Don't be mistaken, this is not the Small Red Book, the most famous in the world. But, for us, watchnuts and avid JLC Collectors, it is one of the most important. It is related to an important and very interesting era, for " La Grande Maison ", as you will...  

Love the chapter about the Vintage Memovox : ) .

Me neither...For the moment. Best, Jeff. Nicolas

Hi NIcolas, Love both pieces, you already know it, specially the Géophysic. That Parking Memovox is a very funny watch, love it too. That Small Red Book looks great. Perfect for hiding some treasures. Thanks for sharing. Vte

The JUbilé Collection is a nice summary of JLC Talent, indeed. And the Geophysic is a brilliant ifrst chapter! Best, Vicente. Nicolas

You are not trying to do it to me again, are you? But this time I will (can) not let you. Superb pictures of a grail watch! Thank you for teasing. Martin

I wouldn't dare.... Best, my friend. Nicolas

Mine doesn't have the watch... ...but it has the actual story written in it ! (BTW, correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that the Geophysic came wit this JL signed buckle...which appeared much later)...  

...to your awesome collection? You always bring out a new surprise. So, your book is actually a book and not a watch box? May we see more??? respo

You to? Is this book for the same watch or …? Best Blomman

The buckle is not correct for the watch... But hey, Roma wasn't build in one day.... You should share with us the book in your ...book! Best, Nicolas

Here we go for the Jubile booklet: (last picture: Zaf book)...  

Very nice, Clavi... Another thing I must hunt, now. Thanks for sharing, Best. Nicolas

Thanks for sharing your goldmine of vintage artefacts! Best Blomman

That book is amazing. I, too, wish JLC would deliver some modern watches in such a box. I really do love that parking meter Memo. It is unusual and yet very useful. Wow, I really enjoyed this post a lot, my friend! respo

There was a marketting idea under the Jubilé, but not only.... Marketting " on air " is nothing, but when there is an idea behind, like on these watches, this is just great. Packaging, watches, a great inspiration, indeed. Wait to see the 2 other Jub... 

You nardin book, don't you have any rest? Astonishing find > I am astonished too see how much distances you are going to near satisfy your hobby. This is another of your great find. What’s I find amazing about collectors is their richness often places the...  

That's a very poor pic of me, my friend! As for the book, the title may be... ( Credit pic, you know who...I only know one person able to have such a fertile imagination ) Though, I agree with you, collecting is not nonly about watches, but also all their...

Now you see, eating smurfes is not good for your teeth... Best, Nicolas

Huge congrats Nicolas! You are one step closer to your goal It seams that the book is in good condition as well. Excellent choice of straps! Best my friend, I am very happy for you! Blomman

But that's the fun of it! Thanks for your nice words, my friend. Best, Nicolas

and very interesting..... what kind of box did the parking memovox come with? In regards to the general debate on watch boxes.... as I wrote before, the solution could be for the big boxes to come with useful travel cases/boxes.... cheers

Will have to ask to the Manufacture... I thought it was exclusive to the Geophysic, now I have my doubts. About boxes, food for thought...I hope JLC will read this post. Best, Nicolas

So can we simply call this the Mao-watch ? I see you found the right stitching matching the hands ... . Great find and ... can we borrow the Memovox Parking when coming over to Paris ? Salut Filip

The watch against THE car... On a more serious note, I think we'll have the opportunity to make some very good pictures. Best, Nicolas

I love the "book," Nicolas! It's most certainly surpassed by what's inside however! Those are some gorgeous watches! My heart is thumping out of my chest! I love the watches, and their unique presentation. Cheers, Daos

And the Alarm Clock, and the Barometer / Thermometer / Alarm Clock... I still have to check if this special box alsom came for the other Jubilé Watches. JLC should " dig " this idea, IMO...They could release it in a nice red Vintage leather, for exam...

...watch is OK, I guess...

Now all you need is "sputnik", right? Seriously, your already awesome collection is getting added "heft" and it is nice to see that you are able to complete your geophysic. I hope we will se a "heritage museum" opening in Paris soon, or at least a mobile ... 

As it was only given to the Commanders of the USS Submarines... I, most humbly, will hunt the original sticker, the blue one with the IGY Logo, to complete my Geophysic. As for the Museum, I'm far from being able to open it! Best, Nicolas

hi Nico, missed this post earlier. this book is really interesting, never seen this before. did this book box only come with this model? any other model too? wow, it has so many nice vintage thing for us to hunt for... anyway, you got this wonderful book,... 

One thing is sure, this book / box came with the Geophysic. As for the other pieces of the Jubilé Collection, I am not sure. Will have to ask. Best, my friend. Nicolas

... look forward to learning more thing from you. stefan

to improve the current design and use of watch boxes. This is a beautiful example showing that creaivity did add value.
