SERVICED - 12 MONTHS WARRANTY Charming and outstanding Jaeger-LeCoultre worlt-timer desk clock with date, completed with its original catalogue from 1967, where this ref. 482 is mentioned with price Rotating the outer bezel, and aligning the current city with the current time on the 24 hours dial, will be possible to learn the different time zones through the hand on the crystal, manually adjustable through the crown at its top In the middle of the last century, during the economic boom, the world time complication was particularly popular between high-class gentlemen. We were in the golden era of international travels, when the iconic Concorde planes were flying at 1,300 mph in the skies. This is not just a clock, but a symbol of that years and lifestyle. You're in front of the most attractive model of world-time clock ever made by Jaeger-LeCoultre, and the only one currently for sale on Chrono24. Altough this example is completely serviced and comes with the original catalogue, it is the best price that you can find online. The body is made of solid brass (with electroplated gilt finishing), making the clock remarkably heavy if compared with the dimensions, while the crystal is made of convex plexiglas This timepiece is equipped with a very fine cal.228 movement with 8 days power reserve, the surface is decorated with Côtes de Genève over a sunburst finishing. The movement has been completely serviced a couple of months ago from a Master Watchmaker, timekeeping is accurate and all the functions are working as they should. He offered me 12 months of warranty on the job done. The date function is automatic, this means that it advances every 24 hours by itself. Eventually, it can also be advanced manually through a fast setting leverage on the back, without the need of changing the time.
