Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
Circa 1937
Circa 1937, the piece features a concealed dial design, where a hinged cover with rounded edges protects the silvered watch face. Beneath the cover, the dial displays gilded Arabic numerals and pointed baton indices, complemented by gilded epée hands.
The ring is powered by a 6¼’’’ rear-wound mechanical movement manufactured by LeCoultre Co. in Switzerland. This intricate caliber comprises 16 jewels, a lever escapement, and an annular balance with poising screws. The functional design includes a toothed-edge rear winder integrated into the gold ring shank, featuring a specific aperture for winding access. Measuring 18 mm by 16 mm, the ring is sized as a US 5¾ and bears various Swiss gold assay marks, including the lynx head and the Edmond Jaeger punch mark.
This exquisite object represents a fusion of fine jewelry craftsmanship and technical watchmaking innovation.
