Vintage JLC Anyone

I just love this watch. It is a JLC from the 1950's rose gold with a stunning dial. I would venture to say that this watch is 37-38mmm large for it's day. I acquired it from Argentina a few years ago. Had the caliber rebuilt by my local watchmaker and it is just running fantastic. He did not touch the dial or case, it is as it came to me. Such a cool style IMHO.

JLC is among one of the top watch brands to me. I have a couple of vintage pieces this being one of them and a couple of modern Reversos (TT 1931 and rose gold Duo Face). Sadly I don't warm up to some of the newer JLC offerings due to their dials. But that is just me. Still love the brand.

Beautiful watch !



I love vintage watches, but it is so hard to find them larger than 36mm.
