LeCoultre Pershing

INQUIRE

Here’s an incredibly rare LeCoultre “Pershing” named in honor of the famous US WWII army general. Crafted in solid 14k yellow gold, this piece wears like a small piece of art—an elegant champagne dial set inside an unusually bold faceted case with sculpted lugs. The dial features crisp with Arabic numerals at the quarters, a clean railroad minute track, sharp markers, and a perfectly balanced small-seconds register. Signed LeCoultre (the name used for the U.S. market in this era), this piece is refined, unconventional, and an incredibly rare piece of post-WWII military history.

Founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland, Jaeger-LeCoultre began as a modest watchmaking shop. From the outset, the Manufacture revolutionized watchmaking by uniting all crafts under one roof, driven by an obsession with accuracy that led to innovations such as the Millionomètre in 1844, the first instrument that measured to the micron (one-millionth of a meter). In 1903, LeCoultre partnered with Parison watchmaker Edmond Jager, forming what would become Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Often called “the watchmaker’s watchmaker,” Jaeger-LeCoultre earned this reputation by supplying movements to other leading houses, including Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Vacheron Constantin. With hundreds of inventions, over one thousand movements, and landmark achievements in ultra-thin engineering and mechanical complexity, the Manufacture has continually pushed the boundaries of what is possible. Rooted in the Vallée de Joux and defined by fully in-house mastery, Jaeger-LeCoultre embodies precision, creativity, and technical excellence at the highest level of watchmaking.
