A firework of Jaeger Lecoultre SHOM.
I had the honor to see, in my collector's life, 9 of these very rare watches. The numbers 6 / 8 / 9 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 15 / 20 and 24. All the case numbers I could observe started with 406 02x to end with 406 16x. As a reminder, SHOM stands for Service Hydr...
Ouuuuchhhh !.. Absolutely love these SHOM's .. Like their clean, but classy looks ..
.. And these splendid faces .. Simply beautiful ! One day maybe .. Best, hs
As you know, tough to find these SHOMs are....
But without patience and efforts, would it be funny? ;) Very discrete, indeed, but once on the wrist, with the good strap, it is a killing piece. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Sometimes I think, maybe just a nice E 159 ( no SHOM).. But even that has been elusive !
.. I might even look at the E159 of my wife.. as nice reminder ! .. but as I said .. Maybe one day .. There always is hope .. & coincidence .. Best, hs
A nice E 159 is indeed not easy to find in good shape.
But you will miss the weight of history the SHOM is loaded with... Best, Nicolas
Another window into the past...
... when previously I had thought only Omega had a SHOM model but looks like JLC did too! Such studied elegance in the JLC SHOM. Form + function!
There was Omega, indeed, this JLC, and a few others.
Which I don't recall for the moment. Thanks for looking, my friend. Nicolas
Definitely. I wonder how many are around, besides ours....
I secretely wished that some would appear.... Best, Nicolas
Really like this Duo - SHOM & 109 (?) - as real classics.. Sublime, but also balanced ! :)
.. as I wrote - sime comments above - this 159/ SHOM is starting to haunt me !.. - Really are looking for one since 2011 (!) - and sadly made just one big mistake to miss one by hesitation ( within a small time-window) in 2012.. Thus, still in the waiting...
