At Its About Time Inc, we are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking achievement for our workshop and boutique in Johns Creek, Georgia: we have been officially authorized to service Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC) timepieces in-house.
This milestone signifies not only our dedication to providing world-class watch services but also our team’s technical expertise and commitment to meeting the rigorous standards of one of the most esteemed watchmakers in the industry.
What It Means to Service Jaeger-LeCoultre Timepieces
Servicing a Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece is not merely about understanding the mechanics of a watch; it is about mastering an art form that balances precision, innovation, and heritage.
JLC timepieces are renowned for their intricate complications, such as perpetual calendars, tourbillons, and minute repeaters, which demand a watchmaker’s full attention and a deep understanding of micromechanics.
To be authorized as an official service provider for Jaeger-LeCoultre, we underwent extensive evaluations and rigorous testing, demonstrating proficiency in servicing and repairing these masterpieces.
The process required specialized tools, dedicated only to JLC timepieces, and training to meet the brand’s uncompromising quality standards. Achieving Level 30 and Level 40 access to spare parts—an elite certification—places us among a select group of external watchmakers globally.
This access ensures that every component used in repairs is genuine, allowing us to uphold the integrity of each timepiece we service.
Jaeger-LeCoultre: A Pillar of the Watchmaking Industry
Founded in 1833 in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland, Jaeger-LeCoultre has long been revered as the “watchmaker of watchmakers.” The brand’s contributions to the horological world are unparalleled, with over 1,200 calibers (watch movements) created in its storied history.
Few brands can claim to be as innovative and technically accomplished as Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Some hallmark achievements of JLC include:
- The Reverso: An icon of Art Deco design, initially created in 1931 for polo players seeking a timepiece that could withstand impacts. Its reversible case remains a testament to JLC’s ingenuity.
- The Atmos Clock: A virtually perpetual clock that runs on temperature changes, a marvel of engineering and sustainability.
- Ultra-Thin Movements: Jaeger-LeCoultre has consistently pushed the boundaries of thinness, showcasing its mastery in creating slim yet robust movements.

Despite these accomplishments, Jaeger-LeCoultre remains one of the most underrated luxury watch brands. While collectors and enthusiasts recognize its significance, it often flies under the radar compared to more mainstream luxury names.
However, within the horological community, JLC is respected as a true innovator—a brand that doesn’t just assemble watches but creates every component in-house, from movements to cases. This vertical integration ensures unmatched quality and precision.
