Jaeger Lecoultre was, and still is, a producer of high quality movements, and this will have been issued for army purpose requiring high levels of accuracy (Located in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland, Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the only Manufactures which creates, develops, decorates and produces all timepieces by hand within its own workshops since its inception and in order to make each watch in its entirety). G.S.T.P. - (General Service Trade Pattern or as some people incorrectly call them General Service Time Piece) - watches were issued by the Ministry of Defence in the Second World War. They have the serviceman's number to whom the watch was issued, and the broad arrow means Crown Property. This piece is 5cm in diameter, and 1cm in depth. It has an ornate winding crown encircled by a hanging loop. Fully working and keeping very good time, the watch is a brass-coloured metal partially covered in silver, which has worn off in places. The rear of the case has the Broad Arrow, G.S.T.P F 2464 stamped to it. The face has large bi-colour numbers with a second-hand face at the bottom, Jaeger Lecoultre and Swiss Made are also printed to the face. A lovely piece of history by a very high-quality maker. The price includes UK delivery. 16297. (Drawers)
