Posted by “The Dirty Dozen”… Not the movie, the watches – it’s time to show the Jaeger-LeCoultre W.W.W….
With a rough exterior as the WWW made for the British Army, its easy to mistake the Jaeger-LeCoultre as a “simple tool watch”…
The chromium plated brass case is often scratched or banged up after years of abuse in the fields…
Hard to see a link between “Horlogerie de Luxe” and this watch…
On the back we find the Broad arrow and the WWW – Watch Wrist Waterproof…
Once inside, the connection to “Horlogerie de Luxe” is evident!
The gilt movement, the Geneva bar decoration, the beautiful curves of the bridges, the refined bevels… Yes, the Calibre 479 is an absolutely stunning movement.
