Simple pleasures in life: Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox E 855.

White dial, early E 855 with the applied 12. 





An icon, and not an unaffordable one. 

Best,

Nicolas

Not unaffordable... when you can find it

Early E855 with 12 instead of a JL logo at 12' are very rare (they were the very first E855 and lasted about one year before JaegerLeCoultre introduced the JL logo).
Also, Radium !
(hence, no T SWISS T at the bottom)

Yes, great classy piece to love !.. I am looking for one already for quite a while now, but to me totally elusive yet.. ;))

Thanks for your kind comments, my dear HS. I will let you know if I decide to let it go. [nt]

Yes, Clavi. Not easy to find due to the fact that, as you said, it was a very short production. One year, or maybe two. [nt]

Lovely vintage watch and in great condition. I love brown ostrich straps - so smart; I have one on my Reverso Duo. Regards Kev. [nt]

The combination works quite well, indeed. It echoes with the patina of the radium dots and hands. [nt]

I haven't focused on this iconic watch. Now I stuck with futurematic smile 

We cannot hunt them all. ;) [nt]

For me that is a real dream of an early white-dialled E855 !.. Real class & balance.. A connoisseur's piece.. :))

If you ever decide to part from that one, pls let me know !
wink wink

At least, however, bring it with you next time we meet !
To gandle & touch will be a pleasure, I predict..

Cheers & Best,
hs

I will do so. [nt]

That's a superb specimen

love the colour combo of the patina lume, the silver dial and the ostrich strap...just perfect.

That's something we also see with some vintage GPs. ;) [nt]

strap & buckle?

 
 By: vivek : July 4th, 2017-14:18
Where can I get that ostrich strap. Could you also post a picture of the buckle. Where may I find the period buckle? vivek

Any strap maker can sell one to you.

 
 By: amanico : July 4th, 2017-14:23
As for the buckle...



Thanks! I guess these would be aftermarket [nt]

Of course. But if you want a JLC badged one, then you have no other choice than a boutique or an AD. [nt]
