Brief Brand History for Jaeger - LeCoultre
The history of Jaeger LeCoultre goes back over 150 years ago. Jacques LeCoultre was a leading supplier of watch parts and movements to many of the biggest Swiss Watchmakers such as Vacheron, Audemars, IWC, and Patek. When LeCoultre joined forces with Edmund Jaeger, the company went a whole new direction. They introduced their own line of watches – manufactured completely in-house. And to this day, Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the few companies in Switzerland that still produces its own movements, cases, dials, hands, and bracelets. Virtually every single component in a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is hand-finished, produced in-house.
In 2000 Richemont (Cartier, Baume & Mercier, Piaget, IWC and Mt. Blanc) acquired Jaeger-LeCoultre.

The tradition and quality of the famous Jaeger LeCoultre watches originated in 1833, in Switzerland, the country where the most prestigious watch manufacturers began their business. Elegant timepieces are the trademark of Jaeger LeCoultre and the manufacturer has been consistent, throughout history, in producing high quality watches that never disappoint their clients. While the Jaeger LeCoultre watches are only found in the premium watch market, the company is striving to offer them at affordable prices, while maintaining the exact same work ethics that made them one of the world’s leading wristwatch manufacturers. Jaeger LeCoultre is actually the creator of several interesting inventions and wristwatch advancements and improvements.
Improvements and features of Jaeger LeCoultre watches
The invention of the million meter, in 1844, by Antoine LeCoultre, is the first element worth mentioning. The device allowed for extremely precise measurements, which went down to micron sizes. Just three years afterwards, Antoine LeCoultre invented the first crown winding system – an innovation that revolutionized the watch making industry by eliminating the need for a winding key. The company also holds a record today – the thinnest pocket watch movement – which stands from 1903! The width of the pocket watch is only 1.38 mm. The Reverso is yet another remarkable invention by Jaeger LeCoultre. This fascinating wristwatch has a swivel case and it features two sides, each displaying the time of a different time zone. While the practicality of this watch is moderate, the simple idea that stands behind it made it a world renown success. In 1953, Jaeger LeCoultre produced the world’s first automatic alarm wristwatch.

The large date display is a favorite with many fans of Jaeger LeCoultre watches and the watch also features a power reserve indicator display. Since this is the "World Chronograph", you also have access to the most important time zones.
Master Grand Reveil – featuring a perpetual calendar and a mechanical alarm, the Master Grand Reveil is one of the most sought after Jaeger LeCoultre watches.
