Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.
It will be carefully packed.

Thanks for looking!

Jaeger-LeCoultre founded in 1833 when Antoine LeCoultre set up his eponymous watchmaking workshop. He was a skilled craftsman and soon invented industry-leading precision tools that enabled LeCoultre to develop miniature watch components. LeCoultre is an industry insider’s favourite, admired for its technical prowess and commitment to advanced in-house watchmaking. In 1851, at the Universal Exhibition in London, LeCoultre won a gold award for its innovative keyless winding system.
Since 1833, LeCoultre has been making cutting edge movements and mechanical timepieces for men and women. Its many contributions to watchmaking over the years include the smallest calibre ever made, the most complicated wristwatch and a near-perpetual movement. Over time it has provided movements for Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin and many other major brands. Its most famous creation, the Reverso, is widely considered one of the great watches of the twentieth century.
In 1903, LeCoultre answered French watchmaker, Edmond Jaeger’s industry-wide challenge to produce his slim-line movement designs. The result was the thinnest watch movement in the world and the start of a collaboration that would culminate in the birth of Jaeger-LeCoultre 30 years later.
Pre-owned Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are highly sought-after for their excellent quality and investment value.
