For the second year in a row, Jaeger-LeCoultre put up an exclusive timepiece for its online auction to raise funds for "Tides of Time".
This year, the chosen timepiece was a 1958 Geophysic Chronometer, E168 model, which scaled the summit of Mount Antoine LeCoultre on the wrists of renowned mountaineers.

This collector will now have the pleasure of being the new owner of a remarkable timepiece steeped in history.
The entire proceeds from the auction will be donated to Sundarbans National Park, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1987.
