Gold Jubilé...
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 Chronomtre Reminds me a bit of an old Clint Eastwood ...
We have a match
Looks like you could reproduce the ads with your watches. 125 years in 1958 that is an accomplishment. Thanks for the flash back. Bill
My pleasure, Bill! :)
One day I should include the ladies and the clocks... :) Best Blomman
" The Classic, the Cool and the Awesome "... Now, that would be interesting to know
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...
For me the Classic...
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...
Let's see what we can do
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 ;-) ...
OMG, Clavi .. That's an amazing " family" picture.. Pretty marvels !..
.. thank you for kind sharing !.. My Best, for the week as well ! hs
Ah, what a group! :)
Thank you for joining, Clavi ! :) The elusive memovox international.... I need to find one! Best Blomman
I've only seen 1x the MMV Int'l on a so-la pic .. Anybody got a good photo on stock, maybe (?)
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
The one shown in Clavi's photo is perfect!
And all original. But, yes - many version of replaced center disk pops up here and there... Best Blomman
The Tremendous Trio!
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
To me, this trio represent the cream della cream...
When it comes to JLC dress watches during the 50's! :) Thank you for your kind words, my friend! Best Blomman
2233 needs its 15 minutes of fame
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...
US version?!
Clavi, please find time! Didn't know there was a US version.... Best Blomman
US version, French version
US version: ( LeCoultre ) French version (Fabriqué en Suisse) ...
Thank you for sharing these, Clavi !
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...
