The Jaeger le Coultre watch company is one of the oldest Swiss watchmakers. Antoine le Coultre opened a small factory in Le Sentier in 1833 where current factory remains. Le Coultre quickly built a reputation for quality and precision, so much so that he became the leading supplier of movements to the watch making industry in Switzerland. In 1925 Antoine's grandson, David, merged the company with that of Edmond Jaeger, which is when the current day company, Jaeger le Coultre came into existence.
