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 Hydrographique et Oceanographique de la Marine Française.
So, now you know that these watches were used as Tools.
A very discrete case ( Ref 159 ), a Cal 478 and a case back which says all....
Here are the 12 and 24:
The 11:
And the 13 ( Credit picture: Artcurial, Nov 2011 ).
Not the most famous JLC, but certainly not the less interesting nor intriguing!
If you have some others to share, feel free to do so!
Best,
Nicolas
