Nov 25, 2010 Thanksgiving Day! Brown Leather Strap Week Watch #4 1950 Jaeger-LeCoultre with a Turler Branded Dial

Today's watch is my most prized possession. It's a 1950 Jaeger-LeCoultre with a Turler Branded Dial.

My grandfather bought this JLC from the Turler jewelry store in Switzerland in 1950. He told me it was the thinnest watch in the world when he bought it. He gave it to me 26 years ago when I was 12. Not having a clue about it, I wore daily for 10 years until the crown broke off. I really beat the crap out of it.I finally had the crown replaced a few months ago (not gen) and had the crystal polished and the dial cleaned.

This watch is powered by the JLC Cal. P480 Movement. This movement has also been used by another legendary Swiss watch maker, Vacheron Constantin.

The watch features seconds at 6 and rose gold markers on a champagne dial.

I love this watch! Hope to pass it on to my grandkid one day.

JLC needs no introduction, it's one of the best watchmakers in the world. Turler is one of the best jewelers in Switzerland.

High end watch brands will produce small batches of watches specifically for Turler to brand and sell in their shops.

My particular JLC also sports a rare 12,2,4,6,8,10 Dial with numbers and markers in Rose Gold.

I am insane... JLC NATO!
