Interesting,


As I see, the "JL" logo that is represented on the dial and crowns of some watches appears first time somewhere in the 60s .
 
I was looking at some automatic memovoxes and the older ones usualy don't have this logo on the dial and their crowns are plain. The later ones have the JL logo on crowns and on the dial at 12 o'clock.

JLC logo over time

Hello, I was studying different vintage JLC watches and as I could figure out the applied JL logo appeared regularly from the 60s, older watches being signed Jaeger-LeCoultre. I'm not talking here about the LeCoultre signed watches for the US. Does anyone... 

Here you are:

30ies: 40ies: 50ies: 60ies: Seventies: The demonstration is not very conclusive about the evolution of the JLC Signature on Vintage watches... As you can see. Best, Nicolas ...  

A Jlc knowledge mine...

I'm amazed about the historical package you have Nicolas. I'll try to find a question you will have troubles to answer to :p And these pictures are cookies to me. Thanks. Cheers, Mark

Far from knowing anything, Mark. We learn everyday.

Aaaah, ok. In this case, yes. I would say around 1960.

And yes, you are speaking about the E 855. Here is mine, without the Logo, hence, a " first generation ". But if I didn't get you, it was because there was no Logo. The 12 was changed for a JL Logo, on the E 855, not on all the references. Best, Nicolas ...
