I usually associate modern triple dates in the classical format . . .
. . . with Blancpain, often forgetting that JLC also made them.
Thanks for joining in, j!

"The full . . .
. . . monty." Let's share the full calendars in our collections this week - triple dates, annuals, and perpetuals. And for those who don't own one, your watch du jour , please, along with a mention of any watch capable of tracking months that might find a...
Let me go early, if not first
will be busy later today, so I might as well… The closest to a Calendar watch I can offer is this one. A rather unique "perpetual calendar" with a bit of manual interaction The GP Gyrodate. As you can see, it is the 22nd and it is a Thursday and more soph...
A calendar that requires thought . . .
. . . to set - clever! Like a circular slide rule . . .
A memorable day. This shot was right before leaving for SIHH and a trip home for this JLC,
just a visit, and a great one it was to meet the watchmakers that created this beauty. Take care, Tim May be the second post, tried an edit, hope it worked. ...
Thanks, Tim - the edit . . .
. . . worked like a charm. That might just be the ideal travelers watch . . . especially for sleepy-heads like me! Best, Art
Looks like I did not delete this previous post? We just had a small power failure, must
have gone to a P channel instead of N……(semiconductor talk). Tim
Hi Fi wins for tubes. Silicon wins for computers. The rest is an endless discussion over
beers. Great shot by the way. Best, Tim
Oh, that image was lifted from Google search . . .
. . . but it is an amplifier I'd love to own - a Berning ZH270. Art
Hi Art.
It is a great alarm and still wakes you up in the vibrate mode for plane, train, auto or hanging out naps. One of my watches to be passed to the boys, in a few decades! Best, Tim
Great watch
Hi Looks great - really like the combination of perpetual calendar and alarm. Also like the switch to make the alarm more subtle by just vibrating- is there a significant difference between the two settings? Cheers JML
Yes!
The vibrate will wake you up when worn, the alarm is quite loud when placed on its back on a hard surface, like a glass or wood night table. This JLC has kept me on time for many a meeting or wake up call when the front desk has failed or there is a power...
The Grand Memovox!
So cool to be able to choose between signal and vibration! HAGWE Blomman
It works at The Grand Hotel in Stockholm very well, best in the rooms with a Sea view!
Keep those signature wristscans coming, please! Best, Tim
So many watches, so little time to wear them all ;0)...
I will be in Paris before SIHH, this time we have a meal Sir. Maybe close to AdM? I think so!! Best to you Sir, Tim
A truly special piece
The combination of a perpetual calendar and an alarm is rare indeed. And in SS even more so.
Master Moon
Hi All Just a few shots of my Master Moon Along with a pointer date friend in the last shot. HAGWE Cheers JML ...
The moon adds something extra to this watch! :)
Will post an older cousin here in the thread! HAGWE Blomman
Looks a bit bare without moon
Hi I've seen shots of Master Dates from same time period- which is the same except for having no moon phase & while they're nice, it does feel like there's something missing. That said never really seen one posted here, only seen catalogue shots - does ma...

Art, your GO....
Keep itching my brain! One day I need to see this one in real! HAGWE Blomman
There's no medicine to cure that itch, my friend . . .
. . . I know, 'cause I've been suffering fourteen years and counting ;-) . . .
JLC reference 2904 in yellow gold....
Will be my "weapon of choice" this week! From the 1945 JLC catalog.... And in advertisement 1947..... From a crazy night in Paris with friends 2012...... One calendar watch I would love to add is the GP 1966 Perpetual Calendar with Equation of Time... And...
The 2904 is spectacular!!
Only one of maybe 5 watches I would own in YG, so rich and buttery, I might just eat it but then it would be gone!! The night in Paris shot is to be repeated over and over again. Best, Tim
Do you recall this composition from RJW . . .
. . . some four years ago? G-P produces a lovely triple-date, too ;-) . . . ...
That's a deadly weapon!
Hi Looks wonderful - what I really like on these & current JLC calendar watches is the red writing. Really does lift the dial. The GP rather good too! Cheers JML
Marvellous dear Blomman! I regret not being present that crazy night in Paris with my own!
Have a great week end my dear friend!! ...
Very impressive
but for me, the Patek wins as I just love the design of their classic perpetual calendar chronographs. CC
JLC Master Grand Reviel - Shot just after one of those crazy end of Feb days
Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC MASTER GRAND REVEIL - PERPETUAL ALARM The second shot a little more fun ...
That February to March transition . . .
. . . makes the all sacrifice entailed in acquiring a perpetual worth the effort. That first shot is spectacular, Bill - glad you saved it! Art
Here they come; my assortment
No Quartz today, only mechanical or perpetual motion ... A wide stylistic variety, much to my surprise. Cazalea PS - a "Smileday" is a Silberstein calendar unit of time, right? ...
Of the four (or five, counting the clock) in that image, the one I don't recall . . .
. . . is the Record. It might've been posted in the past . . . I just don't remember. The IWC, though, was one the first pieces in your collection . . . . . . that I viewed in the metal, some seven years ago. And next year, we'll get to do it all over aga...
The Calendar ala Record
Apparently it joined the fleet four years ago - maybe your memory is failing ... Even I couldn't remember using it in a photo with the IWC - but here's the evidence that I have done so! Mike ...
Actually, it's the background . . .
If rock rules, he's the Ruler . . . that does it for me ;-) . . .
just now listening to
"Tracker" (2015) the eighth solo album by Mark Knopfler... I guess I am stuck in the music and with the musicians of my younger days... Casey
My one and only
.......still very enjoyable after all these years Am considering a perpetual to join my collection---?jlc,glasshute Best henry ...
Very elegant, Henry, my friend.
As for a perpetual, you cannot go wrong between JLC and G.O. Good hunt! Best, Nicolas
Ah, I was expecting a Blancpain triple . . .
. . . to appear in this thread. Thanks, Henry!
Well, let me see, what to chip in.. Decided to illustrate a bit some JLC calendars.. HAGWE !!
Really love those Triple & Dual calendars. - Here some classics of them. Master Moon & Reverso DD, both 1984 Another angle.. With a Teardrop TD from 1943 A long standing tradition of JLC Cheers & Best ! hs ...
A longstanding tradition of JLC and . . .
. . . Omega, too. The Boys from Bienne issued a boatload of variations during their heyday. Perhaps someone will chip in with a Cosmic to complement your lovely Jaegers! Art
From reality....
To Dreams... Well, my reality is nice enough.... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2015-10-22 23:12:21 This message has been edited by amanico on 2015-10-22 23:14:14 ...
Love the way, the Extreme Lab II blends in with the colour scheme with the Volvo Logo!
This is a cool watch for sure...dreams.
Reality and dreams can keep us enjoying Life forever! How nice array you share here my dear friend...
... you can keep loving and dreaming! Have a nice week end dear Nicolas! Abrazos, Abel.
The problem is . . .
. . . I love it more! Otherwise, I'd offer to trade it for one of your lovelies ;-) . . .
