Mint condition Jaeger LeCoultre automatic alarm watch in wonderful retro styling on the original Jaeger LeCoultre signed bracelet. Jaeger LeCoultre are one of the few elite Swiss watchmakers who manufacture their own movements in house. They are a company was established in 1833 in the Vallee de Joux watch making region of Switzerland. They are highly regarded for their quality timepieces, technical innovation, and one of the most stringent and fanatical testing centres in Switzerland. Jaeger LeCoultre have been instrumental in the development of wrist alarms, and they developed the first automatic wrist alarm 1958. This one dates from the late 1960’s to early 1970’s, which can be quite evident from the design. The design is typical of this era of wristwatch styling. It is big bold, and once regarded as kitsch when this styling went out of fashion, but now entered a new era of cool. It is a chunky stainless steel case with seconds on a silver and blue “bulls eye” style setting disc. Has a Jaeger LeCoultre wording at the 12 position, and the JL logo as an applied marker at the 9 position. The alarm itself is hand wound and set and wound by the crown at the 2 position. The alarm set is indicated by the blue pointer on the inner setting disk. The crown at the 4 position sets the hands and the date – the date is quick set by advancing and regressing past the 12 position. The alarm works on cue and is a good resonating sound. There is no alarm sound like that of a wrist alarm – which is quirky and practical. Comes on the original signed Jaeger LeCoultre bracelet and has two original Jaeger LeCoultre setting crowns. UK retail price for a modern Jaeger le Coultre alarm is £3,395 or US $5,430. Dimensions are: width 39 excluding crown, 41 mm including crown and pushers, lug to lug 468 mm, thickness 12 mm.

Le Coultre Recital - 8 Day Travel Alarm Clock
|
Jaeger Le Coultre travel alarm clock. Jaeger le Coultre are one of the few elite Swiss watchmakers who manufacture their own movements in house. They are a company was established in 1833 in the Vallee de Joux watch making region of Switzerland. They are highly regarded for their quality timepieces, technical innovation, and one of the most stringent and fanatical testing centres in Switzerland. Jaeger Le Coultre have been instrumental in the development of wrist alarms, and they developed the first automatic wrist alarm 1958. Today Jaeger Le Coultre clocks and watches cannot be bought from new for less than around £2,000. This one is an Excellent condition travel alarm clock with clever design. Usually the alarm will activate every 12 hours, so if set to 8 am, it will also activate at 8 pm. This one however will only activate once every 24 hours. If set to 8 am, it wont go off at 8 pm as the alarm setting mechanism is a 24 hour device. The clock is an 8 day clock so lasts over a week on a single wind. There is also plenty of wind in the alarm as well. When the alarm goes off a small button on the side of the case stops the alarm. One single push stops it but you don’t have to re-set it to reactivate the alarm like you do on most other alarm clocks. This again is another ingenious device. In addition the hands will tell you if it is day or night as there is a very subtle indicator at the centre of the hands which turn black for height and white for day. We all know when it is night or day, but this is to show you that the hands are in correct synchronisation with the alarm, so if it is set to 8 pm you are sure it is 8 pm because the black part tells you so – very clever indeed. . The case is brass and the case is read leather in mint and barely used condition. The movement makes a lovely smooth ticking noise and the winding action of the movement and the alarm is also silky smooth, which is unlike on some cheaper clocks which have a rough rasp winding and grating ticking noise. Has an attractive art deco looking dial with alarm activation indicator in the aperture in the upper centre, pearl silver dial and acrylic crystal. These watches were once very popular with travellers and holiday makers. They are small and compact and fold up inside their own leather covered steel cases to protect them whilst in transit. They fit neatly into the pocket and the traveller can tell the time by taking it from a pocket. Once at the destination the traveller, could permanently have the watch by their bedside or on the night table.

This is a beautifully engineered and crafted wristwatch which has got one of the finest calendar movements in it. With Master control, watch making pioneer, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a new standard of reliability in Swiss watch making. Each watch is therefore subjected to a rigorous testing programme. Before being passed as a Master Control watch, each timepiece must undergo 1,000 hours of the most severe tests. This testing programme is more demanding than the official tests which only involve the watch movement. At Jaeger-LeCoultre it is the finished cased up watch, complete with hands and dial that is evaluated. The Master Control watch has spent 1,000 hours under observation in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s laboratories and has passed all the six position performance trials under temperatures between 4 and 40 degrees Celsius and within magnetic fields of 5,000 amperes/metre. The timepiece has also been subjected to shock and vibration resistance tests and the case withstood water resistance to a pressure of 5 atmospheres. Successful results in all of these tests give the watch the exclusive right to bear the title of “Master Control 1000 Hours”, certified by the signature of the watchmaker – inspector inside the case, and by the numbered seal engraved on the back of the watch. It is a perpetual calendar which means that there is no need for a date correction at the end of each month apart from leap years as the watch know when a month ends on the 30th or 31st days. It also has day, date, month, year and moon phase display. Another clever feature is the window just above the centre of the dial. It alternates between red and white. When showing red, the hands cannot be moved backwards when adjusting the time. When shown white the hands can be moved backwards to adjust the time. The case is solid 18 karat gold with a sapphire crystal front and sapphire crystal back which displays the beautifully decorated movement. It is 5 ATM water resistant.

The case is metal and covered in leather, the leather is worn in parts and a top layer peeled off to the right side of the case.

It is very Art Deco in looks and indeed dates to this period, which is the 1930’s. The numbers are Art Deco in style and so are the hands, the hands are attravive blued steel which contrasts nicely against the copper dial. The movement makes a lovely smooth ticking noise and the winding action of the movement and the alarm is also silky smooth, which is unlike on some cheaper clocks which have a rough rasp winding and grating ticking noise.
