Had the pleasure flying it from NY to Paris
What manny don’t know is that the fuselage was that of the old Caravelle and quit narrow. Seat 1a in the Concorde was about the smallest seat with no headroom whatsoever haha
And I’m one of the few who can honestly state that it hasn’t been the fastest one I’ve been flying
Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris E 859 summer shots.
Here is a first batch.

And at my office:
" For the Action Man ".
I combined two vintage advertisings, here.

Don't worry, I have enough photos in stock to make a Part II.

Always big pleasure to see your E859 Polaris summer shots !.. Hope you have not too much work to also allow some occasional relaxation.. Have a great Sunday !
I didn't have holidays, this year. But I discover Paris in August. ;) Thanks, H. [nt]

Vintage adverts are part of social history...
Very interesting how times have changed.
Very nice JLC Polaris
Whilst I am yet to have a JLC in my small collection I can at least say I had the pleasure of flying Concorde back in the early 80's which meant I arrived in New York an hour before I left London which still blows my mind remembering that journey even now nearly 40 years later.

Flying Concorde, that is something I missed, and I regret that a lot. At least I got the Polaris! Thanks, Marco. [nt]

I will try to link them to the watches they are related to. Some moderns are worth a look, too. [nt]

I heard it was not the most comfortable plane, indeed, but certainly one of the most thrilling! [nt]

Nico a thought just passed my mind
If Jaeger offers you the role of Head of House, will you take that role?
I believe you can do it so well.
It could be a great mess! Duometre for everybody will be my motto! ;) [nt]

Nice shots of a great watch.
I love the vintage ads and how nice to see a man of action wearing a watch designed “pour l’homme d’action”. Regards Kev.
Love that Polaris Memovox. What is the diameter? The new one is 42mm which I think a bit too large because of the thin bezel [nt]

Thanks, Sir! On your wrist looks perfect (but my wrist is maybe 70% of yours, hahaha) [nt]

Fantastic series of photos dear counselor. Perhaps they need to push that attitude a little further these days. [nt]
