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 é uma marca de relógios da Suíça. Foi fundada por Antoine LeCoultre (1803 - 1881) em 1833, devido à invenção de uma máquina capaz de produzir alfinetes para relógios. LeCoultre era um inventor e aprendeu sozinho a produzir relógios do zero. Após o estabelecimento de sua primeira oficina, a invenção do Milionômetro veio em 1844. Era uma máquina para medição precisa dos menores componentes de um relógio. Em 1866, LeCoultre e seu filho Elie decidiram trazer todas as habilidades necessárias para construir relógios sob o mesmo teto, e instalaram uma máquina a vapor exatamente para esse propósito. Hoje a empresa ainda produz relógios e relógios. Seus preços variam entre 5000 euros para um modelo mais simples, a algumas toneladas de euros para designs mais elaborados e exclusivos.
