Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph Q902843J

The Polaris Chronograph features a superb signature dial in lacquered grey. From the lightest to the darkest, the gradation of multiple nuances is achieved thanks to a process that consists of applying almost 40 layers of varnish followed by colored and transparent lacquer to the dial before the final step: polishing. In its 42 mm steel case, the dial has three levels of finishing: an internal opaline bezel, a grained circle for the hours and indexes, as well as a sunray-brushed center. Perfectly legible, the chronograph stands out for its iconic attributes: central second, tachymeter and 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. Highlighting the Maison’s watchmaking expertise, its Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 761 features an integrated chronograph mechanism, equipped with a column-wheel with vertical clutch. The Polaris Chronograph promises 65 hours of power reserve - very welcome for a watch built for adventure. Graced with sporty and functional elegance, it comes with a beige fabric strap and another in black rubber.

History of Jaeger-LeCoultre Jaeger-LeCoultre, founded in 1833 in Switzerland's Vallée de Joux, began as a small workshop established by Antoine LeCoultre. Driven by innovation and precision, LeCoultre's company quickly gained recognition for its high-quality timepieces and movement production. In 1903, a partnership with Parisian businessman Edmond Jaeger led to the formation of Jaeger-LeCoultre, combining Swiss watchmaking expertise with French elegance. Throughout the 20th century, Jaeger-LeCoultre solidified its position as a leader in watchmaking innovation. The company's milestones include the creation of the world's thinnest pocket watch (1925), the self-winding Atmos clock (1928), the iconic Reverso watch (1931), and the Master Memovox alarm wristwatch (1950). Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to operate as a true "Manufacture," designing and producing its timepieces entirely in-house, while maintaining its legacy of innovation and exceptional craftsmanship.
