Jaeger-LeCoultre

It was in 1833 that this firm’s history began when Antoine LeCoultre founded a small watchmaking workshop in the Vallée de Joux, and it was in 1937 that Edmond Jaeger and Jacques-David LeCoultre decided to collaborate that watchmaking creations began to bear the name Jaeger-LeCoultre. Since then it has become known as the “big firm”, because it is one of the very few watchmaking companies that can really claim to be a full manufacturing concern, since the movements are developed and made within Jaeger-leCoultre employing more than 40 trades or professionalisms and 20 cutting-edge technologies under one roof. Legendary models emerge from these design studios, such as the famous Atmos clock in 1928, the unique Reverso that came out in 1931 as a perfect expression of the Art Deco spirit, the Memovox in 1956, the first alarm watch, all the way to the recently presented major complications such as the exceptional Gyrotourbillon or the very latest Extreme Lab, which works without any lubricant.
