RARE Jaeger-LeCoultre Uniplan ref 411 from 1937 - cal 60 center seconds - all original black dial

Hello and welcome! This is a rare and gorgeous Jaeger-LeCoultre Uniplan center seconds ref 411 from 1937 in excellent original condition.

1937 is a significant year for Jaeger-LeCoultre, as it’s the official birth of the brand. Edmond Jaeger of Paris and Jacques-David LeCoultre of Le Sentier had already been working together for more than three decades, and their partnership was finally made fully official with the new name in 1937. That’s also the year this beauty was created.

The Uniplan was launched in 1932, right after the Reverso in 1931. They both used the same movement and general design. And then in 1936/1937 JLC introduced their first movement with center seconds, which was used for the Reverso and Uniplan.
This particular example is in excellent original condition. The rare original black dial is in excellent condition, with light patina, and a mark on the corner at 10-11h. The sword hands are original as well, with the original lume inserts. The seconds hand is also original. This is the same dial and hand set that came on the Reverso.

The steel case is in excellent condition, with light signs of use. The crown is original unsigned.

The watch is a ref 411, powered by a manual wind cal 60 from 1937. Service history unknown, but it works perfectly and keeps good time.

It measures 22,1mm width without crown, and 37,5mm from lug to lug.

Rare piece of history in excellent original condition. Very hard to find, especially with original dial.

Hello, the watch is very small, the glass measure 22mm lenght, right ? I have the same model, but not center second, with Lecoultre 410 and Jaeger Lecoultre as you on the dial.

for me the horns of the watch are too big, so the proportions is not so beautifull as the reverso, my tank has much smaller horns.
