Jaeger-LeCoultre: At ~1700€ that was quite an expensive frankenwatch

It just hammered at £1000, which, adding sales commission and VAT converts to roughly 1700€. A bit expensive for a nice movement, a weems bezel and 1 crown... Hopefully not to someone from here ;-)

Jaeger-LeCoultre: weird assembly indeed

To add to the list of 7 errors, it looks like the case is smaller than a mkVII. The bezel (which looks somewhat right) protrudes too much over the side of the case. It would catch clothes or objects and would instantly pop-off in actual military use... You can also see that the case / case lugs shou

I recently found out about the sale of this very unique collection of magnificent table clocks (mostly JaegerLeCoultre, Hermes and ATO), which was apparently amassed by a collector, and is almost silently hitting the auction block tomorrow. There are many gems, with some well known highlights of Jae

The Manufacture has produced the calibre 101 over several decades (albeit, in very very small numbers). You can still by new models equiped with this fine movement today (although none currently in the men lines)

Jaeger-LeCoultre: It was not the focus, but always part of the line

The rebirth of the reverso in the 1990s was the occasion of countless ladies versions (size and dial versions), including high end jewelry pieces (some even with the cal 101), pendant watches etc... In the early 2000s, high-end jeweled specials were still quite a thing, and in the 2010s the new rend

Jaeger-LeCoultre: jeweled ladies watches is really core to the DNA of the brand though...

Every catalog from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s was filled with ladies-special models, and marvelous bejewelled special models. numerous references, far more than what we see today. I think it is very good that they still cater to this niche of high-end luxury ladies watches using unique savoir-faires

Jaeger-LeCoultre: A very gorgeous offering indeed

This new iteration of the Pink gold / black dial Reverso looks stunning. It reminds me of my old OrDeco from the 1990s in classic size, which I still regret selling to this day... Glad to see this combo making a come back !
