The pleasure of collecting. The Jaeger Lecoultre Jubilée collection ( 1958 ).
Some old pictures to show you how rewarding it is to collect, sometime. Here I focused on the Jubilée collection from 1958.
I tried to gather all the pieces I could find.
I still have the Ref 70 Barometer and Thermometer + alarm set, the Geophysic and the Parking, sold the 2233 in rose gold.
And I added the Ref 380 " Double Face " Ref 380, like this one, but signed Jaeger Lecoultre.
I missed the Memovox World Time Ref 3160:
How thrilling is this experience. Sometimes a bit frustrating when you cannot put your hands on a watch to complete the theme, but all in all, something to live.
Best,
Nicolas

Vintage paperwork
I like the brochures/manuals you managed to find as well. Some vintage advertisements are worth collecting too. It goes without saying that the timepieces are the star though!
Waaooahh !.. Really love this superb family of watches + Ref 70.. And looking on the original papers must be a real pleasure & time capsule
.. the Geophysic to me resembles fine watch making but also the concept of Less is More.. Thx for this sublime share & superb pics which always let my thoughts wander.. Best, hs.
That 3160
Wow. I didnt know JLC made World timer like that 3160. Hopefully, someday they will do something similar in dark dial. Thanks Nico!
Yup.
I know this one Nico. I agree it is not as charming as 3160. Perhaps, because of the date window? Thanks!
Always good to see part of your museum my friend!
That geophysic, what a marvel! And the worldtime is tempting, but yiu have to choose between knowing the time elsewhere and getting up at the right time. Even the 2009 model is pretty nice! Thanks for sharing! Best, E.
Memovox 3160 dial
Dear All - I have a question regarding JLC Memovox 3160 dial which seems to me as refurbished. Could you help me with that? See pictures please. Friendly - Tom ...
Yes, all the dial jas been refinished at some stage (likely long time ago)
It's quite likely an old refinish, so it might be possible that the watch itself was actually born as a worldtime, got damaged, then refinished by someone trying to recreate the damaged dial on the spot, but obviously didn't do a good enough job. I can't ...
