One of the most beautiful models Jaeger LeCoultre produced in the Art Deco era, this over-sized dress watch in all stainless steel still catches ones eye 75 years later. The lines are clean and simple with a stylishly thin bezel, making the watch look even larger then you would expect. The thickness of the sides match the lugs perfectly giving a thinner overall impression. While the dial on this timepiece does show some of its age, it sill carries that unmistakable deco feel and tangible vintage look.
