About the Item

A beautiful and functional midcentury leather folding eight day travel clock by Jaeger LeCoultre, Model Number 1362. With a Jewelled eight day going barrel movement with fully jewelled Swiss lever escapement, this is a very stylish and usable clock. It is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. Although originally conceived as a travel or bedside table clock it would make a perfect desk clock for the office. The clock is housed in a stylish deep green leather case, which provides protection for the clock while on the go. The case is made of high-quality leather with a smooth and polished finish that adds to the overall elegance of the clock. The cast has an extending nickel winding and setting crown to the top and is stamped ‘1362’, ‘Made in France, Patent Applied For’. The clock unfolds, forming the rear support and revealing a chrome surround to the rectangular Arabic dial inscribed ‘Eight Days, Swiss Made’. The chapters and blued steel hands were formerly luminescent. The case itself is designed to be compact and easy to carry, with a folding design that allows it to be easily packed away in a suitcase or travel bag. The case is held closed with a small metal latch, which keeps the clock securely in place while in transit. Condition: The leather case is in excellent condition with only minor marks and surface scratches. There is a small tear/scuffed area to the lower rear edge. This is not large or noticeable as it sits behind the case when it is in its open position. The winding crown works smoothly and winds and sets the time as it should. The chrome frame to the dial is in good condition without any major defects or rubbing. The dial is in excellent and very original condition. The chapters are clean and well defined. The chapters have old luminescent paint as do the hands but, due to the age, this no longer lights up in the dark.

Jaeger-LeCoultre

The exquisite art of watchmaking is on display in the distinctive designs of Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Swiss manufacturer is celebrated for its striking Art Deco–era antique clocks, while its range of sumptuous luxury watches spans the gamut of modern design, each one a time capsule of its period.

Jaeger-LeCoultre was established in 1833 by watchmaker Antoine LeCoultre in the Vallée de Joux of the Swiss mountains. LeCoultre was also an inventor who, in 1844, created the millionomètre. As the first instrument to measure thousandths of a millimeter with total accuracy, it refined the meticulous watchmaking process. By 1866, LeCoultre's son, Elie LeCoultre, took over the business. He revolutionized watchmaking by bringing all 180 skills involved in the trade into one workshop: LeCoultre & Cie Manufacture.

By 1903, the company had passed to Antoine LeCoultre's grandson, Jacques-David LeCoultre. He created a signature line of ultra-thin watches in partnership with Edmond Jaeger, a French watchmaker who specialized in flat watch cases. In 1907, Louis Cartier signed a contract with Jaeger so that Cartier would have movements for its popular timepieces produced exclusively at LeCoultre in Switzerland. This era saw the debut of Cartier’s Santos as well as its Tank watch.

Watchmakers at Jaeger-LeCoultre began to experiment with the Art Deco style that had encompassed the 1920s and the 1930s. At the time, there were many influences that led to the creation of Art Deco jewelry, while the cases of Art Deco clocks featured architectural details and saw an integration of materials such as brass, glass and marble. Iconic Jaeger-LeCoultre designs from this era include the 1928 Atmos clock and the Reverso watch. Stylish and practical, the coveted Reverso watch features a case that you can flip to protect the watch face.

During the 1950s and '60s, Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers continued the manufacturer’s tradition of prioritizing practical reliability. In 1958, the company introduced the robust and durable Geophysic watch collection. The Memovox Polaris, an alarm-equipped dive watch one could wear underwater, followed in 1968.

The best-known timepiece in the company's modern collection is the Master Control watch, unveiled in 1992. It symbolizes a return to the thin style and performance-first ethic of classic Jaeger-LeCoultre. In 2018, the watchmaker also launched the Polaris collection. Inspired by the original Memovox, the series features a sporty, elegant and contemporary look.
