About Jaeger LeCoultre:

Jaeger LeCoultre is one of the most prestigious watchmakers of all time. The brand probably ranks among the top 5 or the top 7 luxury brands in the world. Its history started in 1833, which makes Jaeger LeCoultre one of the oldest Swiss luxury watch brands and manufacturers in existence today.

Jaeger LeCoultre may not be a member of the “Holy Trinity” of watches (Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Audemars Piguet) but probably makes movements second to none.

As far as movements are concerned, maybe it’s just the “Holy Trinity”, A. Lange & Söhne, Rolex, Omega and Zenith, that are as good as Jaeger LeCoultre. In terms of prestige and reputation, Jaeger LeCoultre should probably rank above Breguet and Blancpain.

This brand is very tech heavy – it likes to manufacture technically very advanced timepieces with functions well beyond and well above the basic time functions. Jaeger LeCoultre is known for its technical wizardry, intricate functions, groundbreaking innovations, and in-house made movements.

Did you know that in the past, Jaeger LeCoultre supplied and sold their movements to other prestigious Swiss luxury watch brands, and manufacturers, such as Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin and Patek Phillipe? This says a lot about Jaeger LeCoultre’s excellence and quality.

A few brands such as Rolex, Omega and Breitling submit their watches to the COSC institute in order to get them COSC certified (COSC = Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute), but Jaeger LeCoultre doesn’t submit their watches to COSC – Jaeger LeCoultre has their own test. Jaeger LeCoultre is world famous for its 1000 Hours Control test.

COSC tests the movements without their cases. Jaeger LeCoultre tests their finished movements and finished watches for 1000 hours to imitate real life conditions. During those 1000 hours, each and every Jaeger LeCoultre must pass through several tough tests and trials to ensure maximum quality. This makes Jaeger LeCoultre’s watches among the very best you can find on the market today.
