Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hello.  My wife and I picked up this Vintage hand-wound JLC produced for Hermes which I believe to be circa 1950s.  My wife loved the understated look of the clean dial and small case (approximately 14 mm) and I found interesting the placement of the crown.  Can anyone tell me more about this movement or the watch in general?  Here are a few pictures I took this morning:

Best,

In Paris or in Italy?

Your watch looks like a very nice Duoplan.

Congrats!

JLC made these watches for a very long time (mid- 1920 to mid-1960).

The very early watches were mostly rectangular.

From the shape of hands and index a qualified guess would be between - end of 1940’s to early 1950’s.

Here are a few examples;

1935

 

1949

 

Ad with both JLC and Hermes from 1949…

 

In the mid 1950’s JLC changed to mostly use hands to spade hands.

1956

 

Hope this helps.

That helps very much and I appreciate the all the photos.  And to answer Grigo's earlier question, I picked it up this weekend in Paris.
