Weell, right you are.. My knowledgeable friend ;)
Touché !!
- There is this famous piece,
By J. Milton, if I remember correctly:
" Paradise Lost .. - Paradise Regained",
- and that puts it pretty close, doesn't it ?
And luckily, it was not the only catch of
these unbelievable days, but it would
have raised real grief & sorrow, if not recovered,
(ahemm.. once the afternath of Framboise was
completely gone).
- Yes, dear Lord , was veeery relieved !..
Hence, you have a very good memory, Nico
next to some magic abilities.
I tip my hat to hopeful & happy returns, with good outcome
- based on humble experience,
they often generate some of these stories and events,
waving dreams and contributing to the spell.
Best again,
and grandes bises to the family,
hs
PS:
- enough of confession, ehh ?
First Jaeger-Lecoultre of the year.
A Geophysic... Because I would love that JLC reads us and decides to re issue it. Because it is such a discrete but beautiful watch. Because I need a coffee, after all these moments of work, drinks and food. What about your JLC, today? Best, Nicolas...
Hmmm ... smell the coffee & feel the sun
A re-issue ? Do u know something we don't ? Happy New Year !
Well... I know a few things I can't share for the moment.
My lips have to remain sealed as a Patek watch, till the 21th of January... BUT I can already tell you that 2013 won't see a re issue of the Geophysic. Well, if it would have been the cxase, I wouldn't have told you, either... :) Are you lost? I am... :) ...
I trust you are doing a lot of lobbying for us Nicolas ...
but be sure to give us a hint if there is anything we can do to win this fight. I'm not sure if I am relieved or not that the re-issue will not present itself THIS year ... but at least your words give hope! Sign me up for a SS Geophysic with cross hair d...
Not a JLC on the wrist...
But I take the opportunity to wish you a very happy new year to you and to your family! I only have to wait a few weeks to discover the new collection so we will see if 2013 is the year of my first JLC! Fx
That is true! You don't have a JLC, yet!
Une lacune à combler A Gap to Fill ). ;) All the best, my Bordelais friend. Nicolas
as I don't own a geophysic, unfortunately
I "just" wear my geomatic, what a pleasure [/URL] I whish you a happy new year for you and your family ...
That is a superb specimen. Bevelled lugs, impeccable dial.
Very nice! I am regretting my SS version, when I see yours! All the best for 2013, Zewok. Nicolas
Old JLC for a new year
I also picked an old JLC for this morning. Although "an" is quite an exaggeration because this is the only vintage JLC one I own ;-) But I cherish it a lot. The Geophysic is superb with a Geomatic not far behind. Such fine watches! Have a great new year e...
No JLC for me yet ...
that's why I enjoy so much looking at the treasures you share with us here Nicolas. About this "re-issueing" matter, even if I understand your excitement in thinking about such a novelty in the future, are you sure it is a good thing that many beauties fr...
Vast question, Mark...
I would first say that when you know JLC quite well, you cannot miss the fact that the collections are an eternal roundtrip between past and present. Even a watch like the Duometre is strongly linked to the Past. It is a bad thing when it is the only visi...
re: Vast question
You just mentioned the kind of thoughts I also had in mind when I wrote my post. I was thinking about the Polaris and the Deepsea, and the fact that it would be a shame if they had been lost in the depth of JLC's history and we couldn't admire them anymor...
On a somewhat lesser scale .. But happily so.. :)
.. I had chosen this "Petit Monsieur", Jaeger Vintage Chrono for today. Why ? - I always enjoy this one, somewhat low- key but balanced and pleasant, in a classy and reliable modesty. - secondly as it brings back happy moments, moments with a friend, mome...
You didn't tell all, my friend. you forgot the ravages of the Framboise "...
And that you almost lost this one... :) :) :) Yes, excellent memories and times, which call for others! Best, and kisses to the family. Nicolas

Ok, enough of confessions, but promise me we'll meet in 2013...
OR I still have tons of reasons for some further confessions.... From your side. ;) Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Pretty convincing arguments .. How could one resist ?.. :))
I (happily) declare surrender, - and am looking forward to whatever will be possible and ahead. Kind thank you in advance, Best again, hs
When we all wait for the Geophysic re issue, I'm getting ready to travel ...
With my trusty Amvox 1. Just swapped the strap and I will be wearing it for a few days before jumping on a plane (Business trip - boring) An old picture (Today the weather is not good for photography -- rain and ... rain). Cheers and happy 2013 to all, Ni...
Good choice, Nilo. The Amvox I is very popular,
And it is easily understandable, as it is a modern interpretation of the Polaris. Well, one of the modern interpretations of the Polaris. Best, Nicolas
Happy New Year Nico!
and to all JLC PuristS, Happy New Year! May 2013 bring a shiny JLC to your wrists! -MW
What a splendid way of starting the year...
I'lll have to find one of those. I have had near misses in the past. In 2013 maybe. For me The most desirable vintage watch out there. Full stop. Especially in this version that you have there, Nicolas. Best Z'
Starting the tear or the year, Ztirual? ;)
Anyway, I do get you. Not the most spectacular Vintage JLC, but one of the most charming. Yes, With this small touch of " je ne sais quoi ", which makes a huge difference. All the best of luck in your hunt, my dear friend, and also my best wishes, for thi...
Lightning has struck again
Dear Nico, You respond faster than than I can possibly edit. Where is this edit button again,.... Up to menu, down to own mesages... What the heck... ! Yes a 'je ne sais quoi' but also a peach of a movement, those arabic numerals, the time capsule and sca...
What a great way to start the year with...
The Geophysic! :) Would you believe me if I answered different than this one..?! ;) Best Blomman ...
No, it doesn't surprise me.
But would you be surprised if I told you that i plan to wear the same watch tomorrow? ;) Best, Blomman. Nicolas
A bit late
...probably not the best thing to do for the new year - but I'm starting my second week of the year with my only JLC, and one which I love for a few years now and is a keeper for me, which also sees a lot of wrist time, I must add. Perhaps 2013 will see t...
