Jaeger Le-Coultre is a mythical brand in the world of Swiss watchmaking, on a par with Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet or Rolex, a brand that at the time revolutionized Swiss watchmaking and that today continues to bill some of the best contemporary watches

This week we look at the history of the brand and the best opportunities offered by the custom Jaeger Le-Coultre watch market.

History of the Jaeger Le-Coultre brand

The history of the Le-Coultre family dates back to the 16th century, although the date that marks the origin of the brand is 1833, the year in which Antoine Le-Coultre founded a small jewelry workshop in Le Sentier, with the aim to develop high-precision chronometers.

In 1844 Antoine Le-Coultre invented the most precise time measurement instrument in the world, the Millionométre, the brand's first milestone, although many more would come later.

The Le-Coultre family founds the first modern Swiss watchmaking workshop, bringing together in a single workshop all the manufactures necessary for the creation of watches. Until 1866 the Swiss watch industry was structured in small workshops, many of them specialized in a single task, the Le-Coultre family is the first to settle in its factory all the trades necessary to develop a watch.

By the year 1900 the brand had developed some 350 different calibers. The precision of its movements was such that even Patek Philippe used semi-finished movements from Jaeger Le-Coultre.

The brand takes its current name when in 1903 the Le-Coultre family joins the Parisian Edmond Jaeger to manufacture ultra-thin watches. In 1907 they created the world's flattest pocket watch.

Among the inventions and patents of the Jaeger Le-Coultre brand, the first watch capable of measuring a micron, the first watch that did not need a key to operate or set the time, the flattest movement in the world, the first watch in the world with small complications, the first perpetual calendar watch, the first minute repeater watch or the first watch to incorporate three animated dials in a single movement.

Jaeger Le-Coultre offers eight different haute horlogerie collections. In all of them the taste for detail, precision and luxury is evident. The following are the collections available in the Jaeger Le-Coultre catalogue.
