From the Archives: Visiting the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture in Le Sentier, Switzerland

Visiting the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture is one of those things that every watchlifestyler should do at least once in their lifetime. Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the most legendary watch brands with a very rich history that dates back to 1833, when in the remote mountains of Jura, inventor Antoine LeCoultre revolutionized the art of horology and turned the Vallée de Joux into the cradle of fine Swiss watchmaking.

Since it was introduced in 1992, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Control collection has been defined by technical rigor and stylistic restraint, its constant evolution imbued with the Maison’s deep respect for tradition and constant quest for innovation. In 2020, La Grande Maison relaunches the collection, drawing inspiration from the classic round watches of the 1950s, such as the Futurematic, PowerMatic, and Memovox models, and adding a dash of 21st-century flair.

Watches & Wonders 2020: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Red-Wine Dial

Almost 90 years ago, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the iconic Reverso in 1931. A watch that became an icon during the Art Deco era and a classic of the 20th-century. As an object that so deftly synthesized form and function, it has become one of the most immediately recognizable watches of all time, looking as fresh and modern today as when it first appeared. A perfect watch that brings a lot of value and that even in its large size can be easily worn by a man or a woman. The epitome of a unisex timepiece.

SIHH 2019: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Burgundy Red. Live Pictures & Pricing.

Paying tribute to the original and first Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso launched in 1931 comes a new iteration of the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in stainless steel this time sporting an intriguing burgundy red dial. In a hue that could also be described as ‘ox-blood’ color, the watch is equipped with a Casa Fagliano matching red strap. Created in the 1931 as a convenient watch for polo players, the purpose of the Reverso was to be able to maintain the front of the watch protected during a polo match by virtue of swiveling and exposing a solid case back on the front. A perfect example of the Art Deco movement, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Burgundy Red is one of the sexiest Reversos out there.

Insider: Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire Rose Gold. Accurate to 1/6th of a Second and Beautiful as Beautiful it gets.

The Duomètre collection is one of our favorite collections from Jaeger-LeCoultre due to its exceptionally beautiful and highly complicated timepeices. The unique technical nature and distinctive styling of the Duomètre places it in the most exclusive echelons of watchmaking. Based on an unprecedented concept nicknamed 'Dual-Wing', its movement is composed of two separate watch mechanisms connected by a shared regulating organ. A true masterpiece of horology, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire ref. 6042522 is a perfect interpretation of the revolutionary ‘Dual-Wing’ concept, featuring two independent power reserves, one of which, in this case, is devoted solely to precise time measurement while the other takes care of the functional displays. Fitted with a 42 mm 18K pink gold case and a gorgeous granulated silvered dial, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire raises in full glory just like the moon goes from its waxing gibbous to a full moon.
