Catalogue Essay
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Tourbillon cased in stainless steel exemplifies not only elegant proportions and technical finesse, but also a fine attention to details. Featuring a silvered dial with a clever design of an outer calendar ring, the 15th and 16th of the month is placed purposely with a distance to retain the ample display of a perfectly unobstructed view of the tourbillon. The Master Tourbillon ref. 146.8.34.S is certainly a discreet timepiece for the discerning collector of understated beauty. Offered by the original owner, the present example is preserved in excellent overall condition and accompanied by the full accessories.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Swiss | 1833Not all companies in the watchmaking field have been able to stand the test of time quite like Jaeger LeCoultre, also known as the "watchmaker's watchmaker." Founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre and originally named LeCoutre, the firm provided watchmaking's top brands, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, the high-grade, unfinished mechanical movements with which they completed their watches.
In the early 1900s, Cartier's watch supplier Edmond Jaeger sought out LeCoultre's help in creating the world's thinnest watches. The collaboration resulted in the creation of Cartier's earliest Tank and Santos watches, all housed with LeCoultre movements. The duo decided to merge in 1937, and the firm officially became the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand by which collectors know and adore it today. Some of the firm's most significant and important timepieces include the Reverso, the Memovox, the Atmos clock and, among modern watches, their Master Complications.
