Jaeger-LeCoultre is a high-end Swiss watch and clock manufacturer that was founded by Antoine LeCoultre in 1833, when, following his invention of a machine to cut watch pinions from steel, LeCoultre started a small watchmaking workshop in Le Sentier, where he eventually gained wide-spread noteriety for his advanced horological skills and in creating high-quality timepieces. By 1844, he succeeded in invented the world's most precise measuring instrument at the time, called the Millionomètre. By1847 he had created a keyless system to rewind and set watches and was eventually awarded a gold medal for his develpments in timepiece precision and mechanisation an honour he had achieved at the first Universal Exhibition, in London, Britain.

In 1866,  Antoine, in partnership with his son, Elie LeCoultre, established the Vallée de Joux's manufacture centre, LeCoultre & Cie and developed the first partially mechanised production processes for complicated movements (1870).
