Not so sure about the "grande Taille" thing
To me, the 861 'GT' was clearly marketed with the GT 'Grand Tourism' meaning that was fashionable back in the early 1970's
The add clearly suggests this (although the official meaning of the accronym could have been different. But that is not what buyers back then would have understood by seeing this add)

Cal 916, you meant?
I love it! Well, I'm looking for another reference, but which came with a similar case, the Ref E 861 ( Cal 825 ), whose picture is on the Concoerd ad. This is a strong looking watch, very representative of the 70ies Design. The GT symbol mlade me often s...

Very cool ad!

JLC....
seems to have associated with other cars too (apart from Aston Martin)... cool ad indeed... thanks for posting.... cheers
This Opel GT and the Memo are such a Duo!
Funny, I was thinking to make a post about the association we could find between Vintage Cars and Vintage JLCs... JLC often marketted their watches in relation with cars, like they did for the Parking, this one, the Geomatic, without forgetting that Jaege...
We can already play this game...
Let's make a post, and find what woudl be the best pair between a Vintage JLC and a Vintage Car... Who launches the thread? Best, Nicolas
The predecessor to the 873 : the 861
Almost same case than 873, but different movement (here the 825) Same watch as in the GT ad above...
A cousin says hello ;-)
A not-so-distant cousin from Denmark says hello... I've always found this design to be very characteristic of the 70's. It may not be a beautiful, classic watch - but it sure is special in its look and feel. Best, Claus Very 70s You can still see the Spee...
Claus, this is COOL one....
Claus, love to see this very cool not-so-distant cousin. looking at the caseback, it also has "GT" marking, but there is no such "GT" printed on the dial?! by the way, what is the color of the dial of your GT? can't see it very clearly from the screen. in...
Brown - I think...
Hi Stefan, Thanks for the kind words! I love these designs - your watch is pretty cool, too. The dial is some sort of brown - I think....Unfortunately, I'm somewhat color blind. But it goes very well with the gold case. Best, Claus
Congratulatinos!
You vintage guys are very busy! It makes my head spin. What a great catch! respo
Congrats Stefan!
Great catch! Looking forward to see your next two memos…! Best Blomman
