Help me identify LeCoultre chronograph

1805 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Janne,

I was recently shown a LeCoultre chronograph, presumably from the 1930s (LeCoultre merged with Jaeger in 1937 and sold watches under the Jaeger-LeCoultre band from then on).

Can you help me identify this watch?

N.B.: I have seen a somewhat similar-looking LeCoultre from the 1940s on a dealer website here. However, I am puzzled by the info given because (a) that model is reported by the (commercial) seller from the 1940s (i.e., after the Jaeger-LeCoultre merger) and (b) it is said to have a Valjoux 72 movement, and I believed that LeCoultre made its own movements.

Anybody who can shed light on this would be welcome.

.....and made for the US market, hence the name "leCoultre".

The search function will find some Threads or Posts that explain the JLC/ LC thing.

Nice watch!! Have you bought it?
