The history of this Jaeger-LeCoultre Classique
The Vallée de Joux-based manufacture has stood the test of time with its renowned technical consistency. In the 1980s and 1990s, the watchmaking industry began incorporating electromechanical calibres. Jaeger-LeCoultre adopted this technology for its traditional cases. The dial features a solitary letter ‘Q’ at 6 o’clock. This typographical choice indicates the presence of a quartz movement. Reference 140.037.1 combines electronic precision with yellow gold. This watch meets the expectations of customers seeking a slim design without the need for regular winding.
Case, calibre and strap of this Classique
The watch is housed in a 28 mm round case crafted from 750 yellow gold. This size ensures a discreet fit. The polished bezel surrounds a flat sapphire crystal protecting a matt white dial. The time is indicated by two black hands sweeping across slender Roman numerals. A peripheral railway track frames the display. The solid case back features a regular straight-grained finish. A in-house quartz movement keeps time. The watch comes with a new textured black leather strap fastened by a yellow gold pin buckle featuring the embossed logo.
Why choose this Jaeger-LeCoultre watch
