by Jaeger-LeCoultre
Ingeniously styled desk clock with an- tomatic calendar,
In the solitude of Switzerland's Valley of Joux, watchmaking to this day témams an art rather than an industry. i pitomising the skill of the Valley's craftsmen are the timepieces of Jaeger- 1 et nultre, famous for their precision, desired for their beauty. It is for this reason that your gift of a Jaeger-LeCoultre
timepiece says so much about your discernment, about your affection for him or her who over the years will treasure its faithful services. What better way to show how much you care!
Invisible winding- crown, in back of case, enhances sym- metry of watch.
