Jaeger-LeCoultre

Yes, very funky and bold with the orange color yet cool.  I like the logo as the 9 o'clock marker!

The case is big but very curvy: nothing is straight here and it looks like a pebble. The combo ruthenium & orange scale works very well and gives a very modern touch to this watch. These watches from the 70's have had an up-and-down career: they were once totally old-fashioned and now they look very "up-to-date". I think they deserve more interest.

Thanks a lot for the review.

Not unpleasant at all, just different from the timeless beauties of the 60ies.

It is good to have it in the collection.

Thanks for the input.

...that I am presently wearing its (distant?) cousin the E872 Cal. 916.

Here you are, Neil:



I'm hunting this one, to complete the collection of differently shaped Memos, but your E 872 is another very good example, too.

Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas.

...to buying one like that less than three months ago. It was,
however, a LeCoultre in 14k yellow gold with a two-tone gold dial.
I'm not a big fan of the noble metals so I didn't buy it. I was
told that it was in excellent condition. Yours is beautiful, as usual!

To me, there is just something about the seventies that is still
exciting and vibrant. C'est la vie!

But yes, it is also in my wish list....

Vibrant, that's the word!

Best,

Nicolas

To answer your question, I don't know, maybe 11 or 12 Vintage, and 4 Moderns?

Best,

Nicolas

It is evident from the detailed pics that you've posted
that this babes true Beauty is to behold in flesh.
Thanks for sharing Nico.

Cheers

This E 871 is the perfect illustration that we shold never definitely judge a watch before seeing it in the flesh...

Best.

Nicolas

Love the opulent curves of the case. Just sweet.
