History
Origin Of Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre SA, or simply Jaeger-LeCoultre, is Swiss luxury watch and clock manufacturer based in Le Sentier, Switzerland. Founded in 1833 by Antonie LeCoultre, the company is famous for its hand made watch, designed and manufactured within its own workshops. It was also the first of its kind to introduce this approach to the watch making industry, revolutionizing the way watches are made today.
Introducing Duometre Mechanism
In 1881, the Manufacture created the Calibre 19/20RMSMI, a calibre with two barrels. Housed in a pocket watch, it was an inspiration for the Duometre collection both for its mechanism and its design.
Following this event, in 1903, a meeting between Jacques-David LeCoultre from Swiztzerland and Edmond Jaeger from France changed watch making forever as they had accomplished what no one else had tried before. Fusing French style with Swiss technique, an approach which still prevails at the Grande Maison today.
Design and Development of Duometre Quantieme Lunaire
Design
Furnished in vintage steel case and gradient blue dial matching the small-scale lined alligator strap, the Duometre Quantime Lunaire unveils the Duometre concept in style.

Development
Featuring the twin-barrel Calibre 381 – one dedicated to the time and the other to the complications, the reverse side of this watch reveals the mechanism of its finely decorated complication.

Care and Maintenance
Manual Winding
Being a manual-winding watch, it is recommended to wind your luxury watch every day in order to supply the movement with the power it required to run effectively over the following 24 hours. It is advised to do so even if you are not wearing it every day.
Only wind your Jeager-LeCoultre until you feel the resistance and do not try to wind it beyond the point of resistance as it might cause the motor spring to snap.
Magnetic Resistance
A strong magnetic field may also hamper the movement of the watch making it completely stop or have disturbance in the movement. Worry not as the disturbance will only last while the watch is in the influence of the magnetic field.
