The Watch
Jaeger LeCoultre released the Marine Master in 1958, the same year as the original Geophysic. The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Mariner kicked off a line of watches in the American market that would eventually bring on their first dive watches in the ‘60s.
The ”Master Mariner” appeared in a number of advertisements in the late 1950s. In addition to celebrating their 125th anniversary, JLC clearly attempted to market them towards seafaring types, as the ads featured pictures of, and quotes from, ship captains.
