OUR IDENTITY
INTRODUCING BEYOND THE GEARS
Paying tribute to the award of 430 patents that underline creativity and technical ingenuity of our watchmakers, Beyond the Gears is a series of videos that lifts the veil on the patents that have led to the most extraordinary complications. From basic cogs to a multi-axis tourbillon, from a simple alarm to a Westminster minute repeater, high mechanical complexity lies behind the dial of a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch.
