Jaeger-LeCoultre DuoPlan “Tank” – 18K Yellow Gold
Circa 1930s–1940s

A remarkable and highly distinctive creation from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s early technical golden age, this Jaeger DuoPlan Tank is a fascinating blend of innovative movement architecture and refined Art Deco design. Crafted in 18K yellow gold and produced during the late 1930s to 1940s, this watch stands out not only for its elegant Tank-style case, but also for its exceptionally rare and ingenious DuoPlan movement.

Large, architectural, and technically daring for its time, this is a true connoisseur’s vintage Jaeger.

The Case – Art Deco Proportions, Unusually Large for the Era

The 18K yellow gold case measures 22 × 35 mm, making it notably large for a watch of this period—particularly for the 1930s and 1940s, when most rectangular watches were significantly smaller. The elongated Tank-style silhouette gives the watch strong wrist presence while remaining elegant and balanced.

The case is fitted with its original gold crown, a highly desirable detail that reinforces the watch’s originality. The overall design is pure Art Deco, with clean lines and refined proportions that reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the era.

A mineral glass crystal protects the dial, remaining faithful to the watch’s vintage character.

The Dial – Classic Elegance

The watch features a white dial, most likely restored at some point in its life—mentioned with full transparency. The restoration has been executed in a tasteful and period-correct manner, preserving the watch’s vintage charm and legibility.

Complementing the dial are beautiful blue steel hands, adding contrast and a touch of color that enhances the overall elegance of the piece.

The Movement – The Legendary DuoPlan

At the heart of this watch is the famed Jaeger-LeCoultre DuoPlan movement, one of the most interesting and technically inventive calibres of its time. Wound from the back, the DuoPlan features a two-level construction, stacking components vertically rather than spreading them horizontally.

This ingenious architecture allowed Jaeger-LeCoultre to create slim yet mechanically robust movements, and it is precisely this dual-layer design that gives the movement its name: DuoPlan, meaning “two levels.”

Highly complex and far less common than traditional calibres, DuoPlan movements are increasingly rare today and highly sought after by collectors who appreciate early horological innovation.

Strap – Handcrafted Refinement

The watch is fitted with a handmade leather strap from Belgium, offering comfort and a refined finishing touch that complements the watch’s vintage aesthetic.

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Paid for new, received used.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Cognac, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Cognac
Arrived dirty as if someone whore it for more than a few days. Maybe I was mistaken, but I saw nothing about “previously used” on the Amazon page. Returned it. I would suggest that the company use quality control when it comes to shipping. The shoes seem find otherwise. I ordered 9.5 and it was just a bit tight. If I reorder I will go for size 10.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
