Very impressive watching a gentleman with SO much patience. What a beautiful mechanism. Thank for accompanying us on this journey. Merci d'avoir partagé votre savoir et votre expérience avec nous Monsieur. Salutations de la France.

Merci à vous

[@sitandfish]

I would plan a trip just to be able to use that beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

🤣

[@nickjames205]

Wow that is a surprisingly nice movement, I guess I have been underestimating some of these travel alarm clocks. But that's definitely one of the higher end ones.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

I was very surprised too. Not sure if they are all like this one and maybe some are even better

[@almancera]

Beautiful travel watch and great work. Thanks for the content.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

[@KarthusDreams]

Thank you

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

You're welcome

[@JimGlasgow-e5o]

Lovely job might suggest a leather conditioner for the case .

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

I will try it. Thank you

[@velviaman3206]

Great job, JLC top make in the 20s and 30s. I almost bought one of these at auction last year but was scared it may need a part which is no longer available

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

They are nice indeed. You are right I am not sure a lot of parts are available

[@nikolaslarson6891]

Gorgeous alarm/travel clock with crocodile lining. That definitely wasn't cheap at the time. Good that it was full of oil! Like that it has made it to our era in an impeccable state. Be very careful treating the leather lining. Old untreated leather can hide some bitter surprises.

JLC is a fabulous brand. Excellent clean. Looks like car grease inside the barrel.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes it was very bad 🤣

[@IMakeWatches]

Radium-226 with a half life of 1600 years?

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

????

[@IMakeWatches]

@@FrenchWatchCollector I was just answering the question of the video title with a question. 😂😂😂Did you check the lume paint on the hands and dial for radioactivity? That would be an unpleasant surprise!

[@hotoifilm]

lol yeah that’s totally radium lume. Lots of it too, I would’ve had gloves and a mask on while servicing. That dial easily could reach 100,000 CPM

[@frodriguezpc]

@@FrenchWatchCollectortake care with this my friend. Radium is no joke.

[@BradyBegeman]

@@hotoifilmI don’t think it is. I think the radium lume was removed long ago in the past and replaced probably in the 70s (?). If it wasn’t it would be all chalky and powdery and flaking off the dial and hands. It’s well formed, stable, and pale in color. There would also be more damage to the dial and hands like discoloration of the pigments in the dial enamel.

[@momiland7673]

Lots of oil! It looks like a salad!😅

[@FrenchWatchCollector]
