Won a gold medal at the World Expo. 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 ATMOS clock developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre Company made great achievements.
When it comes to Swiss watches, we can think of a long list of nice names: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Ji Bo, Earl, 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. Antoine (Anthony's variant) (M.)
Lecoultre (Anthony Lacort) set up his own watch factory in Lu Gu, Swiss Jura Mountains 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 high quality, which quickly won the favor of the watch industry. 1900, his grandson Jacques
Jacques-David Legut took over the family business, and he cooperated with Edmund, a French watch manufacturer and a manufacturer of precision navigation timepieces.
Edmund Jaeger-Jaeger. Mutual friendship and cultural tolerance have created the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch brand. 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. Traditional devices such as crown for winding are eliminated. "Futurematic" watch is the world's first self-winding watch without a chain crown.
Edit this brand story
Switzerland's famous Jaeger-LeCoultre watch ranks tenth among the top ten watches in the world. The brand originated from Antoine Lecourt's watchmaking workshop founded in 1833 in Jura Valley, Switzerland. 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 LeCoutre's new master date is tourbillon.
39mm tourbillon calendar watch. Shows the exquisite watchmaking process!
This latest watch perfectly explains Jaeger LeCoutre's brand connotation of pursuing perfection and Excellence. The dial is antique ivory, and the hour markers and hands are finely polished by hand. In order to show the artistic achievements of a work in every tiny detail, Jaeger-LeCoultre specially adopted a sapphire crystal transparent watch back cover with the main date tourbillon.
The movement of the 39mm tourbillon calendar watch is perfectly presented. In this latest watch, its tourbillon adjuster is matched with a high-precision movement, which is equipped with a large balance wheel that vibrates 28,800 times per hour. grasp
Date tourbillon 39
Tourbillon calendar watch is equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre 978 automatic tourbillon movement, titanium frame and high inertia balance 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 design of gear teeth named "spyr" also improves the energy loss caused by the friction of parts, and the unique shape makes the energy transfer smoother. The escapement mechanism 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 tracking research show that in actual wear, the speed of unidirectional winding is twice that of bidirectional winding device.
As for tourbillon, which weighs only 0.28 grams, Jijiale.
Some engineers still choose titanium alloy, which is difficult to process, but its light texture can make the watch go more accurately. Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger The arch escapement bridge also fits perfectly with the circular tourbillon frame. The integrated pendulum and bracket are made of 22K rose gold, and the relief decoration and contrast between light and shade are similar to those on the medal.
The dates from 1 to 3 1 are arranged in the inner circle of the dial in turn, and the date hands are indicated by the third small hand 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 watchmakers and designers have found another way to divide the dates from 13 to 18, so how will the date hands change in the middle of each month? It will speed up the date conversion in just a few hours, so as to master.
The owner of tourbillon's watch can see the correct date when he wakes up the next day. But there must be some people who wait until late at night at 13 every month just to see the outstanding style of this ingenious idea. Tourbillon, which keeps spinning, rotates once every minute. In tourbillon's world, every moment is amazing, making time eternal, and the ultimate clock skill is the magic power to create miracles.

"Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger-Jaeger's magnificent enamel is an eternal artistic treasure", and a global limited edition of 65,438+0 Lotus Master Minute Repeater watches was specially created for this event, paying tribute to the long-standing culture of China.
The lotus dial made of enamel is full of infinite vitality. Both its elegant shape and its full color have the aesthetic characteristics of China traditional painting. Equally amazing is that this is an unusual and extremely complicated three-minute watch. The combination of the extreme enamel micro-painting technology and advanced watchmaking technology shows Jaeger-LeCoultre's peak achievement as a top watchmaker.
Lotus micro-painting enamel: years of tempering, achievement to perfection.
Jaeger-lecoultre's master of enamel micro-painting devoted his 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 the ancient emperors in China, serves as the background color of the enamel dial, setting off the gorgeous blooming lotus, and its glorious style and magnificent momentum are naturally unparalleled.
The micro-painted enamel dial is the perfect crystallization of a long process. With its extraordinary artistic value and the characteristics of never deforming and never fading, it has long been an artistic treasure that connoisseurs and collectors dream of. Jaeger-lecoultre's miniature enamel masterpieces are all made of top enamel glaze, which are created by talented Jaeger-lecoultre enamelists and are highly respected by the world.
First, the dial is painted with transparent white enamel to create a bright background; 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 the desired color effect is finally presented. Each calcination is carried out at a high temperature of 800 to 850 degrees, which is the most risky step in the whole enamel production 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 should be controlled within 0.2 mm. Every process needs to be carefully crafted and the time should be perfectly controlled. It takes more than 100 hours to present the beauty of nature on the square-inch dial.
At present, few schools teach the traditional skills 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.
