THE STORY
Not all firms in the watchmaking field have been able to stand the test of time quite like Jaeger-leCoultre, also known as the "watchmaker's watchmaker". Founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre and originally named only LeCoultre, the company provided watchmaking's top brands, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, the high-grade, unfinished movements with which they completed their watches.
In the early 1900s, Cartier's watch supplier Edmond Jaeger sought out Antoine LeCoultre's help in creating the wotld's thinnest watches. The collaboration resulted in the manufacturing of Cartier's earliest Tank and Santos watches, all housed with LeCoultre movements. The team decided to merge in 1937, and the firm officially became the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand by which collectors know it today. Some of the firm's most significant and important timepieces include the Reverso, the Ados travel clock, the Memovox, the Atmos clock and, among modern watches, their Master Complications.
THE DATA
THE IMPORTANT DETAILS
This wristwatch is in overall very good condition. This is a great timepiece, stylish, refined and with a lot of personality. The design is timeless, a classical.
The 18k Gold hallmarks on the outside of the case the inside markings are still very sharp and and the ref. number punched on the lug aswell.
The movement shows no rust, oxydation or else, too bad that they were not making transparent back covers in 1943, it's such a beauty !
This timepiece has a very nice presence on the wrist with it's 36mm case, considered as 'Oversized' at the time.
It can be worn daily and of course for more formal events.
