Extra information
Jaeger-LeCoultre - In 1833 thirty-year-old Antoine LeCoultre, son of Vallee de Joux watchmaker Jacques LeCoultre, opened a small factory in the town of Le Sentier. In any event, LeCoultre soon proved himself to be a gifted watchmaker, but an even morebrilliant inventor. LeCoultre movements were highly regarded.
In 1925, the grandson of the firm's founder, David LeCoultre, merged his company with that of Edmond Jaeger, the exclusive supplier of watch movements to Cartier. This is when the modern company known as Jaeger-LeCoultre first came into existence.Incredibly enough, up to this point, Jaeger-LeCoultre had not sold any watches under its own name. The merger, however, prompted further technical innovations, not the least of which was a case made from stainless steel, as well as the creation of thesmallest mechanical movement in the world, which weighed less than one gram.
Every single component in a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is hand-finished, produced in-house, and this in turn results in strict quality control. As a result, Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are recognized as being among the very finest hand-crafted watchesavailable.

- Sobre el artistaJaeger-LeCoultre es una marca de relojes de Suiza. Fue establecido por primera vez por Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881) en 1833, debido a la invención de una máquina capaz de producir alfileres para relojes. LeCoultre era un inventor y se había enseñado a sí mismo a producir relojes desde cero. Después del establecimiento de su primer taller, la invención del milionómetro siguió en 1844. Esta era una máquina para la medición precisa de los componentes más pequeños de los relojes. En 1866, LeCoultre y su hijo Elie decidieron llevar todas las habilidades necesarias para construir relojes bajo un mismo techo e instalaron una máquina de vapor para este propósito exacto. Hoy en día, la empresa todavía produce relojes y relojes. Sus precios varían entre 5000 euros para un modelo más simple, hasta algunas toneladas de euros para diseños más elaborados y exclusivos.
