Seems that our passion for this watch is shared by both of us...
Any pics of yours?
Best.

Bravo again mon ami!

And i see now why you told me to come back to this forum! But the one part that prevents me from saying too much good things about this review, is that the watch in question is a remontage automatique?! You know i only do remontage manuel mon ami.... But ...
BRAVO Nicolas!!

Hi my dear colleague! Congratulations for your excellent work and thank you for sharing with us this Polaris "adventure". Your review is a treat and I'm glad to look at my wrist to check your points. So the point is, now you need 4 Tribute to Polaris, the...

long time no talk. the calypso hands just frustrate me, stems from the Amvox pieces... first i feel the minute hand is way too "loud", secondly it covers up the date window when its anywhere between 14 and 16 minutes, third it throws the dial off balance ...

Many thanks for this impressive post. Wonderful watches, but I have to say the Calypso hands would have finished the design off for me. I can see from some of the follow up that not many people seem to favour them, but to me they just add that finishing t...
An other great post!

Nicolas, Thank you for this incredible review. I hold in high esteem the project in which you have been involved and you can feel proud of the output: Jaeger-LeCoultre has produced two beautiful watches. This tribute without concession proves how respectf...
Thanks, Nicolas.

Thanks for the great photos and particularly the old advertising material. Is the EPSA logo now property of JLC?....now there is a trademark worth owning (well, in my prejudiced mind). One small point of fussiness, many of the vintage pieces appear to be ...
A question: The caseback
By: BDLJ : December 2nd, 2008-22:46
The caseback on the vintage: Were the cases for these made by EPSA or under licence by JLC? The reason I ask is that the case-inner is marked with JLC and the diving helmet and Brevet # of the compressor cases. I am also rather surprised at the rough cham...
Past and future conviction
By: karmin : December 4th, 2008-02:14
Hi amanico, thx for tracing the histoiry of this tribute to polaris. I'm just impressed by the conviction you must have shown in order to bring JLC on board (even if I guess they also checked the financial "viability" of such a project). Do you think that...
Outstanding Qs
By: christoffer : December 3rd, 2008-11:28
Thanks for a great review. Nicolas a few questions: I am confused with 63, 65, 67, 68 and 70 editions. Can you specify in a chronological order all the Polaris and the number of pieces and the differences. The original Polaris had nylon straps?, the re-ed...
Hi, Christopher,

I think that if you read the review I just posted, and the other review I made quite a year ago on the Polaris Vintage, you will have manty answers to your questions, my friend. Here's the link for the Vintage Polaris: jlc.watchprosite.com If you make som...
Christoffer,
