The calibre 101 movement by Jaeger-LeCoultre was introduced in 1929 and at the time was celebrated as the smallest watch movement ever made, measuring just 14 x 4.8 x 3.4 mm. The idea of the Duoplan movement itself was devised by Paris watchmaker Henri Rodanet with an ingenious wheel train layout that allows the movement to retain excellent timekeeping properties whilst at the same time being made in very small sizes for lady’s watches.

The calibre 101 became world-famous in 1953 when it was realized that Queen Elizabeth II had worn a diamond-set calibre 101 at her coronation that year.
