A massive attack of vintage Jaeger Lecoultre. Geophysics, Deep Sea Alarms, Polaris, etc...
During our last get together, we had the opportunity to gather some vintage Jaeger Lecoultre legends. And some of us even added some in their collections. Legends, rare birds, sea snake, it is hard to find the right word to describe what we saw. I will sl...
Part 2: Futurematic.
After the Geophysics, let's see some other superb vintage JLCs. A Futurematic has just found a new home, and this one, with this dial, is quite a rare bird: It is the 4th I see with this dial. It is just mesmerizing. ...
Feel compelled to add mine

These Futurematics are divine and witnesses of a sunken time.. Love them ! :))
Here just a humble chip-in with my own Futurematic E502 Love this special spell ! JLC history.. Best, hs ...
Wow, that's a very very nice thread! Thanks Nicolas!!
I must say that I have a fascination for the Futurematic. The fact that it does not have a crown makes it a very nice and balanced symmetrical look! That\'s one I\'ll have to find at some point! Thanks for sharing all these magnificent pictures! All the b...
I would be very happy to see you joining us with such an icon.
The Futurematic is an extraordinary watch. Thanks for your kind words and enjoy the thread. We didn't end with it, believe me. Best, Nicolas
A cousin of the Futurematic, the Powermatic Jumbo.
In this case size ( 37 mm ), it is quite tough to find. Ref E 163: ...
Part 3: Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris.
Another find, during this GTG, a Polaris 1965, not a Lecoultre, but a Jaeger Lecoultre. As you can guess, our friend was quite thrilled to get it. I've seen several Lecoultre, but less often Jaeger Lecoultre signed. ...
Part 4: Deep Sea Alarm, Lecoultre and Jaeger Lecoultre.
As we are into diving watches, a couple of Deep Sea Alarms, US and Europe, belonging to our dear Blomman: This Europe is just gorgeous. Some will point out that the hands are not the same, but both are correct for the two Deep Sea Alarm. How many of us ar...
After Blomman's, mines...
The one which has gone in sad circumstances: My current one, american version. My European, as I got it. Sadly, the correct insert has gone, too. Now, mine in its current condition: ...
Part 5: Jaeger Lecoultre Military WWW.
What about a Military, now? A nice WWW. Always a pleasure to fall on one. The chrome plated case has lived a tough life, which adds to its charm. ...
Yes, these Militaries are really quite attractive.. Next to the WWW, also the Mark VII, & of course the Mark-11 are great pieces. :))
Am happily chipping-in with the WWW & Mark-7: WWW with a P on the dial ( probably for Promethium) A very special piece Mark-7 Weems Here a Military Trio Left: JLC- WWW, Middle: IWC Mark-11, Rt: LC Mark-7 Weems Best, hs ...
Part 6: Jaeger Lecoultre Triple Date, Black Dial.
A Triple Date Black has found a new home, too: One of the most elegant vintage Jaeger Lecoultre ever made. Tear drop lugs, 36 mm case, superb movement. And this black dial is such a feast for the eyes! ...
Just also joining in with my black small Dual Date.. Quite cool watch, and so nice !..
Meanwhile, my wife has taken happy possession of this one.. Lady R & her lucky wrist.. Best, hs ...
A Jacques Lecoultre Yellow Gold, 1949, Triple Date.
Most of them come in plated gold, not this one which is in solid gold. ...
Part 7: Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox Ref 1282A.
A simple Memovox can be an extraordinary find... This one, housing a manual winding movement, from the Mid Fifties, is in great shape, and comes with its original tag. On the tag, it is written Ref 1282A, white gold numbers. No wonder why one of us immedi...
Another rare bird, The Memovox E 11005.
Manual winding movement, end of the Sixties. Superb big case. ...
Geophysic lineup
To see one Cross-hair is a treat, to see two.... To see one in steel is a joy, to see one in Steel one in Yellow Gold and one in Rose Gold side-by-side... To see both the regular and the Cross-hair side-by-side is awesome, to see five in a row - MINDBLOWI...
Here you go!
The missing sistser Would have loved to add it to the family picture. ...
