Jaeger-LeCoultre Kryos Mecha-Quartz Chronograph ref. 305.831 circa 1990s
Since 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre has earned the nickname "The Watchmaker's Watchmaker" due to its historic role supplying movements to other high-end marques. The manufacturer holds over 430 patents and has created more than 1,400 unique calibers.
Kyros is the greek word for frost— coined to evoke images of arctic exploration, extreme winter sports, and frozen alpine environments. This chronograph is from the neo-vintage period sporting refined proportions, a silky bracelet and tritium dial equipped with 26-jewel in-house JLC mecha-quartz movement also used in models such as the IWC ingenieur from the same era. Positioned as a "dress-diver" collection, it stands out as a highly distinctive as both a tool and luxury watch as it is paired with highly integrated metal link bracelets using double-folding clasps and a screw down crown.
While no service history, this one is keeping time accurately and the choreograph is starting, stopping and resetting like it should.
Overall excellent condition with light signs or wear and polish
