Just a picture about a thema I am working on, currently.

A stack representing 6 of the most represnetative Vintage JLC automatic watches.



The interest?

The different shapes of thecase, a witness of a certain design, a view on the lugs, on the crowns... A stack is indeed much more than putting watches on others...

With this very typical slender case, you can't go wrong.



Best,

Nicolas.

Any chance to list the watches, or at least organize a contest to identify them?

Best,

Horo

Which are they?

I guess that for one of them, it will be highly problematic...

Best,

Nicolas.

I recall some very nice stacks at the time,,, ;-)

Asi

Believe it or not, but each time I take a stack in picture, I have these blessing moments in my mind.



Best, Bijo.

Nicolas.

all the brushed parts of the watches are in outstanding conditions

thanks for this dream picture

I will add a YG Geomatic, I am right?

Well, the two mentioned above (Futurematic and Geomatic), I also thought to recognize,
(both of them to even hold once..)

-- maybe as a third guess a MMV - E855 ?
-- as a fourth I had thought about a 159 or SHOM ..

Or are these only some of my own favorites ?

Interesting riddle, anyway..
Thanks for the cute evening puzzle,

Best, hs
(aka Watson)

Futurematic: Yes.

Geomatic ( RG ) : Yes.

E 855: Yes, again.

But no SHOM, here,  as the SHOM is a manual movement, not an automatic, and it is a stack of Automatic watches.

Best, my friend.

Nicolas.

How could I forget that characteristics of 159 & SHOM,
- as I do love specifically those very ones so much ?

Maybe if really in my realm, then I'll know for good.

But thnx for kind encouragement,
Will further reflect about those nice "milles feuilles"- like riddles

best, hs

This one:

 

 

I don’t dare to guess on the middle one…

 

Like playing the roulette – always stop when you are a head!

 

 

 

Best, my friend

 

Blomman

Now the last one... Automatic and original... Whose complication is still alive nowadays...

Hmmm?

Best,

Nicolas.

But maybe something like this…?

Blomman

Comparing with the picture of the stack...

Bingo again, my friend... E 153, even better: Jumbo case ( 37 mm ) and pretty scarce.

Best,

Nicolas.

Will find an answer!

 

These documents are very helpful, not only for guessing games…!

 

 

A very interesting stack, my friend!

 

And impressive!

I'll tip my cap to Blomman and of course salute to the Monseigneur,
for the Summer Stack and the puzzles connected.

For the young Padawanat least a reasonable start ( 3/6 with the easy ones):
- well, listen, learn and come back to see more, hopefully..

Thanks for the happy stack & the evening quiz,
good summer fun..

Best, hs
