Replica Watches: The History of Jaeger-leCoultre
The Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre was founded by an ingenious inventor and watchmaker Antoine-LeCoultre in 1833.
In 1847, Antoine-LeCoultre created a revolutionary keyless watch system. There was no need anymore to rewind and set watches with a key. This simple invention was a pushbutton that triggered a lever to switch from one function to another.
Parisian Edmond Jaeger played a pioneering role in giving the birth to the unique Jaeger-LeCoultre style. For this brilliant watchmaker and designer, the aesthetics of a watch had to reflect its inner beauty. Enriched by the values of Art Deco style, this philosophy still accompanies all Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces.
Created in the 1930s, the first Jaeger and LeCoultre wristwatches were filled with the values of Art Deco. Deeply attached to the principles of hand craftsmanship, they favored a return to pure lines and timeless shapes.
After World War II, to keep pace with the time, Jaeger-LeCoultre focused its activity on the round watches oriented for vivid personality. Precision, functionality, sturdiness and user-friendliness were the watchwords of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Created in 1946, the first automatic watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre was immediately followed by the Futurematic without any winding crown. First launched in 1950, the Memovox line was widen in 1956 by the famous diverРІР‚в„ўs model named Polaris. Other timepieces such as the Geophysic and Geomatic chronographs also became a legend in the watchmaking industry.
Since its founding, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created and produced more than 1000 different calibers featuring a wide range of shapes and levels of complexity. A part of these movements has been purchased by the biggest and most prestigious Swiss, French and German watch companies, including Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Lange & Sohne, Cartier and Audemars Piguet. Over 200 patented inventions have contributed to the progress of Swiss watchmaking in the field of movements, as well as to that of cases, bracelets, dials and watch functions.
