Notes

Founded in 1833 in Le Sentier, Switzerland, Jaeger-LeCoultre is celebrated as the “watchmaker’s watchmaker” for supplying movements and expertise to many of Switzerland’s most prestigious maisons, including Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet. Known for technical mastery and elegant design, the brand has produced over 1,200 calibres, including groundbreaking innovations such as the world’s smallest movement, the Atmos clock powered by air, and the revolutionary Reverso (1931), a reversible watch originally designed for polo players. With a legacy of precision, artistry, and invention, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to embody sophistication and ingenuity in haute horlogerie.This Jaeger-LeCoultre Géomatic Chronometer stands out as a rare survivor of the maison's mid-century push into precision self-winding timekeeping, its chronometer certification and globe-embossed case back marking it as a genuine technical flagship rather than a purely decorative dress watch.

*Strauss & Co recommends a service, and Strauss & Co does not guarantee the future working of the movement
