The notable inventions of the Jaeger-LeCoultre company that changed history

Since its inception, the company has produced over 1200 calibers, a variety of patents, and hundreds of inventions registered in its name, earning the company a unique reputation in the world of watches. Among the notable inventions of Jaeger-LeCoultre are several important ones that changed the face of the world of watches. :

-  In 1844, the company invented the millionometer. In fact, it was the first device in history capable of measuring the micron, which allowed for the incredibly precise manufacture of the various watch parts. Although this production was never patented because there was no patent registration system in Switzerland at that time, the unique composition of the invention was kept secret within the company for over 50 years, until it was exhibited at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900. .

 - In 1847, the company released a keyless clock to the world. It was a simple and reliable winding and time-setting system, which required a small push to operate a miniature lever, allowing for a smooth transition from one function to another. Again, the company did not file a patent, which allowed other competing companies to quickly implement the system in their own companies. .

-  In 1866, the company made history when it began producing miniature calibers that enabled additional functions and features beyond the display of hours, minutes and seconds. In 1891, Jaeger-LeCoultre incorporated the new developments into a new series of watches. , which also included calendars valid for many years into the future, a chronograph mechanism that allows for a stopwatch combined with a display clock, and more. .

Leading models in the world of luxury watches

Over the years, the company has produced Jaeger-Lecoultre A wide range of notable models that have become particularly popular in the world of luxury watches :

 Reverso: A unique watch created in 1931 that was resistant to the significant knocks required in polo matches. An initial prototype of the watch was created when a group of polo players raised a demand to produce a watch that could meet the demands of the game. .

 Duoplan: A watch created in 1925, its main goal was to combine miniature and precision in a good and clever way. The demand at that time was for small wristwatches, which made it very difficult to maintain the reliability of the mechanism. The Duoplan watch did this in a smart and reliable way. .

 Joaillerie 101 - In 1929, after the technology in the Duplan watch was developed, the company brought the Caliber 101 watch to the market, all 74 parts of which in the original watch (today there are 98), weighed only one gram. .

- Atmos - These watches are near-perpetual motion watches, which consume almost no energy, and do not require human intervention. The mechanism draws energy from small changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure in the environment, and can operate for years without intervention. The mechanism includes a capsule filled with a mixture of temperature-sensitive gases, with a fluctuation of 1 degree Celsius sufficient to store enough energy to provide the watch with two days of autonomy .
