Jaeger-LeCoultre DuoPlan “Tank” – 18K Yellow Gold
Circa 1930s–1940s

A remarkable and highly distinctive creation from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s early technical golden age, this Jaeger DuoPlan Tank is a fascinating blend of innovative movement architecture and refined Art Deco design. Crafted in 18K yellow gold and produced during the late 1930s to 1940s, this watch stands out not only for its elegant Tank-style case, but also for its exceptionally rare and ingenious DuoPlan movement.

Large, architectural, and technically daring for its time, this is a true connoisseur’s vintage Jaeger.

The Case – Art Deco Proportions, Unusually Large for the Era

The 18K yellow gold case measures 22 × 35 mm, making it notably large for a watch of this period—particularly for the 1930s and 1940s, when most rectangular watches were significantly smaller. The elongated Tank-style silhouette gives the watch strong wrist presence while remaining elegant and balanced.

The case is fitted with its original gold crown, a highly desirable detail that reinforces the watch’s originality. The overall design is pure Art Deco, with clean lines and refined proportions that reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the era.

A mineral glass crystal protects the dial, remaining faithful to the watch’s vintage character.

The Dial – Classic Elegance

The watch features a white dial, most likely restored at some point in its life—mentioned with full transparency. The restoration has been executed in a tasteful and period-correct manner, preserving the watch’s vintage charm and legibility.

Complementing the dial are beautiful blue steel hands, adding contrast and a touch of color that enhances the overall elegance of the piece.

The Movement – The Legendary DuoPlan

At the heart of this watch is the famed Jaeger-LeCoultre DuoPlan movement, one of the most interesting and technically inventive calibres of its time. Wound from the back, the DuoPlan features a two-level construction, stacking components vertically rather than spreading them horizontally.

This ingenious architecture allowed Jaeger-LeCoultre to create slim yet mechanically robust movements, and it is precisely this dual-layer design that gives the movement its name: DuoPlan, meaning “two levels.”

Highly complex and far less common than traditional calibres, DuoPlan movements are increasingly rare today and highly sought after by collectors who appreciate early horological innovation.

Strap – Handcrafted Refinement

The watch is fitted with a handmade leather strap from Belgium, offering comfort and a refined finishing touch that complements the watch’s vintage aesthetic.

Perfect for my babies
The Pampers Sensitive Wipes, 448 count, seem to be the best for my children/ babies. After using Costco and other cheaper wipes that caused rashes and other issues, we discovered Pampers Sensitive Wipes. They not only worked great cleaning up the typical baby messes, they did not cause any rashes after use. P & G seem to always be on top of providing quality products to their customers.

Sensitive and Versatile
Wow! This is a big box. I wanted to try some new wipes for the barn and camping. The fact that they were labelled sensitive attracted me to them. It might have been a good idea to try a smaller package first. Fortunately I'm delight with these. The wipes have a soft cloth feel that's not as thin and synthetic feeling as some others. They seem to pick up more of what I'm trying to wipe when some others just smear stuff around. With such a big supply, it's been easy to spread these around to several places to have them on hand. The Prime Pantry price was low enough that I don't feel bad using disposables.

Great for sensitive skin but they could use more texture
I am glad these don't cause a rash on my son's sensitive skin but I don't really like how slippery/slimey these wipes are since it makes it harder to clean my kid's bottom. I have to use more wipes than I'd like because a single wipe doesn't really have the texture to get all the mess off. I do like these wipes to give my kids to wipe their faces and hands since my kids say they are soft, but their softness makes them less effective at wiping off messes on the bottom of my toddler. I think I will stick with less expensive brands of wipes that have a texture that is better at cleaning off my little guy.

Must try!
I LOVE the Pampers Sensitive Wipes! Excellent quality. They don't rip or tear when wiping... feel almost like using a real cloth. Much better than other brands I've tried. I've been using this brand faithfully for 3 years and have never been disappointed.

Absorbent but sometimes no indicator.
So sometimes I get the diapers with the indicator stripe and sometimes I get the nice decorative Sesame Street kind that has no clear indicator. Either way no complaints. Haven't had a blowout yet on any size. Tips on preventing blowouts: 1. Make sure you have the right size! 2. Make sure put the diaper on right. (Squirmy kid) 3. Make sure the diaper flares are out around the thighs. 4. Make sure you change the diaper often enough. 5. Too much desitin can make blowouts happen more often.
