Jaeger-LeCoultre was formerly a watchmaking company founded by Antoine Lecoultre in 1883, and its founder was a skillful craftsman. He invented a micrometer with measuring accuracy of11000 mm, which greatly improved the processing accuracy of clock parts. 185/kloc-0 won the gold medal at the World Expo held in Renton in. About 90 years later, Lacort's grandson David Lacott reached a cooperative relationship with Edmund Jaeger-Jaeger, a French manufacturer of precision navigation timepieces.
1992, Jaeger-LeCoultre made a second-order watch (1 order = 2.256mm) with a Guinness record, which shocked the watch industry. 1953, Queen Elizabeth II wore an all-platinum Jaeger-LeCoultre watch with diamonds. In the 1920s and 1930s, the shockproof and shockproof flip watches designed by Jaeger-LeCoultre for polo players became the signature series of Jaeger-LeCoultre, which lasted for a long time. 1982, the atmospheric clock invented by Jaeger-LeCoultre made great achievements for Jaeger-LeCoultre.
When it comes to Swiss watches, we can think of a long list of beautiful names: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Polaroid, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Rolex, Zippo and so on. They all have prominent status, glorious history and expensive social status. The name of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, like many famous Swiss watches, consists of the surnames of two founders. Anthony Lacott set up his own watch factory in Lu Gu, Jura Mountains, Switzerland in 1833, which is the predecessor of Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch Factory. He knows the truth that "gear is the soul of a good watch", and the gear parts he made are of high quality, which quickly won the favor of the watch industry. 1900, his grandson Jacques David Legut took over the family business. He cooperated with Edmund Jaeger, a French watchmaker and a manufacturer of precision navigation timepieces. Their friendship and cultural inclusiveness gave birth to the brand Jaeger Jaeger. 1953, Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch Factory manufactured a futuristic watch with Jaeger-LeCoultre 497 movement. This watch has an energy reserve display at 9 o'clock, eliminating the traditional devices such as the crown for winding. "Futurematic" watch is the world's first self-winding watch without a chain crown. [ 1]

At the beginning of the 20th century, Lecourt's grandson cooperated with Edmund Yeager, a French timekeeper, to form the watch brand their under their surnames. 1844, Lekot invented a micrometer with a measuring accuracy of11000 mm, which greatly improved the processing accuracy of its watch parts, and won the gold medal of the London World Expo in 185 1 year. 1907, jaeger-lecoultre introduced the thinnest mechanical watch core in the world, and in10/year 1929, it introduced a micro-mechanical watch core which set a Guinness record, and the first second-order watch (1 =2.256 mm). This watch put 74 parts into the space of 3.4×4.85× 14 mm, which shocked the watch industry. In addition to watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre also has Atmos, an air clock developed by 1928. It uses the contraction and expansion of air as energy source, and can run for 48 hours every 65438 0 degree temperature change, and can run for 600 years under normal temperature difference. It takes one month to make each air clock and several weeks to adjust it. This air clock later became a gift from the Swiss government to the state guests.
193 1 year, jaeger-lecoultre launched the classic shockproof high-end flip watch Reverso for polo players. The surface of this watch can be turned 180 degrees and turned to the back to avoid impact damage. This innovation was immediately loved by athletes, and flip watches became a famous series of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches. 1945, Jaeger-LeCoultre successfully developed the first alarm clock watch Memovox. This watch is wound by hand and timed by the central dial. In 1960s, it was changed to automatic winding with calendar. Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger is a model of precision products. The movement is very complicated and engraved with the signature of the watchmaker. Every watch has to undergo 1000 hour shockproof and temperature resistance test before leaving the factory. Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater is a classic among the classics. This watch is carved in platinum and has extremely rich sound quality. At the position of 12, you can see the minute rack and the four-minute hammer; At 9 o'clock, there is a clock spring box and a governor; Minutes and hands are at 3 o'clock. The hammer is exquisitely designed and light. By accurately determining the strike position, we can get the purest piano timbre and successfully have seven partials. The movement of this watch can store electricity 15 days.
At present, Jaeger-LeCoultre has more than 900 employees, and it is one of the largest watch factories in the world, and it is also one of the biggest watch factories in the world. After 170 years of development, Jaeger-LeCoultre has owned more than 200 patents for watch design, which has made great contributions to the development of watch industry. At the same time, it is also one of the few watchmaking companies that export movements. Many western high-end watch brands choose watches made by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
