What a gorgeous vintage piece, Dje!
Congrats on this teardrop-lugged beauty! There's no question in my mind that these old JLC triple calendars are some of the loveliest vintage watches out there!
Great pictures, my friend! Thanks for sharing them with us.
Cheers,
Daos
A Jaeger-LeCoultre calendar for life: a 40s triple date or a 90s Reverso!
There are watches that have been a lasting dream. I've long been a Jaeger-LeCoultre admirer before being in charge of this forum. There are Jaeger-LeCoultre watches that I now have the pleasure to keep for the future generation. Actually many of those I a...

Thank you Daos!
Hi Daos, Thank you for your nice comments. I must confess that it is indeed one of the watches that I've looked at for a very long time. It is obvious watch. Cheers Dje
I was thinking a lot about your Duo of " JLC Date ", Jerome.
And to tell you all, one is very high in my wish list, the round triple calendar, and the other one, your Reverso, was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise ( sorry for the redundance ) when I saw it in the flesh some 2 years ago. The round Triple Date,...
Someday Nicolas!
Hi Nicolas, Someday you'll see a post you're waiting for....... not yet! I hope you'll put your hands soon on a special triple date piece. You've been hoping for one for a while now. For the Reverso I see another inspiration, a "special" perpetual calenda...
You know, Jerome, there is always a time for a watch.
I have been waiting for MY triple date for a while, now... It seems that 2011 will be MY year, for me to lock this target. Fingers crossed! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Jerome, you know how much I love the TD/TD!
TD/TD – Triple Date with Tear Drop lugs. Yours look fantastic! The Reverso also looks great. Here is my pair YG/RG. Thank you for sharing this beauty! Best Blomman...
Dje, enjoy reading this post...
... although i do not have either triple or double calendar JLC, i am sure these kinds of watch come by, i will for sure get one such classic vintage. thanks for sharing. stefan
I, too, have high expectations...
for the 80eme! The Reverso Date is one of my favorites, but I'm hoping that the SIHH will reveal a triple-date Reverso, or - better yet - an annual calendar! Your comment below "An Everyday Reverso" is true - as we've seen in the 38mm MUT, but, it doesn't...
We'll see soon! Hopefully you'll be answered! nt

fab tripple date
Hi That tripple date looks great. Here's one of its sucessors Master Moon Have to say love Jaeger's calender watches, both your triple date and the Reverso. I still need to be convinced by the current master date - seems to have lost a certain elegance th...
The Master Moon is a very beautiful and understated watch!
Hi, I love your watch too (but we can't get them all). Cheers Dje
What beautifull review Jerome!
I fall in love with your reverso.... Thank's for sharing! Best!
Great calendar pieces
I used to own the reverso, its much underarted watch. i do miss it, your pictures do it full justice.. if you only ever own one reverso. I would heartily reccomend it. Best Imran
Reverso Day-Date
Hi Dje, Thanks for the great review. It certainly sparked interest in the JLC triple-calendar in me! I am the fortunate owner of the JLC Reverso Day-Date. I discovered the existence of the watch after it was discontinued, but I was lucky to stumble upon a...
Welcome here, neoxenon!
Thanks a lot for your input on this Reverso. Well written, and a pleasure to read you. Aah, one thing, this is Jerome's Reverso you see in his post. Looking forward to reading you more often here and there, Best, Nicolas.
How not to love them
Hi Jérôme, Well, it's a fact that I am quite fond of the memovox, the reason being that it is a fairly uncommon 'small' complication to be found in the vintage (and even current) watches world, and that there has been a great diversity of models throughou...
Superb watches Clavi
Hi, Thank you for sharing your pics. You own three gorgeous examples indeed. I understand your point about the original state, but in fact the watch dial and hands were in really bad state when I got them. I just checked the pics I've kept and there was n...
Your dial
Your dial is definitively repainted, not a NOS one. NOS should have the textured 'guilloched' sub-second dial (as can be seen on this moon phase, but this would be similar for the regular version) However, if your dial did not have this guillochage initia...
My black vintage Jaeger-Lecoultre triple date calendar watch
My black dial 33mm vintage Jaeger-Lecoultre tripe date calendar watch in 18 carat gold. Day/Month in French, date white dial against black, Lugs are tear drop, very original 17mm and dial is 33mm. Photos attached....
Dje, this is ..
..what I love so much about JLC, that there is a direct lineage between watches of 60 years ago and those of today. You can see the past in the typography and layout of the modern Master Control series dials. Love your pieces, thanks for showing them! J.
