As many of our members know, we had a wonderful WatchProSite meeting in the beautiful Vallee de Joux in Le Sentier at Jaeger-leCoultre. If you haven't seen the photos... Just following up to this wonderful post here...

What do you need to keep an army of WatchProSite members happy? A big bottle of Scotch and a big bar of chocolate! In one evening our small group nearly finished a big 1 liter bottle of Macallan Single Malt and a big 300 gram bar of chocolate. Thank you to Amanico for organizing the wonderful Jaeger-LeCoultre Factory Trip! It was an amazing experience! And thank you to all of our attendees who made it an incredible experience! Or Corsican brothers, our Californian who flew over a dozen hours, our German member who drove several hours during sky-high petrol price season, Yokozuna's emissary (thank you for opening my eyes and ears with that special repeater), our member from Denmark, another from England, and our many wonderful members from France and the rest of Europe. I miss all of you already!

Thank you to all the wonderful members whom attended! It was a great pleasure. And again, a big thank you to our magnanimous Amanico for organizing this epic trip. For the WatchProSite members who missed this amazing trip - which was too short of a trip - I hope you can attend the next one!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Macallan single malt and Lindt chocolate were the perfect accompaniments to the Jaeger-LeCoultre manufacture visit, enhancing the overall experience for attendees.
The chocolate, while slightly industrial in smoothness, was praised for its exquisite flavoring and the perfect balance of toasted nuts, cranberries, and raspberries.
A two-night stay is suggested as the minimum duration for future manufacture visits, allowing more time to explore offerings like Jaeger-LeCoultre's celestial complications course.

were the perfect 'cherries' on the mega-cake Nico and the JLC staff had in store for us there . For me, it was both a tremendous pleasure, and a true privilege to spend a couple of days in that esteemed company. Thanks Patrick, I look forward to seeing you, and some of the other members foreseeably at a much closer (and personally convenient) location here in California . Cheers to Macalan and that wonderful Lindt chocolate! Filip
