Very Good Vintage Condition. Don Draper’s watches from the first two seasons of Mad Men are by Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC). They are perfectly chosen to align with Draper’s character development, as well as to match the feel of the 1960s. Also, JLC is an iconic brand, and Don Draper is an iconic character.
This line of JLC was very popular with businessmen in the 1960s: the mechanical alarm clock function served as a personal assistant and, especially with the “Tuxedo” configuration, was more than appropriate for events and formal settings-a perfect watch for Don Draper, and one that compliments the hustle and bustle of the “Big Apple” in the first season.
The brash, outspoken protagonist of the critically acclaimed show Mad Men, is a complex, layered character, with an intricate and dark backstory. In the first season, set in 1960 when he’s starting out at the ad agency, Don Draper’s watch is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox.
This watch is symbolic of his status at the company, as it is a JLC starter model. The edition Draper wears, nicknamed the “Tuxedo,” features a black outer ring, white inner dial, and steel case. It is practical, with its built in alarm feature, and attractive with a hint of retro.
Its dial was certainly recently refinished to look in such outstanding condition. The watch comes with our usual Raffaello's microfiber cleaning cloths.
