***************
Wearing a LeCoultre watch identifies you as someone who appreciates the finest Swiss watchmaking skill
along with a uniquestylishness that sets LeCoultre apart from the crowd. This unique watch has history,
quality and design that are second to 1883:TheJaeger-LeCoultre Watch Co. of Switzerlandwas established in Le Sentier, Valee de Joux in1833by Antoine LeCoultre.In 1844, he measured themicrometre(μm) for the first time and created the world\'s most precise measuring instrument, themillionometer, capable of measuring to thousandths of amillimetre.LeCoultre’s millionometer was so important that it led to the adoption of the metric system by the entire Swiss watchwatching industry. Indeed, from the late 18th century to the early part of the 20th,there was a little bit of LeCoultre in most of the best Swiss watches. LeCoultre produced movement blanks for Patek Philippe, made entirewatches for Cartier, and supplied Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Breguet, Omega, and Audmars Piguet with key components.
In 1851, he was awarded a gold medal for his work on timepieceprecisionandmechanizationat the firstUniversal ExhibitioninLondon.Within 30 years, LeCoultre had created more than 350 different timepiececalibers,of which 128 were equipped withchronographfunctions and 99 withrepeatermechanisms. From 1902 and for the next 30 years, LeCoultre produced most of the movement blanks forPatek PhilippeofGeneva.After 175 yearsit is still one of the most important manufacturers of ebauches (raw movements), and has supplied mechanisms to almost all the notable producers of luxury watches,including Vacheron & Constantin and Patek Philippe.Merging with the Alsatian watch factory of Edmond Jaeger in 1925, the nameJaeger LeCoultresoon appeared on wristwatch dials, includingthe world\'s most complicated wristwatch, the Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonneriewith 26 complications.In 1929, the two partners produced Calibre 101, the world’s smallest movement (then as now), with 74 parts that together weighed less than a gram. The company put the Calibre 101 in its 2 Ligne ladieswristwatch, which was diminutive and discreet enough to be worn by Queen Elizabeth II during her coronation.Jaeger-LeCoultre remainsa high-end luxurywatchandclockmanufacturer whosewatches competewith other high-endbrands such asPatek Philippe & Co,Vacheron Constantin, andAudemars Piguet.They are a watch collector’s watch and rank at the top ofinvestment-gradetimepieces.
