The LE JOUR Watch Company was born in the 1960s & quickly gained popularity for the elevated craftsmanship found in their mechanical watches, even at modest pricing. The company seemingly disappeared during the "Quartz Revolution" of the 1970s. Today however, it has made a winning comeback with a new array of complications.
