I will start to post some fresh pictures which were sent to me by Jaeger-Lecoultre.

A few are well known, others are new to me. All are beautiful.

It will allow those who didn't visit the Grande Maison to have an avant gout of what is a Manufacturen and it will be a nice reminder for those who already visited it.

Let's start with the tourbillonesque waiting room:



The Master Enameler at work:



The Grandes Complications workshop is the place to visit!



From the very small....



To the very big...



All that work requires talent, and that angel in heaven doesn't lack mastery.



For the greatest satisfaction of some lucky clients:



Best.

The Jaeger-Lecoultre Manufacture is impressive inside, with its cortege of rooms, laboratories, desks, rooms, workshops. You can really loose yourself, inside. Outside, it is just monumental. Here are the pictures. The Vallée de Joux in all its splendor: On the background, the lake, and the Manufacture: The Grande Maison is truly Grande: A Japanese Garden in the Sentier? An architectural blend of Tradition and Modernity, at least. Best,

An array of marvelloous pcket watches from the collection and the patrimony of the Grande Maison. We don't often see them, which is a pity as they often are the roots of the present of the brand, and they are just beautiful. From the simplest expression of Time ( and the thinnest, too )... To the most exquisite, refined and complicated ( and sometimes the three at the same time ) timekeepers. Perpetual Calendar, Minute Repeater, Chronograph, Tourbillon, there is no complication whic

There are few brands, only, which can offer such a diversity of high end watches. Jaeger-Lecoultre provided me some nice and fresh pictures of Tourbillons and Minute repeaters, as you can see by yourself. 1/ The Tourbillons: - The Gyrotourbillon One, which remains my Grail watch from the Grande Maison, in a superb dark shot: And its movement, the Cal 177, on its dial side: - The Cal 174 of the Gyrotourbillon Two ( dial side ) : - The Extreme Lab One is certainly one rare bird, almost impossib

jokes aside, JLC IS really great in my opinion The greatest watch manufacturer due to its diversity, ingenuity, guts, dreams, courage. The pocket watches are sublime, the mouvements awsome. The wrist watches almost from another world. No wonder it is called "La Grande Maison"! Thank you so much for these pictures Nicolas, I will stare at them in awe for the next few hour and again and again. Cheers my friend, Francois

As I thought they quite well summed the spirit and the talent of the Grande Maison, François. You can even save them in your HD, they are worth it! Best, my dear friend. Nicolas

beside the engineering which enables it to run without lubricant, I don't see the grace in this watch. Perhaps, as for The Who, it is too innovative and brutal for me:):) Cheers Francois
