Our Maison

In 1833, in the heart of a remote valley, a brilliant inventor named Antoine LeCoultre created a small workshop where extraordinary timepieces were handcrafted in a fierce spirit of innovation. The workshop would go on to become Jaeger-LeCoultre.

General information

A true Manufacture from the ground up

From the outset, movement precision and technique have been at the heart of the Grande Maison’s goal, which is located in the quiet and peaceful enclave of the Vallée de Joux, also known as the “valley of watchmaking complications”.
