JAEGER-LECOULTRE
Read the storyJaeger-LeCoultre is best known worldwide for creating the most famous watch of all, the immortal Reverso. The model's clean Art Deco inspired lines have ensured that after more than seventy years of uninterrupted production, the watch is still a shining star in the sky.
Jaeger Le-Coultre manufacture belongs to the undisputed top of the watchmaking world, and with its uncompromising demand for quality, JLC appeals especially to the person who demands the best.
Hailing from the Swiss watchmaking mecca of Vallée de Joux, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been a pioneer among the best Swiss watch brands as a true manufacture since 1833.
Among Jaeger-LeCoultre's patents and mechanical creations are the world's thinnest pocket watch at just 1.38 mm (1903), the world's smallest mechanical movement, the famous caliber 101 (1929), and the amazing and deeply fascinating Atmos table clock, which manages to wind itself by means of small changes in air temperature alone, making it the closest thing to a mechanical perpetual motion machine.
Alongside these small masterpieces, Jaeger-LeCoultre provides a continuous production of complicated movements. Watches with perpetual calendar, minute repeater and tourbillon are complemented by, for example, the Reverso duetto model's ability to display the time in one watch with two
dials (front and back), powered by the same movement. It also gives women the option of an elegant mechanical watch with a classic watch face for everyday wear and a diamond-studded watch face for evening wear. Two watches in one watch - that's class!
It is also a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre's level of quality that other watch brands' complicated watches are sometimes "hospitalized" at JLC when their own watchmakers cannot locate the cause of irregularities in the movement. It sounds unbelievable, but it's actually the case.
Jaeger-LeCoultre is a watch brand with a great history and a secure future. And in many respects, the intelligent watch choice.
