" A perfect gift anticpates a need "... Brilliant.
JLC was very prolific withe the Memovox.
Through years, the messages were brilliant, indeed, with the sempiternal " Reminds, warns, awakens ".
It is also the opportuntiy to rediscover some other watches:
On the ad from 1953, there is another superb watch, the disc date, the round one.
I think there was no other watch on which JLC communicated so massively.
Some interesting slices of history, here.
Thanks for sharing, my friend.
Best,
Nicolas

KoM… LOL!
Well, thank you – very kind! But I know at least two guys in Paris that are more suited… You are right – I am back (for a short while). A few days off from work gives time to go deeper into the archive! Thank you for your always so kind ...
Awesome post, Blomman
These ads are fun to see and read. I love how you have pretty much every watch in these ads. LOL. Hope there is less work and more watches in the new year. Best, respo

A lot of interesting watches in these ads…
The disc date – absolutely! Did you notice the Triple Moon Face? So many reasons to come back to these documents… Thank you, my dear friend - the pleasure is all mine! Best Blomman
I bidded on this one, at the Paris auction... But it was under
The Reserve Price. DAMN! Best, Nicolas.
Too bad…
Hopefully you will get it next time! Would love to add a Moon face - but right now I have to try to close some other themes first… Before starting too many new… Best Blomman

I wish you a happy new year and look forward to the next installement of your add séries. Best regards, George
