As we often speak about JLC Diversity in watches, this picture would illustrate it perfectly. From left to right: Jaeger 4 ATM, Duomètre à Chronograph, and Amvox II Platinum: 1/ The Jaeger so called " 4 ATM " is one of the Rolex Daytona competitor. It sha...
....actually it is an excellent start, my firend. and so wonderful to see the history of JLC chronographs side by side. As I mentioned to Nicolaj yesterday, I think the AMVOX2 would be a great complement to his Reverso Chronographe Retrograde -- and that ...
At least 2 The Reverso Chrono ( rose gold LE ) or the Gran Sport Chrono, which was also fantastic. The EWC, for sure! But you can add pics to this post! If we speak about Vintage JLC, the funky Chrono I posted while paying a visit to the Heritage Gallery ...
Great post on chronos Nicolas, something close to my heart and wrist.. JLC does such a great job with an awesome selection of chronographs for all tastes and needs. I like the 4 ATM, it is one I have not seen before. You always have something from the pas...
Thanks for your contribution, my friend. That's what I wanted to see...A Live picture of the Master Compressor Chrono, to feed this topic. Thanks a lot, Mark. Best, Nicolas
First Respo, now you Nicolas! Sneaking that Duometre in front of my eyes Lovely chronos I must say. I was not aware of the 4 ATM, but I like it alot! The design reminds me of a certain Sinn model, or rather the other way around as the Sinn was obviously m...
As for the Duometre and the Amvox II, they would nicely compliment your RG Reverso Chrono, my friend. This is a killing piece! A Conspiracy? Naaaah! Oooh well, maybe the Conpsiracy of the Good taste! Best, my friend, and thank for your magnificient " rect...
into chrono movements, it was merely the most modern (and a darn good one, at that!). From 1870-to-1900, Le Coultre & Cie made MANY chronograph movements. The 75X series was the first self-wound chrono. -Dean
We were speaking about Wrist Watches, but if we have to include Pocket Watches, of course, we'll have to mentions much more In House Chronos! And some are really to die for! Thanks for reminding us that information, my friend. Best, Nicolas
As much as i love JLC, i have to admit that the Daytona has the edge for me vrs teh 4ATM. I think the 4ATM is a beautiful watch, and i would love wearing it, but i am not sure it has teh soul of the vintage Daytona. Nowm the duometre is a very special wat...
You have good memory! Well, between the Vintage Dayto and the 4 ATM, there is something like un " air de famille ", and I will try to post some pics of another nice JLC Chrono, the Vintage Diver. In fact, it is here Black or white dialed, these Vintage JL...
I love the A II so much that for the fisrt time of my Collector's life, I will double mine with the latest A II Racing... I must be completely nut. Best, Nicolas
From left to right my first thoughts are: classic, future classic, and modern original. The watches are wildly different in personality and execution. Removing all hallmarks to the brand, a person might be hard-pressed to connect the 4 ATM to the JLC fami...
" Classic, future Classic, and modern original ".... How would you qualify this one? : And I didn't mention the other Vintage Chronos from the 50ies or 60ies, more " classic "... A wide story, indeed. Best, Sister Nicolas...
...it was "futuristic" but now it seems very retro, doesn't it? Was this meant to be a competitor for the 70s Omega "Luke Skywalker"-type Speedies? Cool strap on this piece, BTW! Cheers, Daos
Hi Nicolas, I too love the vintage JLC chronos. Until I saw some of your posts on this forum I had never seen another like my own. I believe that it is a mid 60's model with a Valjoux 72, and 41mm, similar to yours. I have no idea if it is a "diving chron...
It makes me think about this one: To me, it is not a Diving watch, but a Pilot watch, with the oversized Minutes Counter, like you can see on the Breguet Type XX. You will also notice that the lugs are larger, flatter, too. The movement is exactly the sae...
The 4ATM is, in my opinion, a better watch than the Rolex Daytona (my apologies Rolex fans). A more rare watch and a better size.... The duometre... what can I say other than it is on my wish list..... As far as the AMVOX 2, it is the most unique chrono i...
A Dayto Vintage is a superb Chrono, and if you go for a PN dial, it may even be sublime. Or a superbly patined dial, as our friends at the rolex forum have. But, there is no reason to neglect the 4 ATM, less prestigious than the Rolex Dayto ( I mean, less...
