Jaeger-LeCoultre Timepieces

In 1883 an inventor and self-taught watchmaker, Antoine-LeCoultre, founded his first workshop, after he invented a matching to produce watchmaking pinions. In 1866 Antoine and his son, Elie, built the first Manufacture in the Vallee de Joux. This is where many high luxury timepiece makers call home to this day. In 1903 The Parisian Edmond Jaeger set Swiss watchmakers the challenge of producing the ultra-thin calibres he had invented. Jacques-David LeCoultre, the founder's grandson, devoted himself to this task with passion. The cooperation and the subsequent friendship between these two men was to give rise to a range of horological wonders, and then to birth of the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand in 1937. Today, JLC watch collections include the Reverso, Master Control, Master Compressor, Duometre, AMOVOX, Atmos, Hybris Mechanica, and Haute Joallerie, not to mention the new and highly anticipated Rendez-vous ladies watch with diamonds. Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces are available exclusively at King Jewelers in Nashville, Tennessee and Aventura, Florida.
