Post #29 My Jaeger leCoultres

Admirable JLC collection! Very, very nice. You don't shy away from a complication or two, do you ;-) ? I like that they are visibly worn, i.e. used as intended. And I wondered: what kind of service interval (if any) do you have on them?

Very,very nice.

Makes one wonder what the other 95 timepieces are.

Nice collection, the book's a nice touch too

If you don't already own a copy I would recommend this book.

If you’re ever feeling philanthropic you can send one my way. Beautiful collection.

I envy this collection

I’m a fan of JLC. I have two so I’m far behind you. That is a stunning set of watches👌

Thank you! Yes, I do wear them but I am a bit more careful with the Grand Reveil. It’s big and heavy and tends to bang in to the wall etc. OH every 7 to 8 years. 4 of them have been serviced via JLC Japan quite recently, and are in good shape. I have the Ultra Slim waiting for a long awaited service. The only and very important problem being the fees😔. Because of the perpetual calendar mechanism it will be sent to Switzerland.

The 4 are in pretty good shape.

The Ultra Slim is not.

Thank you! You can see them all when I cross the 120 WRUW mark (I’ve introduced 91 separate pieces over 100 posts). As I said, mine is a hodgepodge collection. A result of a lengthy process of unorganized collecting of mechanical/quartz, Japanese/Swiss, relatively expensive/cheap/free etc..

Thank you! The book was a “little gift” from a retailer, weighing about 3 kg .

It’s actually a “Japanese Edition”.

Thank you! Looks very interesting. I’ll try Amazon. Thanks again.

Thank you!! I have a feeling you’ll overtake me sooner or later. Your collection, especially the abundance of old school Omegas etc. is awesome.

Amazing, I love that you decided to get them all with silver dials and black straps. I agree that the book is a very cool addition. I think the Perpetual Calendar is my favorite from the bunch however that Master Calendar does so much, it's so cool. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you!! Yes, SS Case/Silver Dial/Black Belt used to be my obsession. From a previous post, my Men in Black.

Consistent, I like it!

I’m very impressed on how one person can exude so much class through a watch collection.

Effortless elegance is all I see!

Thank you for the so kind compliment! I am afraid you might change your after viewing my hodgepodge collection (will complete introduction as WRUW posts of all individual pieces in two weeks or so).

Thank you! The ultra thin perpetual was a special SS edition that I just couldn’t resist.

Wow, that's an amazing collection. It certainly oozes class, and quite an achievement by itself. Very admirable indeed!

This is a beautiful collection. Some great pieces! Are they all paired with their original straps?

Thank you!! As of today 4 out of 5 are with original straps. My Master Calendar being the oldest acquisition is with its second genuine emu strap, which is near its end. But I can’t use my two spairs because of its thin lug width. The genuine strap of the Reverso Squadra needs repair and I’ve thinking about buying a replacement for a while. The Squadra is so thick it needs a special strap with plastic “spacers” and these spacers are not that durable.
