完整圖錄內容
- The Master Grand Reveil traces its roots to 1989, when the firm sought to revive traditional watchmaking amidst the quartz crisis. Their ingenious idea was to combine their iconic Memovox alarm with a perpetual calendar. The resulting ref. 180.1.99 Grand Reveil was cased in precious metals only.
- This particular example in yellow gold preserved in exceptional condition carries on Jaeger-LeCoultre's mastery of traditional watchmaking achievement that sparked a renaissance amidst turbulent times. Its rare alarm and calendar complications make the Master Grand Reveil a highly distinctive timepiece.
- Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.
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.
