Edmond Jaeger the premium brand watch maker started producing aviation instruments for English and French pilots with the help of Jacques-David LeCoultre’s company, this expanded into car dials as car production levels increased. It’s instruments were so revered, that even German pilots began using the Jaeger instruments from planes which they had shot down. A Jaeger instrument was found in Manfred von Richthofen’s cockpit, when the notorious German ace, known as the Red Baron, was eventually defeated.
This display piece was conceived and created by one of our regular contributors  who has a real talent for sympathetic repurposing of vintage automotive and aeronautical items.
Carefully placed within a freestanding display frame behind a circular perspex pane, the speedo is suspended and preserved in its original state for display or may be removed at a later date to be serviced and tested ahead of playing its part in a restoration project.
