From that moment on, many other innovations came and in 1884 he added another milestone on the horology highway with the creation of the first instrument to measure the micron and in four years, he would have received awards at the inaugural Universal Exhibition in London for his breakthrough work on a lever-winding mechanism. The field of chronographs was widely explored by Jaeger in the past and recent years giving birth to some very interesting and nice models such as the present steel lot. Coming directly from the late ’60s, this chronograph is definitely well preserved with a beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre Bracelet with big rectangular links fully elaborated. The case is composed of only two pieces with screw down back with very deep case numbers, inclined bezel and lapidated lugs. The original dial is in minty conditions with outer tachymeter scale in light-blue and Arabic and luminous dot for the hours indexes. Its silver background is simply perfect and fascinating with the sunken 3 subsidiary dials. This chronograph has a manual winding movement caliber Valjoux 72. Very nice and beautiful, this watch is a fresh example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s chronographs. Estimate € 2000 - 4000, NO RESERVE
