Why James Bond's watch could have been a JLC!
Today is the
day for the launch of the new Bond movie, you know that !
This time James
doesn't get a brand new AM. The last James Bond girl would be hard, if
possible, to beat!
What I've
read bout the movie is not very positive! I'm still planning to go and
see it.
What could save
the movie, if necessary?
Maybe a real
watch!
Mr Bond, when
did you wear a real watch for the last time?
Of course you
don't get a new car, but you have a so excellent one……
I'm even
sure you have a few to choose from! Can you choose your watch too? Are there
real choices?
What about
taking some time to investigate about this secret company called
Jaeger-LeCoutre?
They have some
intriguing secrets to share. You may be surprised by some of their talents!
You could begin
and take it easy, with a brand new titanium Polo Fields, specially adapted to a
rider like you!
Its black style
would suit perfectly your night dress.
Of course you're
entitled to find it too square for a rounded mind like yours. Take some time to
investigate more and find another option.
You dive, don't
you?
How deep are
you ready to go?
You may not be
able to follow your diving watch deep enough, but it will follow you
everywhere. It's a GMT watch you know, so you can take it around the
globe.
OK I have
selected a last choice, in case you find the former one a bit too casual, if
not too toolish!
Let me say that
for this one you'll have to run, it won't be easy, even for you!
The watch comes
from a time when you were trying your first Aston!
No not the DBS
James, not the Vanquish, neither the V8, try to remember, the DB5!
THE watch would
be perfect for you, not just because it's beautiful, waterproof, formal
but humble!
It would be
perfect because it has an alarm and you spend so much time in bed, lazy you!
I wish you good
luck but at least this time I'll get it before you!
James, let us
know how they work in your real life, we can't wait!
See you
Dje
Post Scriptum:
if someone has another idea, another watch to present to James, don't
hesitate!
Perfect J. BOND JLC Watch?
This one, maybe, for its innovative presentation of the Chrono?
This one because of its class?
Or this one because it belonged to the RAF???
Or this Beautiful Deep Sea Alarm?
Well, indeed, J.BOND has a wide choice between all these marvels!
Best!
Nicolas
Great thoughts - and pictures...
-Dean
Nice proposition
The Reverso Grande GMT could indeed be a very good choice for a frequent traveler like him!
And it would indeed be a classy dressed watch too!
A double faced watch for a doubled faced man!
Cheers
Dje
Thanks Nicolas
Indeed James could have worn all of these, depending at what time you offered him the choice!
We have at least one in common!
Cheers

i totally agree with you
was hoping that annie lennox could do the theme song but ended up on the lap on alicia keys. Horrible song, i think casino royale had a powerful theme song.
Then the aston martin DBS was released and that cool transponder watch outdid the ubiquitous seamaster bond wears.Someone made a remark that should be bond's watch, and i totally agree.
And the car didn't change. I expected a DBS but nope. Since when did Ian Flemming ordain that bond is stuck to mass market products. Bond might as well sport mont blanc products as well.
I was reading the "quantum of solace" book and they did mention higher up luxury products in the stories like cartier, van cleef etc. Bond is now one class below his original class, all because of film budget.
But maybe it's just people like us, starting to outdo bond. I held bond in higher esteem.Or it's just that bond has become a marketing ploy, hero of the mid class.
Well, i'll stick to 007 books for now for bond fantasy, for the original essence of an incredible character.
I too would like to know
R=R_0*exp(B*(1/T - 1/T_0))
Where R_0 is the initial resistance at the initial temperature T_0 and B is a material-specific parameter.
I'm sure the formula comes up often when dealing with differential equations. Now my curiosity is piqued, I'd love to know what JLC book that's from.
Ceramic?
Hi, Welcome here, Firstly!
I guess it's fhe formula, as it is relative to Heat and material ???
Best!
Nicolas
You know more than me!
This formula was written on the invitation for the presentation of the Extreme Lab last year!
Of course this formula was the only information revealed about the subject of the presentation.
Perhaps the most fascinating time during my relationship with JLC.
Cheers
Dje
I totally agree with you too! :-)
Nobody from the middle class would have thought about buying something for Cartier or Vuitton at that time!
Now Omega is seen as a luxury brand and like others it indeed uses James Bond as a marketing trick! Too bad!
If only he could wear vintage watches!
A man driving a DBS could wear a current Omega, but if that was me I would choose a Central Tourbillon!
Cheers
Dje
Come on !
remember the line in Casino Royal (the novel):
He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex.

How about a compromise?
with a Pam 190?
JLC 8 days PR movement with a sexy Radiomir case courtesy of Panerai. Sounds like a winning combination to me.
All the best,
Commander Sunrise
Nice idea, El Che
LOL
Yep, a True movement in a nice case, this is a pure Panerai and a bit a JLC...
These 190 / 197 / 198 / 208 RULE!!!
Best, Commandante!
Nicolas
Que viva la revolucion!!!
LOL!!!
Now, with your permission, Nicolas, I will continue to drink my mojito and smoke my cigar, LOL!!!
Enjoy your Sunday evening.
Alejandro "Guevara" LOL!
