Love the power indicator on the Futurematic, but those lugs on the black one--really special.

as the previous family pics were way too big - and I had two more jumbo Memovoxes in my safe at home -
here are the collection pics, resized and more complete (two on the way to the Spa).

Futurematic, 1950s

Ok Fred, the ultimate question.......
If you could pick only one of the JLC, what would you choose and why ?

well, Sal, if I had to let all others of mine go, I would clearly keep one of the champagne dial
Futurematic w/ the handlebar lugs, reasons explained before, as I would still have
my Vulcain Cricket Alarm watches that actually led to the development of the Memovox.

could I choose any of the vintage JLC, I would kindly ask for a nice 59 Memovox Deep Sea.

http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/GB/en/h ... sea-1.html

what I really like about JLC is the level of respect they show for their heritage,
even tribute watches interpret the originals very well.

have a browse through other milestones, many quite nice:

There's not much left to say in admiration; everyone else has said it. But i couldn't leave the thread without saying...

it's amazing how some of the first set look so much like the current master control modles and some of the memovoxes are so similar to recent ones. Amazing stuff, Fred. Simply amazing.
