Identification

So years ago my grandpa found this watch in a park while walking it during work (he worked as a cop in northern New Jersey) anyway he passed it onto my dad. Neither of them knew much about watches except they needed them to tell time. My dad gave it to me a few years ago when he saw i was getting into watch collecting. Any information would be great. I have been had it explained as art deco which im guessing is referring to the lugs. I haven't been able to find out much on it myself.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Mid to late 1940s - very similar to this -> https://itsawindup.com/watches/sold-jaeger-lecoultre-14k-solid-gold-vintage-watch-c1946-knotted-lugs

 

I would suggest it is quite a valuable piece, so treat it with care.

If your watch is genuine which I’m sure it is. It is worth quite a lot of money.  Take good care of it.

JLC is an excellent brand, good samples of this vintage sexy thing are rare, valuable.

Indeed, a beautiful watch.

The case and dial look original. The dial is not new production or repainted.

How about movement?
