JLC logo over time

 
 By: mihai_a380 : January 19th, 2013-07:41
Hello,

I was studying different vintage JLC watches and as I could figure out the applied JL logo appeared regularly from the 60s, older watches being signed Jaeger-LeCoultre. 
I'm not talking here about the LeCoultre signed watches for the US.

Does anyone have more information regarding the evolution of the JLC logo over time.

Thanks

Here you are:

The demonstration is not very conclusive about the evolution of the JLC Signature on Vintage watches... As you can see.

I'm amazed about the historical package you have Nicolas.

I'll try to find a question you will have troubles to answer to :p

And these pictures are cookies to me. Thanks.

Far from knowing anything, Mark. We learn everyday.

Interesting,

As I see, the "JL" logo that is represented on the dial and crowns of some watches appears first time somewhere in the 60s .
 
I was looking at some automatic memovoxes and the older ones usualy don't have this logo on the dial and their crowns are plain. The later ones have the JL logo on crowns and on the dial at 12 o'clock. 

Aaaah, ok. In this case, yes. I would say around 1960.

And yes, you are speaking about the E 855.

Here  is mine, without the Logo, hence, a " first generation ".

 




But  if I didn't get you, it was because there was no Logo. The 12 was changed for a JL Logo, on the E 855, not on all the references.

Best,

Nicolas
