Queen Elizabeth II’s Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 Coronation Watch

Jaeger-LeCoultre records that Queen Elizabeth II chose a watch powered by its miniature Calibre 101 for her coronation on 2 June 1953. The manufacturer continues to cite the object in its official history of Calibre 101, linking mechanical miniaturisation with a defining British state ceremony. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Jaeger-LeCoultre source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
