“Praise of Time” by artist Gouju-amalric. Ad for Jaeger-LeCoultre watches in the magazine “Plaisir de France,” March 1948.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is a prestigious Swiss luxury watch and clock manufacturer, founded by Antoine LeCoultre in 1833. It is renowned for its precision engineering, innovation, and craftsmanship. Jaeger-LeCoultre is often referred to as the “watchmaker’s watchmaker” due to its significant contributions to horology. It has a rich history of inventions and patents, including the world’s smallest movement and one of the most complicated wristwatches.

 

Some of the watchmaker’s iconic collections include: Reverso, known for its unique swiveling case; Polaris, a modern sports watch; Master Control, dress watches with signature functions; and Atmos, a clock that operates with minimal energy, like perpetual motion.
