Design
- Dial and Hands
- The dial is silver-toned with two subsidiary registers positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock. Visual observation shows Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 with dot indices marking the remaining hours, surrounded by a graduated minute track and outer tachymeter and telemeter scales. The catalog notes leaf hands ('aiguilles feuilles'). The dial is signed 'JAEGER' beneath the 12 o'clock position and marked 'FAB. SUISSE' at the lower perimeter.

- Case and Exterior Construction
- The watch features a round case described in the auction catalog as 18k yellow gold (750) with stylized lugs and a stated dimension of 37 mm. In visual observation, the case is fitted with rectangular chronograph pushers flanking the winding crown. The timepiece is fitted with a light brown or yellowish scaled leather strap, as visible in the catalogue photograph.
- Movement and Catalogued Attributes
- The lot description documents a manual-winding column-wheel mechanical movement ('mouvement mécanique à roue à colonnes') and dates the piece to circa 1950. The catalog explicitly states that both the dial and movement are signed. Because movement and inner case back photographs are not included in the source, calibre designations, serial markings, and internal finishing are not recorded in this documentation.
