Jaeger-LeCoultre

You all know my love and fascination of the 1958, 125 years Jubil collection from Jaeger-LeCoultre... Three watches... All with different characters.... Ref 2233 Ultra-thin Ref 3161 Memovox Ref E 168 Chronomtre Reminds me a bit of an old Clint Eastwood ...  

Looks like you could reproduce the ads with your watches. 125 years in 1958 that is an accomplishment. Thanks for the flash back. Bill

One day I should include the ladies and the clocks... :) Best Blomman

Who is who, according to you. I guess that the Classic is the 2233. I feel the 2233 is a step below the 2 others. The true king, for me, is the Geophysic. The Parking is a funny, humouristic version of the Icon. But for sure, three nice watches form the J... 

Is the 2233. The Memo Parking is the Cool and of course the Geophysic is the Awesome! :) But, The Classic, the Funny and the True King is not such a bad name either...! ;) As for the Memovox International... Yes, the Elusive is a perfect name! Best, my fr... 

The only 'group shot' of the Jubile series I could find is this very, very low-fi one. 'Heures Internationales' is there, in the corner, but still quite elusive given the quality of this family portrait ;-) ...  

.. thank you for kind sharing !.. My Best, for the week as well ! hs

Thank you for joining, Clavi ! :) The elusive memovox international.... I need to find one! Best Blomman

And, AFAIK , this one shies away frequently or, even worse is " compiled from other "components", to say the least .. thanks for this share - This Jubilé is something !! Full respectful of your all's deep sleeves ;) .. Best, my friend hs

And all original. But, yes - many version of replaced center disk pops up here and there... Best Blomman

It is amazing to see these three together -- a wonderful piece of history, Blomman. And what a great theme for this mini-collection within your magnificent JLC collection. Best, respo

When it comes to JLC dress watches during the 50's! :) Thank you for your kind words, my friend! Best Blomman

Good to see this Jubile podium. The 2233 certainly needs more coverage than it has received so far. It is understandably in the shadow of the Geophysic and Memovox Jubile, but nonetheless this is a rare watch and a very elegant one. Jaeger LeCoultre recen... 

Clavi, please find time! Didn't know there was a US version.... Best Blomman

US version: ( LeCoultre ) French version (Fabriqué en Suisse) ...  

Never noticed any of these before. A bit surprised to see any of these versions. I was under the impression that the Jubilé pieces was not released in the US. You never see a US Geophysic or Memovox Parking. Same to see the " Fabriqué en Suisse". You neve...
