Blue, Chronometre, and Funky: Ref 24 001-42.

 
 By: amanico : June 9th, 2012-00:33
A watch I had the pleasure to take in pictures while I was at the Heritage Gallery:




Let's say it straight: This is certainly not the most photogenic of the Vintage JLC watches, but, in the real, it has its charm. Not an often seen bird, for sure. Best, Nicolas

Very unique case design.

I love the blocky bottom with angled corners.

Very Seventies, indeed. And pretty tempting, in the real life. [nt]

And the Heritage Gallery as well!

Thanks for showing this gem.


We may well have some targets in common, Bijo. ;)

All the best, my friend.

I find that watch to be...

 
 By: nwp627 : June 9th, 2012-12:26
...absolutely beautiful and if it were ever produced again it
would be very high on my list of must haves.
Thank you for that photo.

Superbe photo, my friend!

A very difficult watch in pics, but awesome on the wrist!

Blue, Chronometre, and Funky - yes, yes, yes!

Yes, it's on my list - high!

Interesting here is that JLC used the same Ref for two "different" watches:

24001.42.1XX=Date

24001.42.2XX=Day-Date

.X04=White

.X24=Grey

.X64=Blue

Reason for this may be that inside both versions have the Cal 906.

 

Best

I see that you know your targets very well, Blomman.

I had a mad project in my head... Trying to get the three dials of the same ref...

Best,

Nicolas

Plus - I prefer Robert DeNiro's way of hunting - Deer Hunter "One shot, one kill" !

I was thinking of you, when taking pictures of this one, Milan.

 
 By: amanico : June 11th, 2012-06:38

yes, this is very charming JLC watch...

 
 By: FanFrancisco : June 12th, 2012-08:47

... most importantly it fits to my blue theme collection smile

besides, the blue behaves differently when looking at it with different angles
