In the 1930s Jaeger-LeCoultre created a gorgeous watch for women. Nicknamed 'Etrier', French for stirrup, the original case was an unusually oriented rectangle fixed to the bracelet by two stirrup-shaped fastenings. This simple yet powerful design code allowed for endless declinations. The present lady’s yellow gold wristwatch is fitted with a very unusual wood bracelet that is perfectly integrated to the watch thanks to the specially designed gold endlinks fixed on the stirrup.
With its elegant inverted rectangular shaped case, this watch offers great presence on the wrist. This model, that was adopted by Hermès Paris, reminds us of an era when lady’s watches were significantly smaller than today, nonetheless its particular design displays a timeless stylishness which remains very contemporary.

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.
