A spectacularly charismatic Jaeger-LeCoultre from the 1950s, distinguished by its playful Art Deco-inspired lugs. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the petite round case is fitted with fully articulated screw-mounted lugs that pivot freely, allowing the watch to drape naturally around the wrist while adding an almost theatrical whimsy to the design.

The softly aged silvered dial is adorned with faceted applied hour markers, oversized Arabic numerals at 12 and 6, and matching dauphine hands. A generously sized crown sits partially recessed into the case, preserving the compact proportions. Powered by a manual wind movement, the watch is fitted with a custom-made purple Swift leather strap.

Sweet, unusual, and wonderfully comfortable, this is a small watch with far more presence than its dimensions suggest.

7 mm thick case.

Small wear shown, shows prior gold testing and small wear at swivel sites.
