Jaeger-LeCoultre is a well known luxury clock and watch manufacturer based out of Switzerland. The company has been around for well over 100 years and their watches, like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Chronograph, never disappoint.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Chronograph watch provides a fantastic blend of elegance along with sportsmanship due to having automatic chronograph movement. While looking down at your watch, not only will you see luminescent displays of both the hour and minute, but you also see the date, in a large-format, on a dial at 12 o'clock. An aperture at six o'clock on the Reverso Squadra Chronograph simultaneously shows a 24-hour GMT 2nd time zone indicator that you can change around and adjust whenever you want simply using the crown.

Flipping the watch around to the back side reveals the wonderful view of the mechanical automatic movement. This is not a watch that will disappoint. Impeccable taste and flawless design will leave your friends drooling.

The Beginning of Jaeger Lecoultre Watches

It was in 1866 that Antoine LeCoultre and his son, Elie, moved operations of watch making under one roof.  Up until that point, most Swiss watchmaking was still done individually in peoples homes.  Moving the process under one roof allowed them to make the most of combining abilities.  They would also start using a steam-engine machine to operate their tools, thus making them more efficient.  This would eventually lead to watches, like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Chronograph that we all know today.
