A true collector’s gem, the “Lucchetto” (Italian for “padlock”) from Jaeger-LeCoultre dates to the 1970s and exemplifies the Maison’s flair for playful yet refined design. Its petite, padlock-shaped case—crafted entirely in polished stainless steel—measures approximately 20 mm × 28 mm (including the hinged bail), creating both a bold statement and a delightful chique charm. The dial is a crisp silver-white, punctuated by slender black baton hour markers and dauphine hands, all protected by a domed mineral crystal. Housed within is JLC’s reliable manual-winding calibre, renowned for its slim profile and enduring precision. Designed to hang from a matching steel link bracelet or attach to a necklace, the “Lucchetto” blurs the line between timepiece and jewelry. Its secure spring-loaded bail and concealed crown maintain the lock motif while ensuring ease of wear. Elegant, whimsical, and unmistakably Jaeger-LeCoultre, this “Lucchetto” watch is a standout addition for lovers of vintage ladies’ watches and design-savvy collectors alike.
