Vintage Lecoultre Cal 160 Chronometer: Beautiful and Accurate.

Absolutely magnificent

Each time I see these pictures, this is what I think. Respect.

Superb!

That's one of the many faces of Jaeger Lecoultre.

Man this is a sexy movement!

That's why I like these pocket watch movements so much.

Imagine something like this on the back of a modern watch! 👌

There was a wrist watch which had a vey nice movement in that style...

Now that is sexy! 👌

That's why I love this watch so much. Who could guess it houses such a treasure?

Never without looking inside!

Yep!

Now THAT is literally jaw dropping.

Exactly my feeling. The Jaeger Lecoultre I love.

Pure poetry

Indeed. I spent a lot of time with this one. At the point it ruined a bit the program I had at the Manufacture. ;)

Gotta love that big balance wheel : )

And these generous bevels and the shapes of the plate and bridges, these curves, the Cotes de Genève... The Swan Neck! Everything...

What a treat.

A real pleasure to share such a treasure.

The WWW was a 35 mm watch with a very interesting movement ( I posted it in this thread, above ).

Sublime indeed

Me too. All and everything is super sensual, here.

Not many JLCs have a swan neck!

No, only in a few pieces. As for the size, I would say around 50 mm?

PS: I forgot: A Swan Neck in a modern JLC...

Oh, that little one 😉 I'd like more though! Best, E.

You are so greedy!
