Looking for info on Le Coultre

I'm a fan of watches, with Omega being by far the apple of my eye. I also tinker a bit on watches as a hobby. As many of you know quite well, that leads most folks you come across to think you're a watch expert and know everything about all brands.

That said, a friend of mine asked if I could tell him anything about a vintage Le Coultre watch he found in his father's possessions after he passed away. I told him I had never even heard of the brand but would see what I could find out. Can anyone tell me anything about this watch? I did some standard internet searching and couldn't find any Le Coultre timepieces that looked like this one. I would love to know the basics like vintage or model, but naturally rough value would be great as well.

Thanks in advance!

Lecoultre was founded in Le Sentier well before Jaeger (which was established in Paris).
The two firms started to cooperate at the beginning of 1900 and only in 1937 the official name Jaeger-Lecoultre was born.
However, until 1985 in the USA the brand was Lecoultre, and the cases were produced in the USA.
