Jaeger LeCoultre Rectangular Black 1940s

Art Deco Sophistication — A rare vintage gem beyond the Reverso.

While Jaeger-LeCoultre is often synonymous with the Reverso, vintage collectors know the maison holds more secrets. This elegant rectangular steel piece from the 1940s is one such discovery — a black gilt dial masterpiece set within a beautifully proportioned Art Deco tank case.

The original glossy black gilt dial with golden sword hands gleams with quiet distinction. Paired with an original JLC leather strap and buckle, the watch exudes timeless class. The manually wound in-house movement has been professionally serviced, ready for everyday elegance or the next black-tie affair.

This is more than a timepiece — it's a slice of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s lesser-known legacy.
