    Default Jaques LeCoultre rescaled

    Hi all,

    Some time ago I restored an old Swiss str8 – Jaques LeCoultre au Sentier (BTW the legendary watchmaker – Jaeger-LeCoultre).
    Now I decided to make new scales. In his new incarnation it looks quite austere - polished ebony and ivory wedge.
    SS washers and nickelsilver pins.


    Do you remember the song „Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony”?


    Thanks for watching.

    Yes, very nice, and they are superb blades, I'm a huge fan of the French frame backed razors.

    Hmmm. Le Coultre is Swiss.
