Jaeger-Le Coultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre table is typical of the Swiss watch brand. A lot of Swiss watch brand has the following two characteristics: from the Jura mountains JOUX valleys, such as Piaget (Piaget); two crystallization of collaboration, such as Patek Philippe (from 100 up to PATEK, and Fei Li PHILLIPE create two ), Girard-Perregaux (from Grardt and Perregaux collaboration), etc.. Two characteristics of both, then enjoy a great reputation in the world, such as the Audemars Piguet (Audemars Piguet), and Jaeger-LeCoultre lists.
18th-century ago, the British and the French watch manufacturers monopolized the watch industry, for the merchant to provide precision timer to assist them to sail around the world. At the same time, the other forces are also actively brewing watches, this is Switzerland, because the French Protestants, a large number of artisans to escape religious persecution, hiding in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland JOUX valley. Six months a year there is snow seal off the long cold winter people stay at home, there is enough time and patience to produce a more sophisticated mechanical devices, such as music boxes, automatic operation of machinery and watches. To the 19th century, known as the “Combiers” the valley residents, already has more than Britain and France and other countries watch the technology so far behind other parts of the world.
Jaeger-LeCoultre the table that is born in this valley. LeCoultre family in 1803 gave birth to a boy Antoine, he initially worked as an apprentice in his father’s blacksmith’s shop at the same time devote ourselves to research gear manufacturing technology and metallurgy. In 1833, he founded Le Sentier town hand-field, left the family business. By 1860, his company’s size has reached more than 100 people dedicated to production of watches precision devices, has introduced hundreds of watch movement, which laid the foundation itself in the position of the Swiss watch industry. In 1903, Antoine100 years old (of course he did not live up to that time, but he did receive a birthday gift of the best offerings), his grandson Jacob – David, when speaking with the French-precision navigation manufacturers Jaeger-LeCoultre (Edmon Jaeger) co-established the product of today’s home form (Jaeger LeCoultre) plant.
Founded from 1833 to present, these have numerous patents, the development of the world watches and clocks made a great contribution. As the product family’s movement production is extremely diverse, is the world’s very few output type movement watch company. Especially in high-end movements that a number of other brands of high-end watches because of sales volume is small, so their production is also less than normal movement will be selected product family produced movement, Jaeger-LeCoultre virtually done for publicity. Can be considered mutually beneficial bar.
