Earlier this year, Jaeger-LeCoultre surprised fans with the The Collectibles, a new product program that is geared to collectors of vintage pieces. Introduced to coincide with the anniversary of 190 years, it will form part of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s ongoing offer.
The Collectibles presents a meticulously curated collection of twelve rare and sought-after timepieces that symbolize horological milestones, not only in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legacy but also in the watchmaking history of the 20th century.
“With Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most emblematic timepieces being increasingly sought-after by collectors, we are delighted to introduce The Collectibles… Together with a new master reference book for our Maison’s most emblematic models of the 20th century, this new program presents a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of the manufacture’s history.”

Over time, a continually evolving selection of timepieces will be available to purchase on the brand’s website and in the form of capsule collections that will travel around the world.
Among the first to be offered are fine examples of a Geophysic, a Memovox Parking, and a Master Mariner Deep Sea (pictured from left to right). Every Collectibles timepiece is presented with an extract from the Jaeger-LeCoultre archives, a new watch strap and a complimentary copy of The Collectibles coffee-table book.
In addition, when available, the original box and papers, and original strap or bracelet will be included. It goes without saying that every timepiece offered through The Collectibles is thoroughly vetted by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s historical experts and fully serviced and restored by the specialized watchmakers of La Grande Maison’s restoration workshop.
