A Charming Gold Filled LeCoultre Tank Presentation Watch with a Stunning Art Deco Dial Featuring Stylish Furniture, c.1945

LeCoultre is the name used by the historic Swiss manufacture founded by Antoine LeCoultre in 1833 when selling watches in the American market throughout much of the 20th century. Due to distribution and trademark arrangements, many US-sold pieces were signed simply “LeCoultre” rather than Jaeger-LeCoultre. These watches share the same in-house movements, craftsmanship and design heritage as their European counterparts and are now highly regarded for their quality, elegance and collectible significance.

What's on Offer

A striking Art Deco–era LeCoultre dress watch, this rectangular piece showcases the bold yet elegant design language of the 1940s. The gold-filled case presents beautifully, with gently curved, soldered lugs and crisp geometry that sits elegantly on the wrist. The dial is a real highlight, featuring abstract, arrowhead-style faceted hour markers, stylish Dauphine hands and a neatly balanced subsidiary seconds register at six o’clock, giving the watch both character and symmetry.

Signed “LeCoultre” for the American market, the watch reflects the transatlantic heritage of the brand, with Swiss craftsmanship paired with US casing and finishing. Adding further charm and provenance, this example is a presentation piece, with period engraving to the caseback that hints at its original owner and story. A refined, wearable slice of horological history, offering timeless style with genuine vintage soul.
