Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Mariner

Jaeger-LeCoultre military veteran watch from the 60s-70s

Discover a fascinating piece of watch history with this Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC) military veteran watch from the 1960s-1970s. This exceptional model embodies the history and craftsmanship of JLC in a special way. In those years, JLC movements were shipped from Switzerland to the USA to serve the American market, as production capacities in Switzerland were limited.

This model was made specifically for the American market and served as a gift to military veterans in recognition of their service. The movements came from Switzerland, while the cases were made in the USA. The entire watch was then assembled in a JLC factory in the USA, giving each piece a unique story and provenance.

The watch is a true collector's item and a rare example of the marriage between Swiss watchmaking and American recognition. With its historical background and unique details, it is a sought-after piece for collectors and enthusiasts.
