The Collectibles – Jaeger-LeCoultre Gets Real with Vintage

Alongside the Reverso, there are chapters on the Memovox, Futurematic and Geophysic watches. Each chapter will be an absolute must-have for all serious JLC collectors, with definitive information being shared such as the number of watches produced for each reference, movements used, case metals, dial variations and copies of historic documents from JLC’s archives. Also, much like the polo-linked Reverso’s history, each model will have a full explanation of its cultural importance and place within the watchmaking context of the time.

Now, it’s not unusual for books to be published with grand promises of offering the definitive history of a brand or its models in our horological world. Often, however, these tomes are not officially supported or even sanctioned by the brands and rely on collector-gleaned knowledge and information. That Jaeger-LeCoultre are publishing this book is a testament to its commitment to offer an extra service to its customers. The initial watches feature in the book will all be for sale and then the plan is for The Collectibles programme to be a rolling offer for customers. So, what can a customer buying a watch from JLC’s certified pre-owned service expect? Weel, it’s actually pretty impressive! Every Collectibles timepiece is presented with an extract from the Jaeger-LeCoultre archives, a new watch strap and box, a two-year warranty, and a complimentary copy of The Collectibles book. In addition, when available, the original box and papers, and original strap or bracelet will be included.
