Jaeger Le-Coultre: Calibre 101

Tiny but mighty! The Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101, holds the title of the world’s smallest mechanical watch movement since 1929.

This marvel of miniaturization measures just 14mm long and is assembled by hand by the most skilled watchmakers. A true testament to precision engineering and watchmaking history.

Fun Fact: Queen Elizabeth II rocked a Calibre 101 on her coronation day in 1953. Talk about influencer marketing before its time. The legacy continues, recently spotted gracing the red carpet on Anya Taylor-Joy’s wrist.

Personally, I love how it keeps the delicate bracelet look while adding a touch of watch sophistication to a formal outfit.  Perfection!
