A guide for this piece: about $2,227, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

A Jaeger chronograph with calibre 285, in an 18K yellow gold case, with its original dial signed Jaeger and a new genuine ostrich strap closed by an 18K yellow gold buckle.
The Piece
Edmond Jaeger opened his workshop in Paris in 1880 and worked closely with the LeCoultre manufacture in Le Sentier, and watches from the partnership carried the Jaeger name alone.
The case and the buckle are 18K yellow gold, and the original dial is signed Jaeger without any other name. The movement is the chronograph calibre 285. The strap is genuine ostrich leather, new, with holes on either side of the buckle's usual position. A timing check records the watch running about ten seconds fast per day, which is offered as a guide only.
The case is 36.5 mm (1.44 in) across, excluding the crown, with an 18 mm (0.71 in) lug width, and the strap fits a wrist of 17.5 cm (6.9 in). The case weighs 50.0 g (1.76 oz) on its own and 57.8 g (2.04 oz) with buckle and strap. Two spare spring bars are included.
