Vintage 18 carat gold back wind Jaeger LeCoultre watch

Jaeger Le Coultre has remained a world leader in watches thanks to incredible innovations such as the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso and the incredible Jaeger LeCoutlre Atmos clock which is powered by atmospheric temperature, and here is not only a very elegant watch, but one that has both the time set and wound via the crown under the watch case, which is known as a back-wind watch.

Made in the 1950's, this beautiful watch was made in 18 carat yellow gold and was designed with the most beautiful and elegant bracelet in a plaited design that not only looks so beautiful, but also wraps around the wrist with such a wonderful tactile feel to it. Measuring 17cm from end to end, this is such a comfortable watch to wear all the time, and is as much a bracelet as it is a watch.

The dial itself measures 11.2mm across and the section where the watch is set measures 23mm across, and the dial is very elegant with simple index markers as well as the 3, 6 and 9 numbers.

Turning the watch over reveals its true amazing feature - the crown to wind and set the watch. Being back wind allows for the crown to not interfere with the design of the watch and allows the plaited design to go around the outside of the watch without any interference to the style.

The movement has been completely serviced and comes with our twelve month warranty and there is little doubt that when this beautiful watch is worn, it will always get the admiration that it deserves.

A brief history on Jaeger LeCoultre:

Founded in 1833 in Le Sentier, Switzerland by Antoine LeCoultre in 1833, Jaeger LeCoultre has literally designed and manufactured hundreds of inventions and over a thousand calibres. These include inventions and innovations such as the calibre 145 which is the world's smallest calibre that was designed in 1907, the Jaeger LeCoultre back wind Futurematic and Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox. They also invented the Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos which gets its power from temperature and atmospheric changes, and the iconic Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso in 1931 and much earlier the keyless watch in 1847.
