    Thank you! I first started collecting Hamilton Electrics and then vintage Hamilton watches. After that the rabbit hole of watches in general.

    Thank you. This watch is from the late 1960s or early 1970s and has a Valjoux 72 movement. LeJour is connected to Yema watches and JP Pingouin. The story I was told by my watchmaker is that the Le Jour name was used for imports in the US because it sounded fancier and most of their watches were made in France. From what I understand, these watches were aimed at people who wanted a Heuer, Rolex, Brietling, etc but at a more affordable price.

    You'll need the matching car, preferably a V-12... :^)
