Coffee table?

Dear Marv

 

These are brilliant, thanks so much for all the hard work. It puts the watches into more historical context.

 

What was your source for these and how did you go about collecting them? Were they originally used in newspapers or magazines, or perhaps on billboards or at dealers? Do JLC themselves keep an archive of advertising materials?

 

I feel a coffee table book coming on…please.

I would like to share with you some vintage ads in order to go through 40 years of Jaeger-LeCoultre history (from the late 1920s to the late 1960s). From Jaeger to Jaeger-LeCoultre At the beginning of the 20th century, Lecoultre was an established company...

just a history of JLC through ads, but an art history of graphic art in the twentieth century. Very interesting and illuminating! Many thanks for all your hard work Andrew H
