Extra information Jaeger-LeCoultre - In 1833 thirty-year-old Antoine LeCoultre, son of Vallee de Joux watchmaker Jacques LeCoultre, opened a small factory in the town of Le Sentier. In any event, LeCoultre soon proved himself to be a gifted watchmaker, but an even morebrilliant inventor. LeCoultre movements were highly regarded. In 1925, the grandson of the firm's founder, David LeCoultre, merged his company with that of Edmond Jaeger, the exclusive supplier of watch movements to Cartier. This is when the modern company known as Jaeger-LeCoultre first came into existence.Incredibly enough, up to this point, Jaeger-LeCoultre had not sold any watches under its own name. The merger, however, prompted further technical innovations, not the least of which was a case made from stainless steel, as well as the creation of thesmallest mechanical movement in the world, which weighed less than one gram. Every single component in a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is hand-finished, produced in-house, and this in turn results in strict quality control. As a result, Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are recognized as being among the very finest hand-crafted watchesavailable.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is a watch brand from Switzerland. It was first established by Antoine LeCoultre (1803 - 1881) in 1833, because of the invention of a machine able to produce pins for watches. LeCoultre was an inventor, and had taught himself to produce watches from scratch.
After the establishment of his first workshop, the invention of the Milionometer followed in 1844. This was a machine for accurate measurement of the smallest watch components. In 1866 LeCoultre and his son Elie decided to bring all skills necessary for building watches under one roof, and they installed a steam engine for this exact purpose. Nowadays the company still produces watches and clocks. Their prices vary between 5000 euro’s for a more simple model, to a few tons of euro’s for more elaborate and exclusive designs.
