This is the post I was waiting for some weeks, now! LOL

You offered us a marvellous trip in the Past, with all these ads.

I appreciated a lot some ads which are nothing else than pure pieces of Art and Literature.

While others are more technical, or simply horological.

This is also a good thing to not forget that JLC didn't only make watches, but worked for the Industry of Planes, and Cars.

And a good lesson with this ad from 1937, differencating Jaeger, and Jeager Lecoultre, without forgetting Lecoultre, for the USA )...

My favourites are the onesrelative to " L'Eloge du Temps ", and the others with the quotes from famous Writers...

Your post is like a catalogue, we're walking through the years, remembering all the nice and interesting watches JLC made.

You have a superb collection of ads, my friend!

Thanks a lot for your hard work in building this post of ...Anthology!

It is also saved in the right part of the screen caled " new blog post ".

Best, Christophe!

Nicolas

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...  

very nice collection, thanks
