European watch ?

A quoi vois-tu que ce calibre serait un EWC ?

Je ne crois pas que Jaeger / EWC ait fait des calibres de chronographes

(effectivement les leviers et ressorts de ce calibre ont l’air bien fini. une photo de profil les mettrait surement plus en valeur que le scan à plat qui écrase les polis)

The "Tank" wristwatch introduced in 1917 during the First World War, was Cartier’s most famous model. The tough new war machine the Americans introduced to the fighting in Europe, Inspired the tank to design a rugged yet beautiful watch that became a classic, inspired Louis Cartier. Cartier made an exclusive contract with Edmond Jaeger, who moved into Cartier’s premises so he could manufacture mechanisms for Cartier’s personalized watches. They guaranteed an annual order of at least 250,000 Fr worth of business and in this time Jaeger concentrated on small flat watches. The early men’s wristwatches were all handmade in France, with movements by Jaeger, Cartier Paris and the European Watch and Clock Co, who manufactured complicated movements such as chronographs, minute repeaters, and digital wristwatches.

Ladies wristwatches became popular more quickly as the pocket or fob watches were not as comfortable to wear for women. During the Late 1920’s and early 1930’s ladies wristwatches began to get smaller and smaller. The smallest was a 2-line movement manufactured by the European Watch and Clock Company and Jaeger. The ability to create many unique wristwatches was of great advantage to Cartier because customers were able to select from various designs, or order custom made pieces. Because the shops only sold their own brand they had no competition from other competitors in store. Cartier wristwatches were produced with movements by Jaeger, Vacheron, Le Coutre, Cartier itself and The European Watch and Clock Co. These watch cases were manufactured in Paris, Geneva, London and New York, and each branch was responsible for the production of their own wristwatches. However, the French branch exported its watches to other shops. Cartier’s wristwatches were fast becoming the status symbol of the rich, and people became eager to purchase all the unique models that were being manufactured.

In 1931 Cartier designed its first waterproof wristwatch with a three-piece case made in Paris. Other designs to come from Cartier Paris were a covered wristwatch, a shutter wristwatch, a reversible wristwatch a chronograph and a minute repeater. The 1940’s saw a period when the "Moonphase" was a very sort after watch. Its movements were generally by Jaeger or the European Watch and Clock Company. Stainless steel was used during the war when gold became less available. The Cartier London workshop for wristwatches was set up in 1939 and was located at Ormand House, Roseberry Avenue, London EC1. Wright and Davis made the cases. After the Second World War in 1946 Cartier were looking for new designs, keeping up with the tradition of changing times. Cartier London started manufacturing men’s wristwatches in a more serious way and the workshops were able to expand quickly because of the popularity of these custom made pieces. Diamond and sapphire watches were very popular during this period, as were Cartier watches with different colored enamel round the bezel.

j’ai trouvé celle-là mais avec aucun commentaire

je pensais que GS était une manufacture.

salut JF

si ma petite mémoire est bonne, EWC est un avatar de JLC destiné à la production des mouvements pour Cartier.

Clavi saura t’en dire plus j’en suis persuadé.

Bertrand a écrit:

salut Jef,
je crois que European Watch est une entreprise fondée conjointement par Cartier et JLC pour produire des calibres JLC pour Cartier
il ne s’agit que d’un vague souvenir, Clavi saura apporter des informations plus fiables.

ps : la poste a finalement fait son travail ?

et oui, tout à fait
EWC : JLC faisait des calibres pour CARTIER

un exemple non ! deux

la même, mais 2 bijoux

J’ai retrouvé. C’est là :

Cartier records first show a tortue case in 1912, and a women’s model was constructed in 1914 with men’s watches following. The first Tortue Chronograph appears in 1925. The Tortue Chronograph was constructed with an 11 ligne movement from European Watch & Clock Company that used 25 or 26 jewels and beat at 18,000 bps. (EWC was founded in New York in 1919 and constructed watches for Cartier New York. It is likely that these EWC-signed movements were sourced from Jaeger and LeCoultre.)
