JLC Earth Globe Mappemonde, Ref 163.
Among the Vintage JLC World, we can find some nice treasures. Undisputably, the Earth Globe ( Ref 163 ) belongs to this category. A piece of History, with some countries whose names changed, and of poetry, like an astronomical watch or clock, but backward...
It never ceases to amaze me to see some of Jaeger's historic creations.
This is absolutely amazing - and so much an object of its time. Fantastic - thanks Nico.

It would be great to see JLC revisiting some of this stuff, indeed.
There were many clocks and instruments which were great . I will post some, from time to time. Thanks for your feedback, my friend. Best, Nicolas
What a superb object...
