I knew you would like this one, Blomman.
I had to get it!
I so strongly fell in love with it that it was just a question of time before it ended on my wrist.
Best,
Nicolas
Yes…
That one is really my cup of tea!
Or latte in this case
Question; how big is it?
Best, my friend
Blomman
Yes, it looks bigger!
34 mm? Thank you.
I have recently been wearing a 36 mm watch and I must say it doesn’t feel small.
Maybe time to hunt a 34 mm…

Blomman
You have to try it...
The wrist test... Nothing can beat that!
No a priori, here, just test, and you'll be very surprised, as I was, some years before, when a watch below 37 m was an impossible dream for me.
Best,
Nicolas
Nice size and proportions, Nicolas, and . . .
. . . hope to match this tasteful JLC soon with my latest vintage Omega once a suitably short strap is sourced. It's tiny by today's standards, but feels just right on my wrist.
What, Art? Another catch? :)
Thanks for your nice words, my friend.
You should get one of these striking ladies...
Best,
Nicolas
Simple and unexceptional vintage Omega . . .
. . . circa 1940, rectangular steel case, likely an R17.8 movement. I'm waiting for movement photos to arrive from Australia ;-) . . .
You're too modest, my friend.
Knowing your taste, it must be an exciting catch!
Can't wait to see your pics in the glamorous California Light.
Best,
Nicolas, a bit impatient...

I should consider such a watch myself
Hi Nicolas,
a very nice vintage watch you have got there; it almost looks lost on your wrist .
These alarm wristwatches are not to be underestimated: this whole week I am on nightshift and Wednesday I missed our morning meeting because I finally found some rest during the early morning hours and soundly fell asleep! Not a big deal, but this should not happen regularly .
Maybe a Memovox one day?
Best regards,
anaesdoc
It is said in the booklet...
These Memovoxes are the watches I use the most often, due to their complication.
It is always pleasant to wake up with something else than the ugly alarm of your cell phone, don't you think?
Best, my friend.
Nicolas
I have many in stock...
I love al ot the style of these ads.
As we speak about booklets, ads, and lealflets, I will post something soon, about a mythical JLC Vintage watch...
To be followed.
Best,
Nicolas
1955?
You have reached nearly all the way back to the first Memo, right? At least you are getting closer.
So, how does the alarm sound on this one compared to teh more modern scool bell Memos?
Is it nice to wear a Memo that is older than your wrist?
Best,
respo
It sounds like a ... Frog.
A small frog...
No, I still have to find the one with the tubular lugs, but I'm getting closer, indeed.
Well, I'm not that old, my friend.
Best,
Nicolas
Vlad, no one really knows how old you are
Vampires remain eternally young depending on when they were made...
;-)
respo
Nearly a Full Moon & on the roof tops he is...
Sporting another awesome piece. What's your secret Mister???
HAGWE my friend,

Richard.
It wouldn't be a secret anymore, if I told you, Richard... :)
Thanks for your nice words, my friend.
Nicolas
Gorgeous dial!
...Clean enough to eat off of. Love that rose cast (either the lighting or the dial color- or both!)
Well, mrsnak, the sunset is a bit responsible of this " rose " cast.
The dial has a nice creamy nuance, in real.
But you can imagine that the dial was the first detail which made me fall in love with the watch...
Best, and thanks for your nice words.
Nicolas
The emperor of vintage strikes again.
Regards,
Richard.
