You summarize it perfectly my friend

Probably even today many people would be able to name Reverso only if you ask randomly in the street but any watch lover would be able to name also the futurematic, Memovox, Atmos, and now of course the Duometre line.

When I think of JLC
By: Cookies : October 2nd, 2021-09:54
I think of the slogan “watchmaker of watchmakers”. For example, the IWC Mark 12 used the calibre 899, and countless Royal Oaks have used their movements. Anything creative, slightly above mid-tier comes to mind. Something groundbreaking, ground-up comes t...

Mater classic: everything is there where it should be. Somehow a clean look.
When I think of Jaeger Lecoultre..

which btw happens many times every day, my mind goes to innovative watches like EL1 and EL2, the Duometre line, all the Gyrotourbillions and of course the memovox watches.
For me..

Immediately Atmos and Reverso. Both I love and have 🥰
Great post; thank you

I agree that, while Reverso is rightly a classic and a flagship model that JLC should and must cherish, for the reasons you and everyone are mentioning, it is not cannibalized by it the way AP, an exceptional historical brand, has unfortunately been by th...
You said it all for me, my friend..

Memovox, Geophysic, Reverso, Duometre, Gyrotourbillon I, & of course MMR’s and the Atmos concept. - If I need to pick just ONE, then maybe the Memovox series, as a whole, for Humble Me..t Best and thx for this food for thoughts.. Best, hs
For me, the JLC is best associated with Reverso and memovox.

The higher complications are, of course, also associated with JLC, but only for real WIS or very seasoned collectors. Most of my friends who are into watches but not really deep, only know Reverso and memovox.
More than just Reverso

Hi I'd go for Memovox, Reverso, Futurematic ( even though it's unusual & rare, it shows their innovation). But also the more recent series Master Control. Cheers JML
JLC definitely pushes the envelopes of complications...

What company produces unusual minute repeaters with even more gongs than Audemars Piguet? What company pioneered a multi-axis Tourbillon? A spherical tourbillon that actually works, when Breguet is technically considered the King of Tourbillons? JLC reall...
For sure 👍

Nico, great post once again
By: Mr.Gatsby : October 4th, 2021-21:18
I think there are certainly some watches in the entire lineup of JLC that has gotten iconic over the course of history, and that you’ve rightly pointed out, the Reverso, Memovox and I would stretch it a bit further to include the niche Deep Sea Alarm, whi...
You and I both share special memories
By: Mr.Gatsby : October 4th, 2021-21:34
With JLC. Some of the old names like Milan, Guillermo and Yves are also part of those memories. Through your contribution over the years here I’ve picked up quite a few pieces…and they are the ones that continue to hold significant value in the collection...
One icon not mentioned is their Ultra Thin

The dauphine hands and dagger indices seem the epitome of JLC dna to me. I was recently discussing watches with two far more sane watch fans than myself. When I showed them the Amvox II on my wrist, they showed no recognition of the brand. It reminded me ...

I would say
By: EinPa : November 15th, 2021-00:15
Reverso it’s the DNA of the brand. If you said vintage then I would say Memovox because it’s the iconic wrist alarm
