Antoine LeCoultre opened his workshop in 1833, and by 1866 his large, modern atelier became recognized as the first manufacture in Switzerland's Valle de Joux. The Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, or JLC, was born in 1925 when Jacques-David LeCoultre (Antoine's grandson) and French watchmaker Edmond Jaeger merged their companies. With more than 1,000 employees Jaeger-LeCoultre is today the largest employer in the Valle de Joux, as it was in the nineteenth century, and it is one of the few companies that produces its own cases, dials, hands, movements, etc.�

Handsome and refined in every regard, this Polaris by Jaeger-LeCoultre will make a dashing addition to your collection.

First let's consider this timepiece's capabilities. As an exercise in modernist minimalism, this watch embodies the beauty of simple magnificence in watchmaking -how nice to have a watch that focuses upon telling the time, plain and simple.

As a visual consideration, applied Arabic numerals and wedge hour markers move the eye inward to the beautifully rendered black-colored dial with minute track.

While you can use the crown at 4 to set the time, the crown found at 2 is used to operate the internal rotating bezel, or, rehaut, which can measure countdown times for everyday tasks or dive times. Both of the crowns are push / pull.

The stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter, 11.2 mm in height, and rests upon a fashion-forward black rubber strap with a stainless steel folding buckle.�

A lovely exhibition caseback allows you to see the self-winding automatic movement in all of its glory. Jaeger-LeCoultre's caliber 898 beats at 28,800 vph, possesses 30 jewels, and delivers a 40-hour power reserve.

Additional features of note include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a 100 m / 10 atm water resistance at the time of production.
