The 64th-ranked Jarry served out a 90-minute triumph to raise his record to 19-15 on the season.
The 23-year-old Chilean cracked 10 aces and faced just two break points to avenge a 6-2, 7-6 (5) loss to Londero on the red clay of Cordoba earlier this year.
"First of all, congrats Juan Ignacio, he already have the first (title) so I'm very happy to have this one," Jarry said. "I'm very happy to be able to have this I know it's not easy to get the first one in anything you. And I want to thank my team."
The fifth-seeded Jarry broke at 30 for a 4-3 second-set lead and confirmed the break.
Serving for his first title, Jarry cranked diagonal forehand to seal the won on his second match point and eradicate the memories of a painful final.
In Geneva, Jarry held two championship points before bowing to Alexander Zverev in his second final.
Jarry swept all five of his wins this week—over Henri Laaksonen, Mikael Ymer, Jeremy Chardy, Federico Delbonis and Londero—in straight sets.
