Specialist note
The epitome of understated elegance, this boldly styled bracelet watch is chic as well as functional. The dial is completely invisible, cleverly concealed within the stunning thick gold bracelet. Circa 1940, it represents the mid-century style which is as wearable today as it was over 80 years ago.
The present watch is one of the rare examples signed Jaeger-LeCoultre and in addition bears Vacheron Constantin’s maltese cross emblem, a working partnership that together made some of the most spectacular time-only watches. Starting in the late 1920s, Jaeger-LeCoultre provided movements to Vacheron Constantin which were then finished, encased and distributed.
