Used Jaeger-LeCoultre Watches For Sale

Jaeger-LeCoultre was founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre after he invented a machine that could cut watch pinions from steel. It was this invention that induced him to set up a watchmaking workshop. The Swiss luxury watchmaker based his operation in Le Sentier, and it was from here that LeCoultre started to develop his skills as a horologist by creating top quality timepieces.

Eleven years later, he created the then most precise measuring instrument in the world, which was known as the Millionmetre. A few years after that, in 1851, LeCoultre was awarded a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in London for his work on timepiece mechanisation and precision.

In 1903, when LeCoultre & Cie was being run by Jacques-David LeCoultre, Antoine’s grandson, he accepted a challenge from watchmaker Edmond Jaeger to create a collection of ultra-thin pocket watches. This led to an eventual collaboration between the two where all Jaeger movements, which were produced by LeCoultre, would be exclusive to Cartier, the French Jewellers. This would be for a period of fifteen years. Fast forward to 1937, in which year LeCoultre and Jaeger formed Jaeger-LeCoultre.
