Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hello everybody! Here is another old JLC catalogue. This is from 1966. Best, Blomman...  

the rest of the offering looks somewhat "generic," don't you agree? Oh, and the Memovoxes, of course are nice. -Dean

I had hopes to see the Polaris 65 in there… These feel more “mainstream”. Best Blomman

I wonder if that model ever made it to the main catalogue (although we have seen ad photos from the period) -- it was made in pretty small numbers even then, right? respo

And, as an extra bonus... Xmas in Summer? Here you go: Best, Santa Claus....  

Can we still order from that catalogue? ;-) respo

Wow, great stuff! Interesting to see the Pola 65 with pointed hands like the DSA! Big thank you, Nicolas! Best Blomman

Alarm dots... My pleasure, Blomman. My HD is not that messy, after all. Best, Nicolas

And also that it only says “Automatic” and not “Alarm" or "Calendar”. An early version? Best Blomman

Introduced in the catalogue in 1966, it was in reality released in a very few numbers in 1967 ( 6 or 7 pieces ). So, there are very few chances we see one in real! Best, Nicolas

I got this information from the Heritage Gallery archives. Best, Nicolas

Will try to post some extracts from the '66 Collection if I find it in my mess... But nice to see these old ladies! Can you make some closer scans of the pages 12, 14 and 15??? I have something to check... Best! Nicolas

None of the sports watches are included in this catalogue; maybe you have some documents about them? I will try to do better scans when I come home. Best Blomman

I'm pretty sure I saw something interesting in my stock of pics... Aaah, by the way, stay tuned, I will post something exciting very soon.... Best, Nicolas

I zoomed in only on the watches, please let me know if you need more… Best Blomman...  

Several useful informations, about the buckle on the E 393, the shape of the tritium on the E 855 hands, and 4411 and the 1947, too. There is one missing, when it comes to very dressy watches... Surprise, surprise... Best, and huge thanks for your time an... 

Please let me know if there are more scans you need. Best Blomman

Something I have to hunt... Soemthing else! This will never end, I fear... Best, Nicolas

Thanks for the pics blomman! It's always nice to see these old brochures. -MW

Yes, it’s always interesting to see the brands history! To “know” how their watches developed into what they are today! Best Blomman

...the street lamp clock on p. 24? i think my parents had one of these, buyt i wonder if this was a common design among a number of manufactures, not just MJLC. I wonder if my folks still have this clock...? I will have to check. I like this design very m... 

I know several for sale, here in France. Quite easy to find, my friend. Best, Nicolas

...or did other manufactures make them as well? I need to ask my parents what happened to theirs before I start looking for another one. respo

Not only Rue de la Paix, but several others. Now, I don't know if other brands released such clocks. Best, Nicolas.

I may get back to you to ask about where to find one, Santa. respo

I have seen Gold, Black and Green. All have 8 days movements. The one in the catalogue also have an alarm! Mine doesn’t… But a nice addition to have on your desk There are and also several different street names. But the “Rue De La Paix” is the most commo...  

But I am not sure if it is JLC or not. Wow! an 8-day movement, potentially with an alarm...awesome! This would be very nice to have on my desk. I can't believe (or rather, I can) that yoiu have one of thgese as well, Blomman. Yo are too much. Thanks for t... 

Now you are entering Vintage land...!!! Best Blomman

I am a sad and pitiful case. respo

With a stunning collection as yours?! Don’t think so! Best, my "pitful" friend Blomman

Blomman, you got another catalogue again, can't believe my eye. this one looks very mint. where did you get this good stuff. by the way, thanks so much for sharing. stefan

Sometimes I get lucky and pick up some good stuff! Unfortunately most of the times, I miss… Stefan – one more to come! Best Blomman
