A Funky 70’s Roll Call – who’s in?!
Hello everybody!
Over at the JLC forum we have been discussing a lot about funky watches from the 70’s.
Mostly Memovox but others as well.
I guess I am somewhat guilty of raising the topic over and over again…
Can’t help myself – love these big and bulky ladies!
Now I thought it would be interesting to see other Funky watches because I know JLC was not the only one doing these oddly shaped watches.
So who’s in?!
Big or small, round or square, b/w or colours, JLC or …
Please join in!
I will get the ball rolling with what I think is the most Funky LeCoultre from that time:
Ref 3072 with original bracelet.

OK, one more!
A JLC Master Mariner Ref 563-42 from the beginning of the 70’s.
This is a big chunk of metal…

This one is the king of funky
But I love this squareness.
Cheers
Which sums up the Geometry lessons... :)))
Best,
Nicolas.

A chunk of steel…
Including everything except triangles…
Happy vacation, my fiend!

I'm sure we can try to find triangles on it, it is just a question of conviction. :) [nt]
Here we go ...
A Master Quartz
This Omega is not mine (I'm not that crazy), but I consider this to be uber funky:
Cheers
Yes, the last one is a bit crazy!
But to be honest I had one of these (not Omega) when I was young…
Your photos are stunning, my friend!
Wish my E 871 came out that good in pics…
After seeing your Maser Quarts I start to wonder if maybe I must get me one of these?!
Thank you for joining, Nilo!

I wish I had one to share! Love this genre, especially . . .
. . . with a scalloped case design, and round dial set within a blended square .
Utterly funky!
Never seen that version before!
Very cool – very funky!
Great photo!
Typical Omega hands from the 70’s.
Hope to see some Dynamic here…
Thank you for joining, Art!

The photo of the Seamaster ref 176.005 is from the Omegamania catalog . . .
Thanks - but we're missing the Omega super funk
Not a Memovox, but still a funky ringer
Cheers
Metallic chocolate! :)
Looks great!
JML, after seeing your Bellmatic I had to dig a bit in the subject…
And came up with this one!
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
Best
Blomman
Looks cool
Well, I think I will not go as deep…
Thank you, JML!
Well, I think I will not go as deep…
With the Bellmatic as the Memovox…
All the Memos give me more then enough headache!
