This indeed is a very nice photo-series, especially liked the..
..macro shots, showing so nicely the curves ( yes, curves and square elements are
complementary, I find).
- all the other shots are really superb as always..
- the contrasts with the orange components of the dial enforce
an exuberant, colorful appeal , also a bit to smile at..
liked the grey/ orange combo a bit better,
(than my own lightblue, somehow
more pale specimen), although form and colors
and their variety enhance the charme of these
Funkies from the 70ies;
- nice coincidence with our "Funky MMVs- Journey"
Thank you for these superb pics:
Always a pleasure..,
Finally allow kind greetings from mine,
and with sincere regards
Always, my best,

Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox E 871 Photo Essay.
I found several pictures of the E 871, a Watch I have in my collection since 2010, whose funkyness always pleased me. Strangely, I never wrote something about this Watch, and posted only a few pictures of it. Here is a photo essay on this pretty cool Watc...
I'm always open to re editions ...
Better technology, up to date maintenance. Bring then on ... But in blue: (Sorry for the fingerprints - It was the emotion of the moment). Cheers, Nilo ...
Provided that it don't arrive with
46mm and a MSRP of five digits, I'm in. Cheers, Nilo
Another one to see in the flesh, my friend. Will show it to you next time.
On pictures, let's say that it is not really photogenic... Best, Nicolas.
Just in case.. You will be three or four (?!) ..
.. Blomman or/ and myself could bring the light Blue ones... - which in my Impression is seen more frequently And a Duo - shot with the famous technique (Pat. pending) ?.. Best, hs
Take the big suitcase... ;)
But remember: You will never come back from Paris with empty hands.
This mantra in fact.. always was right .. Only thing.. ;)
.. I have to be careful, simply is - well, replacing Framboise with Mirabelles.. Other than that, Vishnu & Dr Mamadu will do their " Spiel", I trust. - so many avenues.. Hmmm ;) Best, hs

The Grey / Orange dial is really appealing, indeed.
It enhances the funky look of this Watch, I find. A Watch I will more often wear, for sure! Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Nice essay, my friend! :)
Your E 871 is in perfect condition! :) I should start to hunt a orange one.... Best Mr Greedy ;)
If I was remaking a 70's conspiracy thriller film - like "The parallax view" or
"Telefon" - I would definitely have the coolest looking character - the hero, the villain, or maybe both - wear this watch, in the orange in the picture. As far as reissues, I would be against doing anything too close to the original, as fantastic as it i...
" A contemporary model inspired by this one ".
I agree that this one would be too difficult to re edit. It is very strongly linked to its era. But a modern version would be so cool! You have a point, my friend. Thanks for your feedback! Nicolas
Great Nicolas. When the day of the funky watch is back...
and I am sure it will soon be, you will have to be credited as the man responsible for its re-introduction. Mr VintFunkNico :) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Not so sure something in this spirit will see the light.
It is too " niche " in my book. But it would be exciting to see something like that in the modern production! Best, my dear friend. Funky Vlad.
LOL! Niche you say! Well, perhaps sometime ago....
watches looking, as someone said very galantly;), like hockey pucks (refering to Lange!!??) must have been made for a "niche" market..ahahaha! Look at the number of Panerai, and other U-Boat and "hockey puck" staile watches. I say, people need fun and the...
Totally agree. Niche watches are the fresh air we need!
They are... Vital! Just like the sun. ;) Best, Nicolas.
