Jaeger LeCoultre Fabrication Suisse Automatic Bumper Cal. 476 – A Mid-Century Marvel from the 1950s

We are proud to present this exquisite Jaeger LeCoultre Fabrication Suisse Automatic Bumper Cal. 476, a landmark piece in the history of automatic watchmaking. Produced in the early 1950s, this timepiece embodies the pioneering spirit and technical mastery for which Jaeger LeCoultre is renowned. With its rich heritage and timeless design, this watch is a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to innovation and elegance.

Dial and Case: A Rare Beauty with Historical Significance

The dial of this watch, marked “Fab Suisse,” signifies its original production for the French market, lending it a distinctive touch of provenance. Lightly patinated over time, the dial exudes vintage charm while retaining its clarity and refined appeal. Though likely restored in the past, the restoration has been tastefully done, preserving its authenticity and character.

The stainless steel case is in excellent condition, showcasing sharp edges that highlight its crisp geometry. At 34mm in diameter (excluding the crown), this piece offers a balanced presence on the wrist, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage watches. The clearly visible serial number, 436676, adds to the watch's traceable authenticity and collectible value.

Movement: The Innovation of Early Automatic Technology

At the heart of this timepiece lies the Jaeger LeCoultre Caliber 476, an early automatic "bumper" movement that showcases the ingenuity of mid-20th-century watchmaking. The bumper system, a precursor to modern full-rotor automatics, operates with a satisfying mechanical motion that is both functional and evocative of its era. Recently serviced by expert hands, the movement performs flawlessly, ensuring reliable timekeeping for years to come.

Honda product and quality.
Do NOT understand why my lawnmower with a Honda engine did not come with a Honda carburetor. Replaced with this Honda carburetor and starts easily. The other carb only lasted 1.5 years.

Worked but not well made. If you need 24 hour turnaround only option.
The housing is 95% identical. Float valve seat is smaller than mercury/quicksilver. The carb I received was stuck wide open. Had to completely pull it apart to fix the throttle. Then the choke didn’t work correctly. So I ended up putting this housing on with all my old mercury carb parts inside. All I needed was a new float valve but they are back ordered indefinitely. So this worked because the housing is correct but that’s about it. Internals were plastic. Not metal. Jury is still out on the jet size. I’ll update if it floods the motor at speed. Seems to be running very rich. If you’re looking for easy, I’d buy the quicksilver that’s tuned for the motor already. The carb I received idled too fast and even if the throttle wasn’t stuck open it wouldn’t have run well with a racing choke (screams air leak because of poor quality)

Throttle pin defective
This carb fits my tohatsu 3.5 hp but the throttle pin is defective. The only way to regulate it running wide open is to choke it out.
