Jaeger-LeCoultre Ados travel clock with a mechanical hand-wound movement and a two-day power reserve, housed in a folding brown leather case in Art Déco / Mid-Century style, made in Vallée de Joux, Switzerland, circa 1950–1960.
Description from the seller
Vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre travel watch/alarm clock, dating roughly to the 1950s. A true piece of Swiss haute horology history, perfect for collectors or as a refined decorative object for desks and nightstands.
Main features:
• Manufacture: Jaeger-LeCoultre
• Style: Vintage design with an Art Deco / Mid-Century transition.
• Case: Foldable rectangular structure with adjustable position, wrapped in brown leather with a fine ribbed texture. The case opens to act as a stand and closes completely like a wallet to protect the dial.
• Dial: Light cream color with a square brass inner bezel. Gold-applied Arabic numerals (3, 6, 9, 12) alternating with baton markers. Minute markers on a fine track.
• Hands: Dauphine-style hour and minute hands with vintage luminescent inserts + a third hand for setting the alarm.
• Movement: Manual-wind mechanical. The dial bears the calibre indication with a two-day power reserve (the number 2 circled above 6 o'clock).
Condition:
The item presents in very good vintage condition and is completely original. The leather and the case show a beautiful patina of time with minor signs of wear that attest to its authenticity and history. Dial clean and graphics perfectly legible.
