JLC Ref 24 000 - 42 Chronometer
A review will soon be posted, but I can't resist to the pleasure to introduce you one very special watch, the Ref 24 000, a Chronometer from the Seventies, which I got at the end of past year.
One of the hidden pieces I kept secret...
Wat better way to share this addition than these summer pictures?
And especially these roof shots dear to my heart?
Best,
Nicolas

Very interesting looking, Vlad
Can't wait to hear more about this one. Of course, that blue dial looks amazing against the red roof tops. Best, respo
This is a watch I learned to appreciate.
It took me a bit of time, but hey, it is a chronometer, it is a vintage JLC, and quite a lovely piece. Not a beauty queen, but lovely, yes. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thank you for showing to us ...
That beatiful piece over one the most famous roof tops of this world. Cheers, Nilo
I like anything with an integrated bracelet...
Nicolas, you are killing us with these beautiful watches, my friend. John
Just... WOW!
This is one review that I can't wait to see! Nico, you're a maniac when it comes to these watches! Regards, Adam
You have to change your car project to this one now...
Thanks for introducing the 24000, aniInteresting and rarely seen watch with some intrinsic values I am sure. Nikolaj ...
Not strange at all...
I just wondered if your taste was going in the direction of the '70 and The Return of the Saint? Not sure the watch is for me but the more I think about the P1800 the more I like it! I guess that even if I am myself from the '70, I am much more attracted ...
Well, I share your taste about Vintage...
I would happily make an exception when it comes to women... And especially wifes. ;) Best, Nicolas
Double revelation
Finally! ;) This is a nice hidden secret that you are revealing now! But it is also a double revelation as the italian light seems to be the perfect one to reveal this watch. It can be hard to understand these 70s chronometers with the 906 movement. But w...
Well, I am still hiding a few, but ssssh, this is a secret! :)
Yes, they need a bit of time to be fully understood, in their interest and beauty. Best, my friend. We need to meet! Nicolas
lovely and sober dress watch
The dial is amazing and the rest of the watch screams elegance. I love it.
I never saw you or pictured you into the early 70's style
nothing wrong at all with it, as you know I like it and the 70's too, but I am a little surprised by you, anyway good move buddy.
I did have ( and still have ) a few pieces from the 70ies, such as the Snowdrop
Or the Polaris II... But you're right, I do prefer the 50ies and the 60ies. Best, Nicolas
The retro style of...
... this piece is really growing on me. Looks like it could've been designed by Gerald Genta... just sayin'. Of course, Nicolas's review is spot on! - Scott
There is something looking alike, indeed.
These Cal 906 came only one year before the AP R.O and 5 years before the Naughty Lus... ;) It clearly shares an inpsiration from the Seventies. Best, Nicolas
Cal 906...endgame before quartz for jlc
Nicolas, congrats! As you know, I am fascinated by the chronometer theme. The cal 906 is JLCs endgame trying to fend off quartz with high beat chronometer movements...no chance at the time. The 2400x series is so over looked and under rated. I own two 240...
It will be time to take a family picture, when we meet, my friend.
I worked on a review I will post later, but I can already tell you that JLC doesn't have the production numbers of the 24000, I mean of the different dials. I am sure Zaf knows the existence of the 24001, but I guess that he didn't have one to publish it ...
haha... i just got another Ref 24...
... but your blue dial plus 24000 is much rarer to find... congrats, Nico. stefan (here is mine, 24002-42 in white dial on bracelet) ...
Stunning watch with an amazing dial Nicolas! Love those shots...
... taken with the Italian tiles as background! Look forward to see your complete presentation in a near future. Un abrazo, Abel.
