This white gold bracelet watch is fitted with the famous mechanical movement Calibre 101 by Jaeger-LeCoultre. In 1929, LeCoultre developed the smallest mechanical movement in the world – Calibre 101. With sizing 14 x 4.8 x 3.4 mm., weighting less than 1 gram, this movement is still the world’s smallest mechanical wristwatch movement today.
