Amanico introduces Jaeger-LeCoultre's 2014 Hybris Artistica collection, a series of 12 extraordinary timepieces showcasing the Manufacture's unparalleled talent in watchmaking, design, enameling, and engraving. This initial preview, featuring detailed sketches, offers a glimpse into the artistic and technical marvels that define JLC's high-complication offerings.

Those of you who attended the SIHH, this year, were certainly pleased to discover this new concept, the " Artistica " masterpieces, 12 pieces created by the talent, the Genius and the Madness of the Manufacture Watchmakers, Designers, Master Enamelers and Engravers.

For the moment, I propose to discover these pieces of Art through their draws.

Then, we'll come back to them, with pictures.

.. Mesmerizing Art .. And also compelling Juwels !!

Last but not least, I am definitely looking forward to the posting of your series, to the pics, of a Master Series, a Hybris Series.. Best, also for the running week, hs PS: - my personal favourite still is the Gyro-To
