Located in the vallée de joux in switzerland, jaeger-lecoultre is one of the only manufactures to create, develop, decorate and produce each of its timepieces in its own workshops. In a desire to create each watch down to the smallest detail, since its foundation, the manufacture brings together under one roof all the professions, techniques and technologies that are at the origin of exceptional pieces of haute horlogerie. Meeting. Edmond jaeger and jacques-david lecoultre. In 1903, the meeting between the frenchman edmond jaeger and the swiss jacques-david lecoultre would forever change the world of watchmaking. The two men managed to combine french style and swiss technique, an approach that still prevails at la grande maison today.
