Jaeger LeCoultre

Jaeger LeCoultre was established in 1833 by the brothers Charles Antoine and Ulysse LeCoultre in the Valle de Joux in the Swiss Canton of Vaud. The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer belongs to the Richemont holding company and is based in Le Sentier, Switzerland. Ladies’ watches with the smallest calibre in the world (K101, since 1929), the skeletonised pocket watch Grande Complicaton Email Bleu calibre 17JSSCCRVQ with minute repetition, two-hand chronograph and perpetual calendar (since 1928), the Reverso with swivel case (since 1931), the Memovox alarm watch (since 1956, with automatic winding since 1956), the automatic watch Futurematic (automatic alarm watch for divers, Deep Sea Automatic Alarm, since 1959) and the Grand Rveil with alarm, perpetual calendar and automatic winding (since 1989) are among the best-known watches. Recent successes include the Master Grand Rveil (since 2004, with vibration alarm) and the Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie, consisting of 1300 components with 26 complications, one of the most complicated wristwatches in the world (since 2009). Table clocks are also produced to this day, such as the Atmos (since 1931), whose mechanical movement is wound up through changes in temperature. (nlu)
