Breguet watches represent the epitome of watch making, with a client list to match - from King Louis XV1 and Marie-Antoinette, Napoleon Bonaparte through to Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill. Founded by A-L Breguet (1747-1823), he set the standard by which all fine watch making has since been judged. In 1810, he made the world's first wrist watch for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples. He was appointed to the Board of Longitude and entered the Academy of Sciences. He was bestowed with the Legion of Honour, receiving it personally from King Louis XV111.

Antoine LeCoultre founded his first workshop in 1833 following the invention of a machine to produce watchmaking pinions. Antoine LeCoultre and his son Elie decided to bring together under a single roof the many skills involved in making watches, a revolutionary concept for this period. In 1907 a collection of simple and complicated ultra-thin movements was created after the challenge set by Edmond Jaeger to Jacques-David LeCoultre in 1903 and which measured no more than 1.38 mm in thickness. This eventually culminated in the founding of the Jaeger LeCoultre brand in 1937. In 1925 The Duoplan watch was launched with the world's smallest movement, Calibre 101. The Reverso watch was launched in 1931 with its swivel system made it possible to respond to the challenge set by British officers stationed in India. Reverso soon became an Art Deco classic and an embodiment of all the values of this movement. Between 1945 and 2000 Futurematic, Memovox, Geophysic amongst other iconic Jaeger LeCoultre were added to the range.
