It's a bumper automatic rather than a full-rotor - the rotor swings through a partial arc and rebounds off a spring rather than spinning freely, giving the watch a distinct mechanical character that full-rotor automatics later moved away from. For collectors interested in the history of Swiss automatic watchmaking, this is close to the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 33.5mm stainless steel case is fitted with the angular, sculpted \"crab\" lugs typical of late-1940s Jaeger-LeCoultre design, measuring 40.8mm lug to lug - a compact, profile that wears smaller and more refined. The cream dial is signed simply \"LE COULTRE\"(an American market) and carries aged arabic numerals with a warm, even patina, paired with dauphine-style hands and a long sweep centre seconds hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis example has been inspected by our watchmaker and is running and keeping time as expected. As with every Dumarko watch, it ships with a one-year warranty and express insured shipping, carefully packed and ready to wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStainless steel case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSignature angular \"crab\" lugs, characteristic of 1940s Jaeger-LeCoultre design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCase diameter: 33.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLug-to-lug: 40.8mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCream dial signed \"LE COULTRE\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAged arabic numerals with warm, even patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDauphine-style hour and minute hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSweep centre seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOVEMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eJaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 476\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBumper automatic — JLC's first self-winding movement, introduced 1946\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e17 jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMovement serial: 610147\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCurrently running and keeping time as expected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DuMarko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49208846156028,"sku":null,"price":2690.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2266\/1116\/files\/IMG_3104.jpg?v=1781788784","url":"https:\/\/dumarko.com\/products\/vintage-jaeger-lecoultre-bumper-automatic-swiss-watch-crab-lugs-cal-476-2-stainless-steel-case-from-1950s","provider":"DuMarko","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
