Jaeger LeCoultre Master - The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Collection

The Jaeger LeCoultre watch manufacturing company was founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre in a small workshop in Switzerland. He made great strides in the industry and was awarded a gold medal in 1851 for his work with timepiece mechanization and precision. It was not until 1866, that his son, Eli LeCoultre, transformed the small workshop into a manufacture to allow employees to pool their knowledge under one roof. In the following thirty years, LeCoultre created over 350 different timepiece calibers, 128 were equipped with chronograph functions and 99 of these had repeater mechanisms. The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Collection is just one of the lines of high-end luxury watches manufactured by this company today.

Today there is a variety of choices in the Jaeger LeCoultre Master series of watches. The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Series Geographic comes in 18 carat rose or white gold on the strap. This discontinued version is 38 millimeters with a display for cities of the world and a second time zone as well as automatic movement. The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Memovox is a modern version of the original Memovox produced in 1956 that made history as the first watch with an alarm. It also comes in 18 carat gold rose or steel and has fast date setting, inertia balance and ceramic beads.

The Jaeger LeCoultre Master series also includes the Geographic models, most commonly offered in stainless steel, with automatic movements and cities of the world display.
