Great combination of watches and "papers" smile

I have a humble collection of JLC alarms: Grande Memovox, and black Memovox 914. My dream would be a platinum Compressor Memovox!

Obsession continues… should I be alarmed?

By now you are probably feed up with all my posts about the watches and clocks from this document: Ref E 168 and Ref 3161. Ref 70 Ref 69 Ref 3157 There is another alarm in this document. A Worldtime – Réveil Heures Internationales… The Ref 64! When you wa...  

Obsession understandable .. Reveil WT intro was pleasure !

He, Blomman ! Be assured: - never enough of your revisits and additions to this amazing catalog ! - As mentioned some time before, already the re-start with Geophysic and the MMV Parking always make a nice entry. And then .. The instruments .. Next the tr... 

Thank you, HS!

Thank you for your kind words, HS! You know, to write these posts is a way for me to learn as well! All these documents are great source of information. Happy Easter! Best Blomman

Great catch, my friend.

The Jubilé Thema is also about Diversification. This one is a superb traveller clock. I'm impressed, really. Best, Nicolas.

Indeed, diversity!

So many different things to discover! Still miss one wrist alarm + the wrist WT… And some alarm clocks! A long exploring journey! Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman

You want to play this game? Ok... Here you are.

I'm currently hunting a Deep Sea Alarm US ( Vintage ), a Ref 3072, a E 858, a 11005, a E 502, a Mystery / Galaxy dial, a Lecoultre Master Mariner Chronometer, a Geophysic in RG, a Memo WT Ref 3160, a E 855 Blue dial, a Triple Date moonphase, a Reverso 193... 

Oh, I talked only about this document/year…

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 22nd, 2011-14:11
And only alarm watches/clocks! But if we talk JLC in general: With very few exceptions, take your list and add at least 15-20 more… And that’s only the wrist watches, as I hunt clocks, ads, boxes, straps, bracelets, buckles, documents… What can I say – it... 

Well, you are probably right…

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 23rd, 2011-12:08
But I will try anyway! Will post something about a clock we not often see here soon… Best, my friend Blomman

No limits !? .. Zones on top have thin air .. But joy en route ?!

 
 By: hs111 : April 22nd, 2011-14:39
What is this ? .. Pas de deux ? .. Vlad & his merry men ? - OMG, what a list !.. - What are then the journeys for more mundane followers ? Realize, there always will be a next summit .. - early on this road, lucky maybe.. Best, hs

Hence the necessity to reduce it a bit... Well,.... A lot. :)

Jules Vernes did his Tour Du Monde in 80 days, I want to make my own Tour du Vintage JLC in 35, 40 pieces maximum. Best, my friend. Nicolas.

Very nice indeed.

Blomman, that's a fine collection of clocks, and lovely pics too. Hope you find more to add to the family.

Hi Davo!

I have no less than 15 vintage clocks (plus other old furniture) in my office until my clients thought that it is an antique shop. Keep it growing. Regards Ling

15?! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 23rd, 2011-12:10

 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 23rd, 2011-12:16
I am more in the line of stubborn and pigheaded…! Well, I can be very focused sometimes… But then Vlad dangles something beautiful in front of me and I stray… Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

Lovely post

Great combination of watches and "papers" I have a humble collection of JLC alarms: Grande Memovox, and black Memovox 914. My dream would be a platinum Compressor Memovox!

Nice combo, Wisemoth!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 23rd, 2011-12:23
A little bit of David and Goliath, Big vs Small! Any photos to share? The Master compressor Memovox in PL? Yes, that is a beauty! Me, I use the SS as a daily beater! Just love it! Thank you for your kind comments! Best Blomman

Some additional info on the WT.

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 23rd, 2011-12:30
I forgot to post a document I have on the Ref 64: Funny, the document says: unbreakable crystal. Not true! Best Blomman...  

All marketing – not true?!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 23rd, 2011-12:47
That was news for me! :: )) Thank you, Nicolas. Actually the document is a small catalogue clocks only! Best Blomman

I think that it is a fine obsession.

 
 By: grigo : April 24th, 2011-00:20
Nothing wrong with you at all. Actually in some parts of the world I hear that people call this a hobby. Happy Easter. Best regards, George

Happy Easter, George!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 24th, 2011-11:37
Hobby, yes! LOL But sometimes it feels like it’s a borderline between hobby and obsession… Thank you for your encouragement! Best Blomman

obsession continues... why not?!

 
 By: FanFrancisco : April 24th, 2011-01:50
