Hello Nicolas! Thank you for the link...
... which provided with an interesting overview of the history of JLC and connection with Favre Leuve. An intrincate complex story I must add!
I will try to post my new (new to my collection) little Le Coultre Chrono E2644 (Valjoux 72) I captured a few days ago. I´m very happy with this addition, and it is part of some recent "Dexter Captures" I told you about.
After viewing Matts beautiful Jaeger Chrono above, also with a Valjoux 72, I was wandering if the Le Coultre name was used for the US market.
I wish you´ll explain it to me when I post my Le Coultre next week. I regret I know so little about this wonderful and amazing brand.
Un abrazo mi amigo Nicolas, y que tengas un lindo fin de semana!
Abel

Car and Watches - The mechanical things that we love
The concept for this thread must be given to our G99/Graham that defines as "Purists common denominator (music) food, cars and watches and to Art that embraced the idea. It's Friday in Singapore, allow me to start the show (that never ends, like the ELP s...

Where is a picture of the Volvo and the VolvOX? Now serious. Wonderful shot of the watches insides the wheel holes. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo
Well, there are some Vintage which are even more interesting, but
I must admit that this Tribute is a winner. Best, Géo. Nicolas

Sir, If one follows the a line watch -> Renaut symbol -> Red dashboard cover -> red circle (don't know what is). Extra cool. About your X Type, it's a great car. I drove one during a major snowstorm in Chicago years back and the four wheel drive make a gr...

Here's an age old conflict ...
... that has only brought us better cars: BMW vs MB. C63 335i Coupe ...
There is not a conflict ...
Germans knows how to make cars, in the same sense that Swiss people knows how to make watches. Funny thing that I was never attracted to MB and BMW. Before someone jumps, Japan and Korea also knows how to make cars. Cheers, Nilo
Let's say competition then ...
... although there is sometimes conflict in the minds of owners. A bit like Ford vs General Motors. But ultimately both companies (and I should throw in Audi here too) have produced better products because of it and the owners have benefited. Andrew

Great moments ...

i recognise some of my pics in there Bim.
Who's the really handsome devil driving the subaru legacy? Its not often i get to see a pic of me driving my own car. I think the mirror image with the streetfighter is a winner. G

Despite all of those fancy cars the series ends ... With Audi. Congratulations, Nilo
Great, fantastic Bim, what do you have not? I bet....

On a sport piece, the finish is acceptable, IMO.
And be sure that you are not alone to love this watch. For me, the Amvox Collection stopped with the 3. And I really do love it! Best, Nicolas.
Funny thing Nilo

But to Graham, that reais your mind and reports to Dr. No. About your glove, by any chance do you have a Zodiac watch? Cheers, Nilo

Great shots! The picture...

my favourite modern speedmaster Nilo
I liked it so much i bought 2, although i gave my son one for his 21st birthday. If anything i like the look far better than the speedy pro. The hands and steel bezel give it a fresh look despite it being a re edition(sort of) of the 2915. You often see t...
Now that you mention ...
Didn't knew that those Speedies are sort of rare. This is the second one that pops up this year. The first had a weird mismatch between the number on the lugs and the movement. This one is perfect. Of course I started looking for one after seeing yours. N...
Agree. The Brits are far worse compare to the french when it comes to temptation.
Now just where is that Baron with those magic planting pots .....

Good weekend to all ...
Great colors ...
of a great watch. I wish I had a large wrist to wear a Pam. Cheers, Nilo
I am sure you can pull it off. 45mm is not that large for the wrist. Trust me. [nt]
Nilo the short wired lugs also helps in wearability. Go get one to add to your collection.
The B&W shot is lovely ...
And my son, centuries ago, use to have this car. Thanks for the memories. Cheers, Nilo
The Nomos shoot is great ...
Graham, Great taste, great watches. Are you assembling your own car? He he. Cheers, Nilo

Top gear have a v12 table made by the same person who made mine, but they are the only 2 i've seen. There must be more around though. Glad you like it. Its a bit of fun in my man pad. G
Rolex, Aston Martin DB5 and 007
Hi Nilomis, I am not really a motorist (of course I occasionally have to use one, but in general I go by bike), but I have an Aston Martin - toy car :-). Being attracted by the special features of the 007 vehicles, I had an Aston Martin DB5 as a boy and s...

I had one of those when i was a kid. Where did all our childhood toys go?
Excellent, Anaesdoc.
I am hunting somle of these " miniatures " for some watch shots... Good association! Best, Nicolas
