Jaeger-LeCoultre - Have you ever worn a real watch?
Based in Le Sentier, with hundreds of inventions and over 1200 calibres to its name, including the world’s smallest calibre, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s relationship with innovation has resulted in the birth of some of the most prized, luxury watches in history. Founded by Antoine LeCoultre in 1833 and ever since, the company has produced over 1,242 different calibres, registered approximately 400 patents and is behind the creation of hundreds of inventions, which is why they are still a leading player in the watchmaking world. The brand has always represented itself as a part of a rich and eventful legacy, committed to utmost excellence to reach new heights of innovation. This very philosophy has defined their success for centuries.
Not only have they mastered the art of creating new technological marvels but have retained their distinct style in almost all of their watches. Jaeger-LeCoultre has designed some of the world’s most complicated wristwatches of the old and modern era, carefully crafted with intricate details to make them perfect that never go unnoticed. The collections employed under Jaeger-LeCouture watches are Reverso, Polaris, Duometre, Hybris Mechanica, Master, and Rendez-Vous.
The Reverso
Reverso’s distinct rectangular shape with sleek lines are inspired by the Art Deco movement from the 1930s, a movement combining modern style with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. The motive behind the concept of this unique collection was a direct challenge from a polo-playing British Army officer stationed in India. The challenge was to create a timepiece that can swivel on its axis and provide a strong cover for the timepiece from the mallet blows. This swivel now offers an ideal setting for personalised engraving, setting or enamelling. After celebrating 60 years of Reverso, the Grande Maison created the Duetto/Duo concept which enables a second dial on the back. The Reverso is available in three distinct collections: One, Classic and Tribute.
The Master
With a rewarding history, the timeless Master collection offers a set of handsome, high-performance round timepieces for men that showcases the unique expertise for which Jaeger-LeCoultre watches is famous. A combination of sophistication and distinctive personality, there are three collections with their own distinctive characteristics and appeal—Master Ultra Thin, Master Control and Master Grande Tradition—ensure there is something for every fine watchmaking enthusiast.
The Rendez-Vous
Equipped with various complications and complimented with extreme sophistication, the Endowed collection is an amalgamation of fine watchmaking and pleasing aesthetics, made by one of the first Maisons to craft watches for women. Mother-of-pearl and fine guilloché dials, finished with floral hands that indicate the hours, conceal a selection of hypnotizing complications: tourbillon, day/night indicator, moon phases... A collection of the utmost delicacy, created for the 21st century. Precious, sophisticated and resolutely feminine, the Rendez-Vous collection perfectly masters the balance between intense beauty and watchmaking mechanisms.
The Polaris
Taking its inspiration from the Memovox Polaris diving watch in 1968, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris collection carries sportiness and elegance together. With a polished and brushed casing, the Polaris collection is equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s automatic movement.
A brushed and polished case houses an automatic Jaeger‑LeCoultre movement and dial featuring a combination of sunray-patterned, finely grained and opaline finishes. While the Jaeger‑LeCoultre Polaris is more about doing than being, the line offers a range of useful everyday functions, including date, alarm, chronograph and world time chronograph, all produced and assembled at the Manufacture. Both the black and blue dial versions of the Jaeger‑LeCoultre Polaris are available with a choice of steel bracelet, leather strap or a rubber strap with the new “Clous de Paris” hobnail pattern. The quintessential tool watch for the modern-day explorer.
Hybris Mechanica
Reflecting the passion and determination of the watchmakers from the Grande Maison, the Hybris Mechanica collection is a piece of philosophy. Going by the motto of “Pushing the limits of watchmaking”, this collection is a sample of Antoine LeCoultre’s spirit of innovation. A limited series collection, the Hybris Mechanica is a result of back-breaking research and development. The advanced complications and years of watchmaking experience provide this collection with the heritage and identity of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches.
