Catalogue Essay
- In 2012, Jaeger-LeCoultre created the series of modern Deep Sea references. The entire line, including this Chronograph model present ,takes inspiration from the brand’s very first dive watch, the Deep Sea Alarm, a cult classic from the 1960s.
- This vintage-inspired diver’s chronograph comes in generous proportions, befitting to a watch meant to be worn by actual divers. Being a true utilitarian watch, the model is certified with a ISO 6425 professional diver's certification, also a first in Jaeger-LeCoultre history. The funky aperture in the center of the dial is an activation indicator of the chronograph function. This indicator was inspired by the historical Jaeger “Chronoflight” onboard instrument allows the wearer to see at a glance whether the disc shows that the chronograph is ready for use (white), in operation (half white/ half red), or stopped (red). An unique and fun module exclusively available on this reference.

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.
