Origin of Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre SA, or simply Jaeger-LeCoultre is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1833 by the then legendary watchmaker Antonie LeCoultre and is based in Le Sentier, Switzerland. Following this event, a meeting between the Frenchman Edmond Jaeger and Dacid Jacques LeCoultre in 1903, changed the history of the manufacturer forever, producing one of the finest creations since founding.
Introducing Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox
In 1968, the manufacturer began a new era of watchmaking with the launch of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox, a watch housed in an unconventional large case featuring a alert alarm function, elevating the piece as an iconic sports diving watch.
Design and Development
Back in 1959, JLC introduced the Memovox complication for divers. This provided an alarm function to warn the diver it was time to get back to the surface. Almost 10 years later, in 1968, JLC introduced the Memovox Polaris. This watch had an internal rotating bezel and (of course) an alarm. It also featured a specially designed case back, consisting of three layers, for the best possible sound. Today, we are looking at the latest Polaris addition, the Polaris Mariner Memovox. It has a water resistance of 30 bars (~ 300 meters) and a sapphire case back.
