In 1903, the Parisian watchmaker Edmond Jaeger issued a challenge to Swiss manufacturers to create and produce ultra-thin movements, a revolutionary concept he had conceived. Embracing this challenge, Jacques-David LeCoultre, the grandson of Antoine LeCoultre and now overseeing production at LeCoultre & Cie, embarked on the exciting development of these groundbreaking ultra-thin timepieces.

Soon after, in the same year, the esteemed French jeweler Cartier signed an exclusive contract with Jaeger, ensuring that all Jaeger movements would be reserved for Cartier's use for a 15-year period, with LeCoultre responsible for their production. This partnership between Jaeger and LeCoultre ultimately led to the official renaming of the company as Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1937, a name that endures today as a pioneer in the development and production of timepieces.
