Patek Philippe Tourbillon Observatoire. A curious ressemblance...

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-07:37

The Patek: 


And now, the Cal 170 from Jaeger Lecoultre, which won several chronometry contests in the late 40's... 



Interesting. 

Best,

Nicolas

😍

Indeed! ;)

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-07:47

Very true...But wow, how beautiful...

Very few wrist watches can reach this level of finishings, alas.

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-08:46

In what era was this type of finishing common/expected in a 'nice' watch?

 
 By: mdg : September 19th, 2024-17:52
...'50s? '60s? '70s? Never?

40's to 60's I am quite sure.

What I thought but good to get confirmation...

 
 By: mdg : September 19th, 2024-19:11
...this is why vintage is soooo intriguing.

Nowadays, you have some Indies, and Montblanc Minerva, too.

 
 By: amanico : September 19th, 2024-19:16

Yes, but the indies I love I can't afford...

 
 By: mdg : September 19th, 2024-19:24

Same for me.

 
 By: amanico : September 19th, 2024-21:40

Thats for me reason enough to buy a jacket, that has a pocket for a pocket watch biggrin

That wouldn't be a bad idea. ;)

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-08:47

i would look classy too, wiht the rightt watch!

 
 By: @lberti : August 22nd, 2024-09:16

It is all a matter of attitude! ;)

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-09:30

"elengace is an attitude" you mean? Has longinges got marketing right in this case? :D

 
 By: @lberti : August 22nd, 2024-10:18

Yep, exactly what I had in mind. For once, this is a great motto.

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-13:57

Akrivia movements remind me of this watch... they kind of took over the desing.

 
 By: @lberti : August 22nd, 2024-09:17

Maybe they found their inspiration with this caliber?

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-09:31

calibre 828 in a reverso from 1993- jlc first ever wristwatch tourbillon

 
 By: golden hands : August 22nd, 2024-10:02




Yes, that's one.

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-10:11
In other version:





increadibly beautiful

 
 By: @lberti : August 22nd, 2024-10:19

Reverso Platinum Nr 2 Tourbillon.

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-13:57

Beautiful movements.

 
 By: gary_g : August 22nd, 2024-12:41

Thanks for looking, Gary.

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-13:57

Hi Nicolas, both

 
 By: GLau : August 22nd, 2024-13:06
are beautiful 🤩!

Which do you prefer ?

The JLC. As it is a JLC movement in both cases.

 
 By: amanico : August 22nd, 2024-13:56

Absolutely stunning! Thanks!

 
 By: smironov : August 23rd, 2024-08:30

My pleasure.

 
 By: amanico : August 23rd, 2024-21:19

Same movement supplied to PP and VC, if I recall...

 
 By: watchme : August 23rd, 2024-15:42
the VC 145, I think, but I could be wrong. Interesting that JLC added 3 jewels.
 I hadn't seen any examples of JLC's tourbillon in a Patek. Thanks for showing.
