Description from the seller
Rare LeCoultre Cufflink Watch in 14K Gold
Made in USA for the American Market. A remarkably rare and highly unusual LeCoultre cufflink watch dating to the mid-20th century.
The watch is housed in a beautifully crafted square 14K yellow gold case, signed and stamped "D&A" for DiVincenzo & Arienti. The case was made in the United States specifically for the U.S. market, an interesting detail reflecting the way Swiss LeCoultre movements were paired with locally produced cases for American distribution.
The piece features an elegant silver dial and is powered by the LeCoultre calibre 490/BW, a manual-winding mechanical movement. Measuring just 17.5 × 17.5 mm, it has a wonderfully discreet and refined presence, while the total weight is 10.4 grams.
What makes this example particularly fascinating is its cufflink configuration. It is an exceptional combination of Swiss LeCoultre watchmaking and American goldsmithing, created during an era when miniature mechanical watches were incorporated into sophisticated personal accessories.
