In 1803, Le Sentier saw the birth of a boy who was to make the name LeCoultre world-renowned. Descendant of Pierre LeCoultre who settled in Le Sentier in 1559, Antoine LeCoultre was the son of Henri-David, owner of a forge which produced mechanical instruments. It was here that he completed his apprenticeship and specialized in metallurgy and gear-mechanisms.
