Jaeger-LeCoultre Dress Watch – Crosshair Dial Ultra-Thin 18K Yellow Gold (Ref. 2285, Circa 1950s)

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Ref. 2285 stands as a quintessential expression of 1950s refinement—elegant, restrained, and mechanically sophisticated. Crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and powered by the maison’s ultra-thin Calibre K800, this watch encapsulates the golden age of Le Sentier watchmaking, where form and function merged seamlessly into timeless design.

The Case – Classic 1950s Elegance in Gold

The 34 mm 18K yellow gold case embodies mid-century balance and poise. Its polished surfaces and slim, rounded profile exude sophistication without excess, designed to sit discreetly and comfortably on the wrist.

At just 8 mm thick, this case showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre’s expertise in creating ultra-thin mechanical watches long before the genre became fashionable. The case remains beautifully preserved, with well-defined edges and its original case serial (916893) clearly visible—attesting to its authenticity and careful preservation.

The watch is fitted with a Jaeger-LeCoultre signed crown and protected by a plexiglass crystal, adding a warm vintage charm that complements the gold’s natural luster.

The Dial – Crosshair Precision and Subtle Depth

The factory-original dial is a rare and beautiful crosshair variant, featuring a finely printed cross at center that gives the dial a sense of precision and symmetry. The engraved and sunken hour indices, an uncommon and luxurious detail, create depth and texture under varying light.

The dial has developed a gentle, even patina, enhancing its authenticity and vintage appeal without diminishing its legibility or elegance. This subtle aging speaks to the watch’s originality and careful life over seven decades.

The Movement – Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre K800

Inside beats the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre K800, a manual-wound ultra-thin movement celebrated for its precision and technical refinement. Compact yet beautifully engineered, the K800 exemplifies Jaeger-LeCoultre’s role as “the watchmaker’s watchmaker,” producing movements that balanced mechanical innovation with graceful simplicity.

The movement winds smoothly and runs accurately, underscoring both its enduring quality and the brand’s mastery of fine horology.

The Strap – Handmade Belgian Leather Elegance

This exceptional dress watch is paired with a brand-new handmade leather strap crafted in Belgium, offering supple comfort while perfectly complementing the warmth of the yellow gold case. The combination of vintage sophistication and contemporary craftsmanship ensures the watch remains both wearable and distinguished.

Excellent for pulling espresso shots, looked great, no rusting... until the welded handle just popped off after a few months with hand washing only.

The measuring jug is resistant, made of stainless steel and with clear marks that make it easier to measure liquids accurately from the inside. The handle is comfortable and the pourer helps to serve without spills that is always a mess at that moment.
