1903: When LeCoultre met Jaeger
In 1903, the Parisian Admond Jaeger (1858-1922) set Swiss Watchmakers the challenge of producing the ultra-thin calibres he had invented. Jacques-David LeCoultre (1875-1948), 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 the birth of Jaeger-LeCoultre brand in 1937.
