received a rare bird....
hi folks, have been busy lately, but my vintage watch collection is still in progress quietly. although nowadays it is getting difficult to hunt for something nice and affordable pieces. you know the vintage watches market out there well are getting crazy...
These Cal 906 are a must for any JLC Chronometre lovers.
Well done, Stefan. I saw the other 906 Chronometer, with the linen dial and will post it soon. A must have, as there were not only the Geophysic and Geomatic as JLC Chronometres, but also the 906, and ... something else, which is really unknown... Without...
One you certainly don't know... One that even the Heritage Gallery didn't know.
Actually, a Chronometre from the Grande Maison... It took me one year to investigate. Best, Nicolas.
re: Chronometre from the Grande Maison???
really? it is interesting to know that. JLC is really doing great job which always maintain high standard watch making. stefan
Great catch, Stefan!
Congrats to a very nice and rare piece! Fits perfect into your blue funky theme! Best Blomman
yes, it is old school cool to us...
... as for my age, 70s watches are still in our memory, they are not stranger to us at all stefan
Fantastic blue dial ...
Here some pics of a sister ! Veeeeeeeery 70ies .... very adorable ... congrats on a fantastic find ! Filip...
like this sister very much...
... Filip, is it your watch? the dial looks the same, blue vs white, date-day vs date, with Chronometer & Automatic printed on dial vs without... very interesting sister!!! stefan
I like it a lot ...
.... But it is not my watch .... it belongs to a friend living nearby .... . Filip
yes, the buckle added a lot of fun to the watch...
... i like it very much! thanks, Ed. stefan
Rare, Blue, therefore Fantastic!
Great catch Stefan! Thanks for the news and sharing! Stephen
very interesting piece Stefan!
and actually, quite fanshionable piece today... Congrats!
This si a nice and most interesting JLC Stefan. By any chance woul it be directly
indirectly Genta inspired. I'm starting to (slowly) take interest in vintage watches so please bear with me... always learning...
Re: GG...
... interesting question, Arthur. i have no answer at all, after reading your question, i went to browse any info available out there, unfortunately nobody mentioned to link JLC watch to GG, only those commonly known watches are UG, Omega, IWC, and PP. my...
I don't think there is something related to GG.
I think that it is related to the typical design of the Seventies. Best, Nicolas.
i also somehow thought so, but...

My Cal 906 Chronometer...
I have a 1970s chronometer with a cal 906 movement. The watch is a JLC prototype, used to demonstrate new or potential models to buyers. Perhaps this would explain the poor quality of the movement finishing, plastic parts, painted Jaeger LeCoultre logo, e...
Hi Steve, may you send me high resolutions pics of your 906?
A very rare bird, for sure! I'm working on a Cal 906 topic, and it would be interesting to get some dead face pics of the dial, case back and movement. Thnak you! Best, Nicolas.
Steve, yours is a killer to me :-)
... it is very interesting to see the very rare elder brother of my watch! the caseback with PROTOTYPE adds great value to the watch and opens with another answer of this watch, the interesting thing is that it seems JLC started to design C-shaped case fo...
found these watches in the 70s catalog...
(extracted this scan some time ago, likely from one of Blomman's previous posts on old catalog)...
Get the one from the catalog
get exactly the one from the 70s catalog, see picture to change the date, need to pull the crown and push back, does anyone know how to change the day ? Chris ...
Easy, just follow the instruction...
Welcome here, Chris! Very nice 24001 you have! :) Best Blomman ...
A big Thanks
Hello Blomman, Was not expecting that someone will get the original instructions Appreciate, a real big Thanks,
My pleasure, Chris!
Hope it will work out for you. Please come join us and present your watches. If you happens to have a GP you are more than welcome over at the GP forum! :) Best Blomman
Where to present
Hello, Is there a dedicated place to present our watches ? (do not find it) And no Girard Perregaux as of now. Thanks Chris
Start a new thread on our JLC forum, if it is a JLC watch, and feel free to share.
It will be our mutual pleasure to see it! Best, Nicolas
JLC pictures already in this thread
Hello Nicolas, Thanks for the answer. Have already share pictures of my JLC watch in this thread, the 4 pictures of the Blue Mariner with metal strap. Other watches are Rolex, Breitling, Hermes, Bell & Ross, Baume et Mercier, Rado, Oris, Omega, Bulova...
Rolex and Omega have a dedicated forum, You can post on these sub foras.
For brands which don't have a dedicated forum, post them in " HOrological MEandering ( HOME ). Best, Nicolas
Very cool 70's elegance! And a jlc chronometer!
I have a real soft spot for these thin octagonal 70's designs, could be JLC, could be Omega, could be some of the really thin Gentas. Congrats!
yes, 70s watch designs shared a lot of similarities and somehow...
... somehow got quite a big influence by GG, imho! stefan
