Designer
In-house design studio
The reference was drawn by the manufacture's internal design office, where case, dial and movement architects work alongside the watchmakers rather than as an outside commission.
Historical significance
Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris 40 mm Green Quartz sits within Jaeger-LeCoultre's Polaris line, introduced in 2006. It carries the house codes established since 1833 — quartz tpt case, green sunburst dial and in-house manual-winding, hand-finished — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
- The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.

Brand history
Jaeger-LeCoultre has spent more than 193 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Reverso, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Antoine LeCoultre established Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1833, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre produced today.
