Jaeger-LeCoultre is a Swiss luxury watchmaker founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre in Le Sentier, in the Vallée de Joux. Known as the ‘watchmaker’s watchmaker,’ Jaeger-LeCoultre has created over 1,400 different calibres and holds hundreds of patents.

The manufacture is one of the few fully integrated watchmakers, producing everything in-house from raw materials to finished timepieces. Its most famous creation, the Reverso, was designed in 1931 for polo players and features an ingenious reversible case.

Part of the Richemont Group, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to push the boundaries of horology with innovations in ultra-thin movements, perpetual calendars, and minute repeaters.
