Each time I step back to look at the production of Jaeger-Lecoultre wristwatches, I am always impressed by the very large range of different and appealing products proposed by JLC. Not only in the recent catalogues - where the Duometre and the new MUT are...
Beautiful photos

Steve, I fully agree with you: your model issued in 1953 definitively deserves to join the group. And the Mark 11 is also one of my favourite vintage models produced by JLC. The reason why I have hesitated to include mine is that it is a RAF version issue...
Master RDM

I share your view Marcello. Normal size, with a thin bezel, dauphine hands, small registers, including the black cross at 6 o'clock, ... Within the recent models, the Master RDM can be seen as the closest successor of these vintage whatches.

Hi Ruckdee, The 60's are not really the golden age for reversos. The model even disappeared from the JLC catalog at that time. In my view, the two important decades for the reverso are the 30's and 90's. Reverso have been reserved for another post
Great collection !!

This is very nice duo that you posted here. And complementary too : vintage / modern ; round / rectangular ; metal straight indexes / painted arabic numbers ; central second / little second, ... But in both cases, beauty and elegance
Superb collection, Marv!

Golden years

The 50s and 60s... For sure, it is two great decades for JLC. But when I look carefully at the JLC production in the late 30s (you know what I am thinking about ) or the recent catalogues (you also know what I am thinking about ), it is just impossible fo...
