Explore Vinontre's impressive Jaeger-LeCoultre Diver Alarm collection, featuring vintage and modern references. Discover the passion behind collecting these iconic JLC watches.

Vinontre showcases his impressive collection of Jaeger-LeCoultre Diver Alarms, posing the question of whether his dedication is passion or insanity. This post highlights the allure of JLC's iconic dive watches, particularly their alarm function, and invites fellow collectors to share in the enthusiasm for these distinctive timepieces.

As you can see, I'm "MAD about JLC Diver Alarms"

There's just something about the JLC Diver Alarms that drives me mad (in a good way of course!)

Three are still missing, but I think I'm slowly getting closer and closer to the cure for my insanity...

Seven is a lucky number... But 3 are missing still

Whats missing here?

As you can see, I love plexy...

The NSA and its parents and grandparents

Actually the NSA was my first introduction into the world of JLC Diver Alarms, so I guess in my collection, the NSA is the big grand-daddy of them all..!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Superb, my friend.

Well, as we dscussed on the Wristscan forum, the missing ones are the Damn Trio: DSA Europe ( Vintage ), Polaris 65 ( Vintage ), and TT P 65 SS... BUT, if you are on to Vintage JLC Alarms, you also miss the 3 Polaris II: Grey, Blue, and Red Dials. Once you are here, you may be tempted to dig into Vintage JLC Divers, just for the game: MM Deep Sea, Shark, Jaeger Diving, and MM Dolfin. Superb photos, my friend. And interesting post! Best, Nicolas PS: I may well come back to this topic, soon....

So...

what you mean is that my insanity will never end... ;-) Good thing I got a slight headstart on the second leg of the journey with a red dial Polaris II... But oh so many more to go! Thank you for the kind words! C

Aaaah the infamous Red Polaris II! One I am still running after!

I hope to be able to close the Vintage JLC Alarm Divers thema at the end of this year... With a bit of luck. Just in time to start another one. All the best ( of luck ) my friend. PS: I didn' get it: Did you put your hands on the Red Pla II, finally?
