Jaeger LeCoultre 9021.42 Étrier „Hermès“ 1970s

Jaeger-LeCoultre Étrier Ref. 9021.42 – Equestrian Elegance of the 1970s

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Étrier is one of the manufacture's most distinctive creations of the 1970s. Named after the French word for "stirrup," its elegant case design draws inspiration from the world of equestrian sports—a design language famously embraced by both Jaeger-LeCoultre and Hermès, making the Étrier one of the era's most recognizable shaped watches.

This Ref. 9021.42 perfectly captures that spirit. The graceful stainless steel stirrup-shaped case frames an untouched black dial, creating a striking contrast that feels every bit as elegant today as it did fifty years ago. Slim proportions and minimalist styling give the watch a refined, jewelry-like appearance while remaining unmistakably Jaeger-LeCoultre. Sold by HERMÈS Paris boutique it is carrying some extra charm.

Inside beats a manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre movement, reflecting the manufacture's longstanding expertise in creating compact, reliable calibers for elegant dress watches.

Delicate yet distinctive, the Étrier is a reminder that great watch design is not always about complexity—it is about proportion, originality, and timeless style. Today, these models have become increasingly collectible as enthusiasts rediscover the bold creativity of 1970s Jaeger-LeCoultre.

For collectors seeking the perfect pair, we also offer the matching larger "her" model — the Jaeger-LeCoultre Étrier Ref. 1670 from the 1970s.
