The particular watch we have here, a Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm from circa the 2010s, honors these glorious JLC alarm watches of yore — and looking at it, you’d be hard pressed to tell that it doesn’t date from the 1960s! Housed in a 40.5mm stainless steel case with a plexiglass crystal, an alarm winding and setting crown at 2:00, a time-setting crown at 4:00, and a fixed 12-hour bezel with luminous quadrants, it features a multi-tone black and silver dial with a matching ‘syringe’ handset with vintage-colored, and an inner rotating alarm indicator (as operated by the 2:00 crown. As this is a tribute to the American-market version of the original Deep Sea Alarm, its dial is signed only ‘LeCoultre,’ rather than ‘Jaeger-LeCoultre.’

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.
