Vintage Ads: The Series – Part #12 The Polaris / Concord ad – 1969 Class Reunion
Hello Vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Lovers, Of all Jaeger-LeCoultre ads I think there is one we all know: The Polaris / Concord ad from 1969. Three years ago I made this photo: The ad is a printout from a scan. The Polaris is the TT Polaris. Close, but no ciga...
Wow ! .. What a post., something to digest, enjoy and reflect about ! :))
Just some quick line: I truly enjoyed this one, and a lot indeed ! And the original ad is a true cherry on this cake; Amazing for sure - I enjoy your quest for perfection, my friend .. - one Q if allowed: in which newspaper did this ad occur ? To just bri...
Sorry to say...
I don't know which paper the ad comes from - found it on a auction site, single page only. Thank you, dear friend! I know you are working this theme as well... Maybe you will show us your version of the Concorde ad one day..? :) Best Blomman
If I judge by the background of the photos...
picturing your father's metal (craft)ship, you still have snow on the ground? You must have had a great snowy winter. Regards, Yves
Winter was not great... But, yes a lot of snow!
To be honest - the pics are a couple of month old... I had all the components ready for this post for a long time. Just lacked the time to put it together. Best Blomman
This is something I had in mind, some years ago.
To be able to gather the 3 Refs of the Concorde advertising, which must be the most famous ad in the JLC Vintage world. And when you got your E 859, I immediately thought: " He will do it ". You did it, indeed! ;) Superb post, my friend. I can imagine how...
How could I resist..?! ;)
We both know that this day would come, my friend! You know me well - a oppertunity like this is too good for me to pass! :) Yes, this is a trio that makes me very happy. Soon I will show you this Polaris in the metal and you will understand my joy! Best, ...
Can't wait for that moment. you know how much I love them.
We'll organise a photo session, my friend. And it seems that it will be soon. Best, Nicolass.
excellent!
I believe that there is a Concorde being restored in the Musée de l'air et de l'espace at Le Bourget airport in Paris. You should see if it's there and take a pic with the advert and the trio of JLCs! -MW
re: RCDG or Bourget
Hopefully you can find out for blomman if the Concorde is actually there, it would be perfect and rare opportunity to complete the photo. It would be one bada$$ pic! -MW
What a challange! :)
Hm, I will see - if possible, that would be an awesome pic! :) Best, my friend Blomman
You took your time but this post is a classic ...
Blomman, I admire your love and dedication to Momos but you always find a way to take this to another level. My sincere congratulations. You should create an electronic book with all of your posts of this category. Cheers, Nilo
Funny, but the original ad was the one hardest to find!
The watches are of course not easy to find and fund, but the original ad... To find that one is pure luck! :) Thank you, my friend - interesting idé, maybe one day I will try to make a e-book. Best Blomman
Next step: skydiving!
Congrats for this gathering and arrangement. A superb trio, a great performance! I am looking forward for the next step: skydiving ;) Best ...
Na, still miss the small clock and the add...
Have similar clocks but not that ref... And the will enven more problematic to find! When I have them I also need to have a parachute certificate! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
This is actually a much more interesting ad!
Thank you, Marv! The ad you show us here is actually much more interesting. Three watches - three different calibers! 825, 916 and if I don't remember incorrect the small travel clock has cal 911 inside. The E 872 was one of the first Memovoxes using the ...
I'm not sure if I should be amazed by the watches or the ad first.
But I am very glad to see your dream is realized. Awesome! Ruckdee
Thank you, Ruckdee! :)
Yes, one of my dreams came true! :) Unfortunately, I still have many unfilled dreams... Or should I say luckely?! What would life be without dreams...?! Best, my friend Blomman
Superb post...
.....what history. What dedication!! Blomman.....you deserve such great watches! Many thanks for this fascinating post
Without help...
This would have been impossible! :) Thank you, dear friend! Best Blomman
Ah
I always believe that people tend to get what they deserve in the end. You deserve these beauties. No question.
Then I must have been very good in...
a previous life! :) Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

Your patience has been greatly rewarded!
Hi, blomman, What a great treat to see this ad! It comes as a surprise to me to find out about this association. Really cool! And, what is better than the ad, the watches themselves! Super examples all of them! Best, Alex
Well Alex...
The Polaris you know well! Maybe it is time to explore the other "class mates" now? Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
