Known for being one the most important Swiss movement manufacturers of all time, with pioneer Antoine LeCoultre in the front, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been creating jaw dropping watches for nearly two centuries. One of those watches is this golden “jumbo” chronograph from the early 1950s., meticulously crafted in an 18ct yellow gold case with an Officers case design, taking architecture from pocket watches. The manual wind chronograph movement is based on the Universal Geneve cal. 287 with a column wheel, also found in their collectable Tri-Compax watches. The watch was originally made for the French market, hence the dial only signed “Jaeger”, making it further rare.
