sorry, if this is a faq. i am curious what the reason behind using different labels ("Jaeger LeCoultre" and "LeCoultre") is. i think they merged around 1930, so newer watches would problay all labeled "JLC"? then, there are also watches around, as example Futurematics, which were at some time produced as "LeCoultre". | ||

Jaeger and LeCoultre were two distinct companies that merged in the late 1920s. From 1937 on Jaeger-LeCoultre was used on dials of most countries except the united states which used LeCoultre until the mid 1970s, this presumably for marketing reasons. The JLC name was used uniforimily thereafter. |
