Crikey! Only recently, I was impressed (or possibly better: astonished) by the fact that LeCoultre, for all the multitude of movements they made, never really made any manual (wristwatch) chronograph movements in the fifties and sixties. The few watches of that type I have seen of theirs were equipped with Universal Geneve movements or the later ones by Valjoux. They then made some manual chronographs for their "Reverso" watches in the post-quartz-crisis era before coming up with the automatic chrono movement in the last few years. Anyone else know the reasons for this gap in their movement collection?!

That's the best looking pocket chrono I've ever seen.
