The Last and the First
Just arrived today, so It's the last and the first vintage watch for me this and the next year.
LeCoultre Baron (from the US market ofcourse)
"Pomp and circumstance" equal Fashion and Precision in watches for Him and Her in LeCoultre exceptional manner. Gold-filled cases. Each 71.50
This is an adv from 1952 Christmass.
The man version with sub second, circa 26 mm diamater. The ladies without sub second, with 16 mm size. They are really tiny watches. Especially in today's trend.
The shape of the case and crytal plexy very fancy.
I saw two different dial version from authentic source.
This one with numeral indexes and strange lines between the dot indexes.
Another way, without numeral indexes, lines and dots.
Both exist with white and black dial.
Let's see what we have !
Comes from 1953, with the second dial variation in black. Yellow gold filled case, cal.480.
Cased and Timed in USA by LeCoultre markings and a serial number.
The cal.480
Common mens movement. Just few examples for the US market modells with this :
Pershing, Beau Brummel, Galaxy/Mysery, General Pershing, Top Hat, Coronet, Bottle Cap, Westminsterm Beaux Art, Bradley II ...
...and finally a wristshot
Happy New Year My Friend !

It makes me think of a kind of
Assymetric Cioccolatone!
You should consider posting a kind of Photo Essay on this one, Milan...
Thanks, once again.

Cioccolatone
Yes, cioccolatone or square case is not a strange thing, but with assymetric design, It's really special.
This is why like the US market JLC watches, the colorfull design.
Cheers, Milan
