I would say that the name Jaeger was used till the end of ...
The 70ies, early 80ies, Blomman.
As for the clock you show here, the Small Neucateloise, I didn't even know its existence...
JLC is a nightmare for the collectors: Each time you think you know, you just realize you know nothing.
But how passinoate it is.
As for your sticker, it is another great find, my friend.
All the best.
Nicolas.

Petite Neuchâteloise…
Hello Friends, I just wanted to share a clock we not often see here: Petite Neuchâteloise. What separates this one from other clocks is that this one is not an alarm clock with an alarm. This clock is more of a music box, when the alarm goes off it plays ...

A nightmare indeed!
Sometimes I am thinking about switch brand to something easier… As late as 70ies, late 80ies?! Did not know that! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
Not a definitive answer, but a clue...
In this document, released in September 1981, Jaeger-Lecoultre announces that "Jaeger Horlogerie" is taken over by the Saphir Group, merger of JLC and Favre-Leuba. It is said that the "Jaeger Horlogerie" will soon be renamed in order to become "Jaeger-Lec...
Thank you for the info, Marv!
Very interesting! I don’t read French, but was the name change only for the French part of JLC? As I know you like old ads – here is one from 1932 where JAEGER and LeCoultre has their own logos side by side. Best Blomman...
Yes..! :)
I thought of that too… Stunning then – stunning now! Talk about timeless… Best Blomman...
What a nice reminder .. Pleasant re-visit !.. :))
That is a nice recollection - and promising view into presence and time to come, Always a little bit in the "pochette", Blomman ! Thanks for this interesting ad and the shared pics ! Best, my friend hs
I have more…
But having trouble finding time to write… I was thinking about preparing a post about vintage ads, but then I revisited Marv’s fantastic post and realized my collection is just a small echo in comparison… Maybe in a few years when I have...

this picture of the rose with white (lacquer?) dial is proof-positive (for me, at least) that the ostrich strap with white stitch (to match the dial) is THE WAY TO GO on the TT rose. -Dean
Lovely little clock.
And how appropriate that the alarm is a tune. I'm just curious as to how it sounds...
I have no video/audio recorder…
Otherwise I would play it for you! It sounds as an old music box, but each time I play it, it becomes a bit better sound. Maybe it hasn’t been used for a long time and need to get in gear… Thank you, Davo! Best Blomman
That's a very nice clock..
With a musical tone alarm..how very interesting. Great catch and thanks for sharing. Ed
Me too! :)
Unfortunately I missed a blue one not long ago… That would have been a nice colourful pair! Thank you, J ! Best Blomman
