More on the pocket watch pictured in the masthead
The watch pictured in the masthead has been made in 2 examples, originally for Cartier, hence the movement signed 'european watch co' as were all the Jaeger movements found in the Cartier watches (actually Jaeger produced all the Cartier watches at that time, starting from 1907)
One of the 2 watches was made for Louis Cartier, and the other one (the one pictured above) was made for Henri Rodanet, who was the chairman of Jaeger at that time.
Henri Rodanet was a fully trained watchmaker prior to becoming Jaeger chairman, and he is the one who designed the famous caliber 101 (the worlds smaller mechanical watch movement).
Henri Rodanet worked for Jaeger initially as a watchmaker, then became technical director, and then CEO.
Mr Rodanet has worked during all his career for Jaeger, i.e. for 50 years ! (1902-1952)
