Jaeger le Coultre are one of the most famous names in watch and clock making with a history stretching back to 1833 and began making their own movements in the 1860’s. In the early 1900’s Jacques David Le Coultre joined forces with Edmond Jaeger to create Jaeger le Coultre. They are the most innovative of watchmakers starting with the famous ‘Reverso’ through to the Wrist Alarm and Memovox. Using the ‘bumper’ style automatic movement with one of the largest cases from the 1960’s (37mm excluding the crowns; the style was for 34/5mm watches) and the inner alarm dial they created a genuinely iconic piece.
This example was made in the mid to late 1960’s and is wonderfully original. The solid steel case is in excellent condition with only the most minor signs of wear – please also note the genuine ‘JL’ signed winding crowns; extremely rare. The original steel Jaeger signed dial is in overall very good condition with only some fairly minor signs of wear which are hard to see with the naked eye (the hands are original and have been refurbished by SHWR). The very high quality Jaeger signed movement is again in very good condition and has just been fully serviced by SHWR. The watch sits on a new black calf skin strap with steel non-Jaeger buckle.
This is a stunning piece and if you’d like a WhatsApp video please advise your number.
