won a gold medal at the World Expo. About 9 years later, Lacott's grandson, David Lacott, reached a cooperative relationship with Edmund Jaeger-Jaeger, a French manufacturer of precision navigation timepieces.
in p>1992, Jaeger-LeCoultre made a Guinness record miniature movement 2-order watch (1-order =2.256 milli), which shocked the watch industry. In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II of England wore a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch set with diamonds in all platinum. In the 192s and 193s, the shockproof and shock-resistant flip watch designed by Jaeger-LeCoultre Company for polo players became a signature series of Jaeger-LeCoultre, which lasted for a long time. In 1982, the ATMOS clock developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre Company created another brilliance.
When it comes to Swiss watches, we can think of a long list of beautiful names: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Bogart, Count, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Rolex, Zippo and so on. They all have a prominent position, a glorious history, and expensive social status. The name of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, like many famous Swiss watches, consists of the surnames of two founders. Antoine
Lecoultre (Anthony Lacott) set up his own watch factory in Rugu, the Jura Mountains in Switzerland in 1833. That 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 excellent quality, which soon won the favor of the watch industry. In 19, his grandson Jacques
David-Le Coultre (Jacques-David Legut) took over the family business, and he cooperated with Edmund
Jaeger (Edmund Jaeger Jaeger), a French watchmaker and manufacturer of precision navigation timepieces. Mutual friendship and cultural inclusiveness have produced the brand Jaeger-LeCoultre Clocks. In 1953, Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch Factory created the "Futurematic" watch with Jaeger-LeCoultre 497 movement in it. This watch has an energy reserve display at 9 o'clock. The traditional devices such as the crown used for winding are cancelled. "Futurematic" watch is the world's first self-winding watch without a chain crown.
Edit this brand story
The famous Jaeger-LeCoultre watch in Switzerland ranks tenth among the top ten watches in the world. The brand originated from a watchmaking workshop founded by Antoine Lecourt in Jura Valley, Switzerland in 1833. At the beginning of the 2th century, Lecourt's grandson cooperated with Edmund Yeager, a French timekeeper, and formed Jaeger-LeCoultre, a watch brand with their surnames. In 1844, Lecourt invented a micrometer with a measuring accuracy of 1/1 mm, which greatly improved the processing accuracy of its watch parts and won the gold medal at the London World Expo in 1851. In 197, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the thinnest mechanical watch core in the world, and in 1929, it made a Guinness record of 11 miniature mechanical watch cores, and introduced the first 2-order watch (1-order =2.256 mm). This watch shocked the watch industry by putting 74 parts into a space of 3.4×4.85×14 mm. In addition to watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre also developed the air clock Atmos in 1928. It uses air contraction and expansion as energy source, and it can run for 48 hours every time the temperature changes by 1 degree, and it can walk for 6 years under normal temperature difference conditions. The production of each air clock takes one month, and it takes several weeks to adjust. This kind of air clock later became a gift from the Swiss government to the state guests.
in p>1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the classic shock-proof high-end flip watch Reverso for polo players. The surface of this watch can be turned over 18 degrees and turned to the back to avoid being damaged by impact. This innovation was immediately loved by athletes, and the flip watch became a famous series of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches. In 1945, Jaeger-LeCoultre successfully developed the first alarm watch Memovox. This watch is manually wound and the central dial is timed. In the 196s, it was changed to automatic winding with a calendar. Master series watches developed by Jaeger-Jaeger-LeCoultre are models of precision products, and their movements are very complicated, engraved with the signatures of watchmakers. Before leaving the factory, each watch has to undergo a shock-proof and temperature-resistant test for up to 1 hours. Jaeger-lecoultre Master
Minute Repeater
Minute repeater is a classic among the classics. This watch is carved in platinum, and its sound quality is extremely rich. At 12 o'clock, you can see the minute rack and the quarter hammer; At 9 o'clock, there is a clock spring box and a governor; Minute and hour hammers are available at 3 o'clock. The striking hammer is carefully and lightly designed. By accurately determining the striking position, the purest piano timbre is obtained, and seven partial notes are successfully possessed. The movement of this watch can store power for 15 days.
at present, Jaeger-LeCoultre has more than 9 employees, which is one of the largest watch factories in the world, and also one of the watch factories with the largest heritage of watch technology in the world. After more than 17 years of development, Jaeger-LeCoultre has owned more than 2 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 high-end watch brands in the West choose watches made by Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Jaeger LeCoultre's brand-new Master Date Tourbillon
39mm tourbillon calendar watch. Shows the exquisite watchmaking process!
this latest watch perfectly explains the brand connotation of Jaeger LeCoutre's constant pursuit of perfection and perfection. The dial is made of antique and elegant ivory color, and the hour scale and hands are all finely polished by hand. In order to show the artistic achievements of a work in every tiny detail, Jaeger LeCoutre specially adopted a sapphire crystal transparent watch bottom cover, which perfectly presented the movement of the Master Date Tourbillon
39mm tourbillon calendar watch. In this latest watch, its tourbillon adjuster is matched with a high-precision movement equipped with a large balance wheel that vibrates 28,8 times per hour. Master
date tourbillion39
tourbillon calendar watch is equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre 978 automatic tourbillon movement with titanium frame and high inertia balance wheel. The outer ring of the balance balance wheel is equipped with four screws for adjusting inertia, which effectively enhances the stability of the adjustment function and is completely unaffected by the impact force.
in addition, the energy loss caused by the friction of parts is also improved by adopting the gear tooth design named "spyr", and the unique shape makes the energy transfer smoother. The escapement has also been changed to a more compact design, so that it can be properly installed in the limited space of the tourbillon frame. The self-winding movement adopts unidirectional winding design, because the results of long-term follow-up research indicate that the speed of unidirectional winding is twice as fast as that of bidirectional winding device in actual wear.
as for tourbillon, which weighs only .28g, Jaeger Lecoute
engineers still choose titanium alloy which is hard to machine, but its light texture can make the watch run more accurately. Jaeger-Jaeger-LeCoultre's elaborate tourbillon frame has polished trimmings and is finely sandblasted; The arched escapement bridge also fits perfectly with the circular tourbillon frame. The integrally formed pendulum and bracket are made of 22K rose gold, with relief decoration and light-shade contrast similar to those on medals.
dates from 1 to 31 are sequentially arranged in the inner ring of the dial, and the date pointer is indicated by the third small pointer in the center. This date display device looks simple and well-designed, but in order to prevent the date hands from blocking the tourbillon device with a width of about seven days below the dial, Jaeger-LeCoultre clockmakers and designers have found another way to divide the date from the 13th to the 18th, so how will the date hands change during the middle of the month? It will speed up the date conversion in just a few hours, so that the owner of the Master
Tourbillon watch can have the correct date display when he wakes up the next day. But there must be some people who will wait until late at night on the 13th of every month, just to get a glimpse of this ingenious idea. Tourbillon, who keeps spinning, rotates once every minute. In tourbillon's world, every moment is amazing, which makes time enter eternity, and the ultimate clock skill is the magic to create miracles.
There is only one Jaeger-LeCoultre Enamel Lotus Minute Repeater in the world
This is an unusual and extremely complicated minute repeater, and there is only one in the world. Lotus Master Minute
Repeater's three-minute watch makes the ultimate enamel micro-painting technology and advanced watchmaking technology subtly integrated, showing Jaeger-LeCoultre's peak achievement as a top watchmaker.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
In p>21, Jaeger-LeCoultre presented a grand exhibition
"Jaeger-LeCoultre's magnificent enamel, an eternal art treasure" in six cities in China, and specially made a lotus Master Minute Repeater with a limited quantity of one in the world for this event, paying tribute to the long-standing China culture.
The lotus dial made of enamel is full of infinite vitality. No matter its elegant shape or its full color, it has the aesthetic characteristics of China traditional painting. Equally amazing is that this is an unusual and extremely complex three-minute watch. The extreme enamel micro-painting technology and advanced watchmaking technology are subtly combined, which shows Jaeger-LeCoultre's peak achievement as a top watchmaker.
Lotus micro-painting enamel: The master of enamel micro-painting, who has made great achievements through years of tempering, devoted time and perseverance to perfectly present the elegant form of lotus on the dial with rare traditional techniques. Yellow, which represents the exclusive color of ancient emperors in China, is used as the background color of enamel dial to set off the gorgeous blooming lotus, and its glory style and magnificent momentum are naturally unparalleled.
Micro-painted enamel dial can be described as the perfect crystallization of a long process, and it has long been an artistic treasure that connoisseurs and collectors dream of because of its extraordinary artistic value and its characteristics of never deforming and fading. Jaeger-lecoultre's masterpieces of micro-painting enamel are all made of top-quality enamel glaze, and are created by talented Jaeger-lecoultre enamelers, which are highly respected by the world.
first, coat the dial with transparent white enamel to create a bright background color; Then, dip the colored pigments containing different metal oxides with a brush to describe the patterns and textures of lotus petals, stamens and stems; Then the enamel is repeatedly calcined until it finally shows the desired color effect. Each calcination is carried out at a high temperature of 8 to 85 degrees, which is the most risky step in the whole enamel making process. In addition, in order to ensure the perfect mechanical performance of the watch, every stroke of the master of enamel painting needs to be extremely accurate, and the error is controlled within .2 mm. Each process needs to be carefully crafted, and the time should be perfectly controlled. It takes more than 1 hours to present the natural beauty on the square-inch dial.
Nowadays, few schools teach the traditional technique of micro-painting enamel, and high-quality enamel is becoming a rare treasure. Jaeger-LeCoultre not only has a long tradition of making clocks and watches, but also devotes itself to carrying forward the oldest decorative art of clocks and watches, so that it can be handed down to the world forever.
minute repeater function: exquisitely crafted, extraordinary model
Jaeger-LeCoultre Lotus Master Minute
Repeater minute repeater watch not only shows the ultimate aesthetic achievement of enamel painting, but also represents an extraordinary model in the field of complex watchmaking technology.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch Factory combines the pure and noble lotus image in China culture with the crystal-clear and melodious ringtone of Master Minute
Repeater, presenting the world with a double perfect feeling of vision and hearing. Press the button at 9 o'clock to start the minute repeater function. By tapping the sound produced by the reed in the watch in turn, the hours, quarters and minutes are reported respectively. The mellow and pure ringing tone is a breakthrough achievement in the field of minute repeater watches, and the ringing sound produced by crystal reed can be comparable to that of famous musical instruments.
in order not to break the overall artistic aesthetic feeling presented by enamel painting on the dial, Jaeger-LeCoultre ingeniously removed the hour or minute display on the dial, and adopted two simple and implicit indication displays instead: the torque indication released by the double clockwork is set at 4 o'clock, and the power storage display is set at 8 o'clock. Through the hollowed-out window on the right side of the dial, you can clearly see the operation of the regulator for measuring the beating speed of the hammer. This device with the minute repeater function gives people a refreshing feeling.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Lotus Master Minute
Repeater has a platinum case with a diameter of 44 mm and a Jaeger-LeCoultre 947 manual winding movement. With a black alligator strap. Limited production of 1 piece.
Jaeger-LeCoultre 947 has a 15-day power reserve, which can be described as an unparalleled work among multifunctional and complex watches. The power storage function of up to 15 days is unique to the minute repeater, so it is necessary to equip with a unique display device, which is located at 8 o'clock on the dial and displays the stored power of the watch with numbers from 15 to 1. Another amazing thing is that the 947 movement is equipped with a mechanical device for measuring the accuracy of clockwork-torque meter. It can display the torque area where the watch can reach the best running state to assist the display of power storage. The 4 o'clock position of the dial is a clockwork torque indicator, which is displayed in a digital range between and 8.
