Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - 07:56 am:    Hello, I am a first time user of the forum.Recently I have seen a nice watch, aparently 1950's vintage,which has LeCoultre name only on the face and not Jaeger LeCoultre. Jaeger and LeCoultre companies joined together in the 1920's so can someone enlighten me why this watch only has LeCoultre logo. Movement is apparently Calibre 48/CW 17 jewels & whilst marked LeCoultre I am told it is actually a Vacheron & Constantin movement. An explanation would be much appreciated.

People keep on repeating over and over the same thing. It'as simply isn't true. Best, Zaf
