积家

Jaeger-LeCoultre is rendered as 积家 (Jī jiā) in Chinese — a short, elegant two-character name meaning 'accumulated family/heritage'. It phonetically approximates 'Jaeger' while the semantic meaning of accumulated tradition fits perfectly for a Swiss watchmaker founded in 1833. The concise rendering is unusual for a double-barreled French-Swiss name.
