Sunday picture. " All over the World ".
For once, no picture of a watch, but of an ad, an old one from 1958.
" All over the world ... the Time ... Jeager-LeCoultre. 1833 - 1958. "
2 reasons to post this picture now:
First, this is one of these documents about the Jubilé, which was a terrific moment in the life of the Manufacture, but you all know that, now.
Then, last but not least, it is a nice reminder of our international gathering, which will be in one week, now.
So, JLC guys, be there, this is an event you should not miss.
Bring your JLC(s) and your passion with you!
All the best.
Nicolas.
PS: Can't remember where I found this photo, sorry to not be able to credit it.

That's really nice: - Indeed, the central ellipse goes through mid Europe and cuts close through CA ,( close to Las Vegas almost). This will be a very nice GTG, glad that 'La Force de JLC' appears to be well represented. Nice to look forward, and to see m...

Now I know.. Ads are from Brussels Expo '58, credit Marv- Aug 2008
When I saw the response by Marv and the additional 2 ads, to make it a beautiful threesome, I did remember: Was my error: so not the post Eloge du Temps, but a wonderful post by Marv, dated Aug 08, 2008 about Vintage ads: The excerpt from there, derived f...
Especially this rose gold one!
This is one of the very few watches I would make an exception ot my " white metal " rule. Best, Nicolas.
thanks for the reminder...

Borrowing this ad for the IGOTT cause was indeed very funny, Blomman.
Sure the JLC Flag will be high, with all our friends who will attend... And I am pretty sure they will share these moments with us, here. We'll certainly have another great moment to lkive in July, if all is ok for you. All the best, my friend. Nicolas.
I am in! :)
Vacation whole July… So I will definitely be there, my friend! Best Blomman
At 3, it is already a GTG. :)
Will try to make it a bit bigger, though. Best, Nicolas.
Yes we will not disappoint...
I've already reached LA and will be driving to Vegas in a few days. I'm so excited. Will take lots of pics for sure. Ed
I knew I could count on you! :)
Thanks, Ed! Hope you guys will have a great IGOTT! Best Blomman

I only attend the first night BLGR dinner. Had to rush back to LA to be with my wife's Grand dad who was hospitalized.
Cool, Ed....
so you are in town? I have quite no connection time, but will try to find you... best, my friend. Nicolas
Hi Nico
I barely made it to the first dinner at the Alex Rest. Was prob the last to arrive. Couldn't stay longer. Had to rush back to LA to attend to my wife's grand dad who was hospitalized and critical. I wish I could meet you guys....
Very sorry to hear these bad news, Ed...
Hope all is fine, now. Family first. Keep us updated! Best, Nicolas.
Thank you for your concern..
Very happy to inform you that things are much better here. He was suffering from emphysema and was on life support. It was only yesterday that the drs took off his life support and he is much better. Able to speak a little and very very eager to go home. ...
