We saw that with the Reverso and the Memovox. The Master Control is in the same vein ( think Geomatic ). The Tributes are another good example, too. Let's see the Calendars, now. Ref 2701: Ref 2721: Master Control Calendar: Time is in perpetual motion, in...

The charm of vintage...

With Jaeger Lecoultre, the Past is never too far from our days.

The first one is so nice…

2701, my friend.

Some nice calendar examples

I love the first one, the Double Date. As for the Reverso Date, it is another marvel. Thanks for adding them, my friend.

The first one is so nice, great pic, we had Salmon, Blue and Green dials, is the next wave a "Toffee" dial maybe? :-)

Yes, this is a remarkable watch.

Wow that first one! A good candidate for a tribute and in that rust/copper hue please :-) I even like the white background on the day of the week indicator. Is that a manual?

Yes, manual, my friend. Here it is:

Was that mov’t for a reverso case?

No because the funny thing is that the round version shared the same movement, if my memory is correct...

How interesting

Yes, I was surprised when I learned that, too.

Definitely a common thread - interesting to not the blue day/month rather than the more traditional red.

Yes, a cool detail. But I really like the Red date!

Are there any recent watches with the layout of the 2701? Interesting.

At JLC? No.

Love the 2nd one

The 2721 is really tops. One of the most beautiful vintage JLC.

2701 is stunning

Yes, a pure jewel.

Wow these first two dials are unbelievable!

The charm of vintage...

I still struggle to understand why they don’t use these anymore

Which one? The first one? It is quite small, with 32 mm case.

Sorry i was referring more to the dial design and color of the first two pictures as opposed to its size

Ah yes, I see.

3 classics!

That's for sure. I love how all these watches are timeless.
