JLC watches (Jaeger-LeCoultre) for women and men: Jaeger-LeCoultre - Manufacture de haute horlogerie
Jaeger-LeCoultre is a watch and clock manufacture based in Le Sentier (in Le Chenit), Vaud, Switzerland. In 1833 Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881) founded a small workshop, which was to become the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. With over 200 patents and more than 1,000 different calibres developed and crafted under one roof, several icon models such as the Reveros, the Duoplan or the Atmos, it is one of the most important and most innovative players in watchmaking history.
In 1844, LeCoultre measured the micrometre (μm) for the first time; he created the world's most precise measuring instrument, the millionometer (a device capable of measuring to the nearest thousandths of a millimetre).
From 1902 and for the next 30 years, LeCoultre & Cie produced most of the movement blanks for Patek Philippe of Geneva.
The coming together of Jaeger & LeCoultre
In 1903, the Parisian Edmond Jaeger challenged the Swiss to manufacture ultra-thin calibers of his own design. Jacques-David LeCoultre, grandson of Antoine undertook the challenge.
A relationship with Cartier
Cartier, a client of Edmond Jaeger for several years signed an exclusive contract with the Parisian watchmaker in
1907 under which agreement Jaeger, LeCoultre & Cie crafted the watch creations of Cartier.
1907 Calibre 145 : the world’s thinnest mechanical movement.
1928 Invention of the Atmos clock: virtually perpetual winding.
1929 Calibre 101 : the world’s smallest mechanical movement.
1931 Creation of the Reverso: its unique swivel was to transform this great Art Deco classic into a living legend.
1956 Memovox : the first automatic alarm watch.
1958 Geophysic : chronometer with double anti-magnetic case.
1992 Creation of the 1000 Hours control: a series of tests that gave rise to a new benchmark in horological reliability.
2004 A world first: the Gyrotourbillon 1 spherical tourbillon heralds a new chapter in the history of Grande Complication watches.
2006 With its 6 patents, the Reverso grande complication à triptyque is the first Reverso to offer three watch faces.
