LeCoultre is my favorite brand outside of Omega. And the first totally random vintage reference that I fell in love with was the Valjoux 72-powered E335 Master Mariner. I went through four different examples until I found the right one (though "right" for me doesn't necessarily mean most correct, in this case! wrong crown and imperfect movement, butbthe dial and hands that had haunted my dreams for three years):

Here's an example I previously had that I ended up stupidly selling to a friend for wayyy too low to fund a 2446c GMT:

I was going to put this in the “other watch brand” section, but putting Jaeger LeCoultre in a sub-form showing the ETA logo just seemed wrong😲...

Often mangled, let’s start with how to pronounce the brand... I like this version, though I rarely say it aloud.


A brief history of the manufacture as told by... 😉


And some mine over the years, all vintage so far.

Phenomenal watches! Just looked at this again after recently acquiring my first LeCoultre. These are really great, love the automatic with the black dial 🥰

Some mighty fine examples!

I have an E855 like your first one, and I finally just added a ‘no date’ JLC Memo, too; ref. 3151, circa 1951.

Here’s a group shot of the JLC alarms in my collection, followed by an action video 😀:

Great collection there. That bracelet on the Euro marker E855 is a stunner!

I only own one and I think it's super-special. Just today it elicited a compliment from the cute cashier at the bagel shop. 😀

Some real beauties in this thread! Below is a Jaeger I sold earlier this year and an 8-day I still own and love.
