A diamond bracelet/watch, mid 20th century

The square dial with baton numerals, between lugs set with baguette-cut diamonds, on an articulated bracelet set with similarly-cut diamonds in geometric formation, diamonds approximately 7.25 carats total, movement signed by Jaeger-LeCoultre, length 17.3cm

Footnotes

This watch is fitted with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 movement, which is the smallest watch movement in the world.

Originally built in 1929, the Calibre 101 consists of 98 tiny parts weighing only one gram. Its assembly is a specialist process that only very few watchmakers can master, and thus only a few Calibre 101 movements are made each year on special order, making the Calibre 101 highly collectable. The watch Queen Elizabeth II wore at her coronation in 1953 was powered by a Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101.
