Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Chaumet Retailer Signature – 18K Yellow Gold Cream Dial
Hand selected by the Chaumet curation team
The Reverso is already a design icon, but this Reference 140.007.1 adds a layer of provenance that is rarely seen. It is a double-stamped execution, featuring the Chaumet signature on the dial alongside Jaeger-LeCoultre. In the 1990s, the historic Parisian jeweler Chaumet selected specific models to be sold through their boutiques, marking them as pieces of exceptional design. This is a curated artifact from one of the most prestigious retail partnerships in watch history, representing a period when the brand was catering mainly to Parisian clientele.
Exclusive hallmarks and history
This specific Reverso carries details that confirm its boutique origins. The caseback is engraved with a custom Chaumet serial number, separating it from the standard JLC production line. It also features LeCoultre hallmarks on the case, a branding detail found on high-end gold pieces from this era that points toward its specific heritage and manufacturing origins. The cream dial has aged with a consistent patina, giving the watch a lovely warm character.
Preserved 18k gold
The piece is in good vintage condition overall. The 18k yellow gold case is in good condition, retaining the sharp lines and the distinct flipping mechanism that defines the model. The dial and crystal are well-preserved, with the patina on the dial being the only significant sign of its age. It is currently paired with an aftermarket leather strap and buckle. Mechanically, the movement is performing exactly as it should and is running strong after passing our test bench.
A Parisian outlier
This is for the collector who values the specific, boutique-driven history of the 20th century. It offers the classic Reverso silhouette but with the added weight of the Chaumet name and the rarity of the LeCoultre hallmarks. It's a sophisticated, historical piece that manages to be unmistakably JLC while remaining a rare outlier in any room.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
