1960s Vintage Jaeger LeCoultre Large Size Manuel Wind Watch with Hermes Strap
Founded in 1883, Jaeger LeCoultre is a well regarded luxury watch brand. Up until the 1950s, LeCoultre was one of the prestigious brands of watches sold by the fine leather goods store Hermes. This drivers model was one that Hermes carried. This is a rare large version, and you can see it's influence in the modern Cape Cod model. Originally intended for a man, we think this would look stunning on a woman who prefers a larger watch.
Movement: High grade 17 jewel Swiss Movement calibre 818/2 is a manual wind movement signed Jaeger LeCoultre. It has been newly serviced by a master watchmaker. It runs and keeps time in good order.
Dial condition and detail: Excellent brushed gold dial has raised and inset gold markers. Newly refinished to it's original design. Slim stick hands in yellow compliment the look perfectly.
Case condition and detail: 18K yellow case in very good vintage condition. Case features an extended lug design that resembles a link frame with the crown in the 6'oclock position, a detail that Lecoultre was known for. Marked inside the case back: 0.750; 9041. Marked on the outside case back: A 1311258.

General comments: An elegant vintage watch and a great collectors piece. Ready to wear.
