Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hi everyone. I am an excited new JLC collector. Although I have a number of other fine, I just purchased a Reverso Grand Duodate 986 in November and just got my "Tribute to Polaris" yesterday. These are both exceptional timepieces!!

I have collected vintage watches and fountain pens for many years. Probably about 15 years ago I was at a pen convention in Miami. Many watches are displayed, discussed, and sold along with the pens. A collector walked in with the most incredible watch on his wrist. I had found and possessed several Memovox's in my collecting experience, but this was the big daddy of them all. It was hugh, and beautiful and stunning. it also was on a metal band. I asked Matt "how much for the watch?". He said, " It is not for sale." I asked "Name your price, maistro!"  Matt said; "I don't want to sell it. I probably won't find another one"  The watch was an unforgettable timeiece.

I have always lusted for that piece, and now finally have the priviledge of owning it and wearing it on my wrist! Wow! The Grand Reverso is also a stunning piece!

Nichole, have we receive any possibility of JLC re-issuing a dial for the Polaris with all the indexes illuminated as they di with the very first dials and the advertisements?

No message body

First of all, thank you for such a great introduction!

The story behind your Polaris is great, and we all experimented something special with this watch.

A friend, a souvenir, the shock of the first meeting in the flesh, there is always something which " shocked " us, with the Polaris.

Now that you own a round and a rectangular watch, you're in the heart of the JLC phenomenon.



As for the Polaris dial, I'm sorry to say that it won't be possible to get an all luminous dial.

Nothing will change, on this topic.

But we also have the insurance that no other Polaris 68 nor 65 will be made...

Looking forward to hear more from you,

Very best,

Nicolas

Congratulations!  May we see some pictures of your JLC family????

Here is a picture of my three newest watches. All from Christmas and after. And my wife loves them too! I am most fortunate!!! (Actually, I but her watches too. I bought her a Breitling for Christmas.)

 First, my Breitling B01 black-eye-blue dial:

 

Then my Tribute to Polaris. I am crazy about this watch:

Welcome Bruce,

I am also a new member who, after months of search, found my Polaris Tribute 68 weeks back.  Since then, I have not been able to keep it off my eyes every night.  It exudes such warm and elegance that not many watch can replicate.

Was very glad that they will keep this as a unique re-edition.

Don't forget to make your roll call at the Polaris thread....Roger from 178.

Roger, help me understand the "Roll Call" you mentioned.

Come in here and add your piece to the rest....if you have not already done that.

Actually, the original Roll Call is another link.

I gave it to our friend.

I will have to actualize it, one day...

Best, and thanks for this excellent idea, my friend.

Best

Myself!

The Polaris Roll Call is a thread we created some months ago, to " register " in a certain way all the Polaris here, on our forum.

Here's the original link:

jlc.watchprosite.com

Roger ( Democritus ) gave you a link aboiut another roll call, which is also fine, but the original is in the link I gave you here.

Please go and register!

Best,

Nicolas

Dear Nic,

My name is Chris, not Roger.  In any case, many people call me demo.

Good to point out the original link.  I can go there and sign on too.

Thanks!

In a few weeks, I will stick this thread to allow all the new Polaris Owners to attend...

It is and will be the most important Polaris Roll Call in the world!

Best,

Nicolas
