Seeks shares his excitement over acquiring a 70-year-old Jaeger-LeCoultre triple date calendar, perfectly timed for Leap Day. His post features a series of captivating wrist shots and studio photos, highlighting the vintage timepiece's enduring charm and intricate details. This acquisition marks a significant addition to his collection, joining a moonphase cousin with similar tear-drop lugs.

First catch of the year, and it arrived recently - just about in time for the leap day. I looked around hard for this config and am loving this 70year old triple calendar from JLC!

Sharing some wrist shots and indoor shots with the light tent.

Warm regards,

A couple of wrist shot taken on the streets earlier last week. Wonder what it was like in 1945 !

Got the light tent out for these.

Finally, joining its moonphase cousin in the collection. Very similar tear drop shaped lugs as the Vacheron Constantin Ref. 4178 which I have posted recently

Many thanks for looking!
