Edmond Jaeger was born in 1858 in Alsace. He moved to Paris in 1880 to set up a watchmaking workshop specializing in on-board chronometers and speed measuring mechanisms: tachometers, cinemometers, chronographs and counters for aviation.
In 1903, he joined forces with Jacques-David LeCoultre to create wristwatches with complications, including ultra-thin calibres that were as small as possible. In 1929, the caliber 101 called Duoplan allows by its architecture to reduce to the maximum the size of the movement: it is a revolution. This made it possible to produce ladies' watches similar to thin bracelets where the mechanism, invisible, reveals only a tiny dial in the continuity of the line of the bracelet.
