Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1940s.
A "bumper" is a vintage watch that has a "bumper" automatic movement rather than a full rotation rotor automatic. The oscillating weight makes a partial rotation before "bumping" into a cushioning spring.
The dial is just stunning having been fully restored, it has its original hands and crown with the JLC logo on it.
The case has been professionally polished so it is in superb condition.
The case is water resistant.
It comes complete with a high quality brown leather strap.
As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case. It comes with a brand new high quality wooden presentation box.
Jaeger-LeCoultre are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.
The watch case measures 34mm in diameter not including the crown.
Overall this watch is in wonderful condition and highly sought after by Jaeger-LeCoultre collectors indeed it looks as if it was rarely worn.
The watch has been fully serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Jaeger-LeCoultre in all respects. It has been professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.
It is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under a microscope for signs of wear, any worn parts are replaced with genuine manufacturers parts. Each part is then thoroughly cleaned in a three stage ultrasonic cleaning process.
The movement is then fully assembled using manufacturers approved oils and lubricants and is carried out in a clean room environment. The movement is then checked and adjusted for accurate time keeping. The cases are polished and sealed.
Obviously this is not a cheap or quick process which is why our watches are sometimes a little more expensive than others but you can be assured our watches will give you reliable and dependable service and will not require further service for many years.
