Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hopefully yes I will know someday....

 

Hi Christian,

 

Yes I will know someday, and perhaps a few hours before you, or not.

 

At the moment I don't think someone out of JLC exactly knows how it will look like. I'm not even sure someone at JLC exactly knows (but I'd like to know what they know).

 

I agree that I'd be interested in a reliable reference on dials and dates. For sure the launch of a new Polaris will bring us a written reference next year about that dear subject.

 

Regarding the calibre I think we will see the new calibre Memovox used in the Extreme World Alarm implemented in the Polaris.

 

At least the Polaris quite probably won't have the same calibre as the Amvox1, obviously not the same dial, and I hope for a plexi.

 

What I'd like to see in common is mainly the case size, in a more waterproof version (200 or 300 meters).

 

I'm still waiting with great desire for my Amvox1 (on Wednesday quite probably).

 

You'll know.

 

Cheers

 

Dje

For my 2000th post, let's get some sweets! Beware the Polaris!

Dear fellow JLC addicts, We've been very active with the new watches launched in the last years, but as the time is coming when the Jaeger-LeCoultre Patrimony Gallery is going to open, I now have the opportunity to share some pics of a cult watch, probabl...  

Put me on the list!!!!!

I would definitely sacrifice any further watch purchases in the foreseable future for an original or re-edition of the Polaris. In the latter instance a 44mm case, alarm mechanism from the W-Alarm, tritium (or something that will burn bighter and longer t... 

Is there any list or real project?

 
By: Dje : October 1st, 2007-01:36
Hi, Honestly I don't know. I'd be on the list too, but at 42mm. Cheers Dje

Probably not a list....

but at least I asked first to be on it if there ever is one Simon

You tease us....>>

Garce! Monsieur Le sourcier de la Polaris. J'attend avec l'argent pour...... Merci, Velociphile ******************** Polaris Reissue waiting list #1 not this can of worms again !...  

Yes Tim....

Hi I remember quite well your article. I happen to like Vadim's mock up. I'd like to see it with tritum yellow colour and Compressor chrono keys, it may be perfect. We all have to wait anyway. Dje

Vadim also mocked up....

 
By: Velociphile - No longer in the building : October 1st, 2007-11:02
www.watchprosite.com Ahhhh, brings back memories - all the pics seem to have vanished tho'. Amongst which Vadim also mocked up a diver with depth gauge if I remember rightly. I'll have to see if I still have those and how close he got to the GeoDeepSea. V... 

Though I am #2 on the waiting list, I doubt ...

... that there will be a reedition that comes closer to the original than the AMVOX1 does! The case design of the AMVOX1 matches that of the Polaris (absolutely - as Nicolaus pointed out recently). If there is a divers Memovox Polaris reedition it is like... 

Your words seem quite sound

 
By: Dje : October 1st, 2007-08:37
Hi Christian, You are probably right but they have the power to say yes. If they want or will is another story! Dje ps: anyway the original was perfect so.....

Jerome, you will be knowing better than me ...

 
By: HerrK : October 11th, 2007-03:33
... what the Polaris remake will be like - to be true I do not kow at all and cannot even get an idea from Jaws post, as there seem to be dates and dials of the Polaris completely mixed up. But even if the remake would be perfectly matching the original (... 

You tease...!!!! Great pics though...

 
By: Andy : October 1st, 2007-15:05
Do JLC read this forum - do they know what a seller this would be....if done right..!! Like you say the original was as near to perfect as you can get. Thanks Dje, Andy.

Very nice report, Jerome.

 
By: amanico : October 1st, 2007-22:47
This Polaris is simply extraordinary. It was and still is a modern watch, but born 44 years before ! On the wrist, it's perfect too. Yep, let's wait, see and pray for a reedition of this model. I'll try to post ASAP some pics of the Polaris and the A I to... 

Jerome...Nicely covered.

Hi Jerome, What a complete coverage!And it makes a good 2000th post.Double Congrats! Hope to hear from you as often as possible. Thanks for sharing. Warm regards, BHK9

A wonderful post, Dje, for a truly charming watch . . .

. . . which makes me wonder how the elegant dial designs of the golden age of watchmaking vanished from favor . . . best regards, Art

Dear Dr, do you know where the DB4 has gone?

 
By: Dje : October 11th, 2007-01:47
Hi Dr No, We have to live in our times. We may be a minority perhaps! Don't give up the fight! Cheers Dje

Dear Dje...

I think some of us here have typed ourselves silly raving about a re-issue of the Polaris and many of us have put in our wish list on a much earlier thread. All that's left is to see if MJLC listens to its "old school" bunch of enthusiasts...those die-har...
