I think you could tell the period from its style, I've always got on with this version as intuitive to use& comfortable. When I've tried newer ones with a butterfly style I struggle somewhat - sure I'd get use it though Cheers JML

Key Points from the Discussion

Jaeger-LeCoultre has introduced a newer two-winged deployant clasp that is lauded for its robust build and tool-free removal from standard leather straps, offering enhanced versatility.
The latest JLC clasp design allows for complete, tool-free removal from both sides of the strap, further improving user convenience and strap interchangeability.
The discussion prompted fellow collectors to share images of their own Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, showcasing various models and implicitly their respective strap and clasp configurations.
