We’ve always taken pride in offering only the finest examples we can find, and this one ticks every box: condition, rarity, and sheer quality. In truly stunning shape, nearly unworn and looking as if it rolled out of the store yesterday, this Reverso-style Uniplan is nothing short of a grail for JLC enthusiasts.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Uniplan mirrors the Reverso in silhouette, movement, and proportions, but without the flip-over mechanism. What you get instead is pure, uninterrupted design: an elongated, gracefully curved case that hugs the wrist with an elegance few watches can match. It wears beautifully, feels timeless, and carries that quiet, refined charisma that makes early JLC so irresistible.
Inside beats Jaeger-LeCoultre’s calibre 410, a manually wound movement that perfectly embodies why JLC has long been known as the watchmaker’s watchmaker.
And then there’s the dial. That matte white finish paired with razor-sharp, applied mirror indices, a recessed sub-seconds track, and those wide, heat-blued hands that practically glow, it’s nothing short of mesmerizing. Finding an example this clean borders on the mythical; most have faded, aged unevenly, or been retouched over the decades. Here, every detail is beautifully preserved, from the crisp typography to the “Fabriqué en Suisse” marking, a subtle clue that this piece was originally destined for the French market.
And for those who appreciate the small details, the watch even comes with its original white-and-blue presentation box, a charming period detail that completes the experience.
CONDITION
The case is in NOS shape and possibly unworn. The engravings are perfectly visible on the case back, the dial is clean and complete.
