amanicoYou certainly kept in mind that when we saw the new Master Control Line in 2020, we were hoping that, one day, a colored version would come. Some thought, logically, that a black dial would " land ". Logically as for more than 20 years, steel cases were associated to black dials, and we have in mind the " Black Series " from the late 90's, early 2000's, such as the Master Perpetual Calendar, Memovox, Ultra Thin 34, Geographic and so on. In that vein, we had a more recent wave of Master in Steel with black .....Story

amanicoFor many years we wanted to organize a Manufacture Tour with Jaeger Lecoultre. Because Jaeger Lecoultre is one the most interesting watchmakers, because our site celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, because our relations with the brand are long and friendly. We wanted to make it happen in 2018 and in 2019 we were on to make it, it was in the tube and... The Covid came...Story

amanicoIf you are an avid reader of our Jaeger Lecoultre forum, this Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 will remind you something, and more specifically, the Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time issued in 2017. The Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time, which was limited to 100 pieces. Indeed, the Master Grande Tradition Cal 948 shares the same concept,a flying and a tourbillon which makes one rotation all around the dial in 24 Hours AND a world time function, but expressed in a different way, should I say more... .....Story

amanicoIn 2018, Jaeger Lecoultre decided to widen the scope of the iconic Polaris, which since 1965 and the unveiling of the first model is, basically, a diving Memovox, re-edited in 2008. So, 4 years ago, Jaeger Lecoultre came to the SIHH in Geneva with a whole family of Polaris, and not only a water resistant alarm watch. Since then, we had the Polaris Automatic ( no date, no alarm ), the Polaris Date ( No Alarm ), the Polaris 50th Anniversary ( Alarm and Date ), the Polaris Chronograph, the Polaris Chronograph ... ...Story

amanicoMy friends, For some years now, I have wanted to organize a visit to the Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture. It was first planned in early 2020, but you know too well why it couldn't be achieved. Since then, we have tried to find the good moment. And this moment has arrived! It will be on the 9th of June 2022, for the whole day...Story

amanicoThe Rendez Vous is a line which was born in 2019. A line which gave birth to some marvels, such as the Celestial or the Moon. This year again, Jaeger Lecoultre decided to give to the Rendez-Vous a new complication, dedicated to the Celestial Universe, which they strangely call Dazzling Star, while I would have rather called it Shooting Star. I will say it straight, this watch is a summit of poetry and romanticism...Story

amanicoWhen you read Hybris Mechanica, you can expect something technically sophisticated. This Atmos Hybris Mechanica Cal 590 is no exception to that. But I prefer its other nickname, the Tellurium. Technically sophisticated , this new movement, the Calibre 590, made of 443 parts, certainly is as it required 4 years of development...Story

amanicoBack to the roots and to the fundamentals, these are the first words which come to mind to express my first feelings on this legendary clock. The Atmos Infinite pays homage to a certain Atmos, born in 1928, this one: With its cylindrical glass cabinet, even if the Infinite looks larger. The dimensions of the Atmos Infinite are 215 mm ( diameter ) and 253 ( height ). An homage, yes, as it is very Art Deco, but in a modern way...Story

amanicoHere we go again! We'll have a quick view on the new Jaeger Lecoultre Collection. You know we'll come back to each of these creations all along the year, no worries about that. Before you ask, there will be a bit more to come, but I think we'll already have some subjects of passionate discussion, here. It seems that this year, Jaeger-Lecoultre is exploring the theme of Universe / Cosmos called " Stellar Odyssey ", as several watches ( and clocks ) are turning around the sky, planets, stars.....Story

amanicoIn Summer 2020, I could review almost all the new Master Control watches at the exception of two, the Master Control Date, and the Master Control Géographique, which were not there when I spent a whole afternoon at the Paris Boutique for a photo session. With my recent visit at the Manufacture, it is now done, and I invite you to discover the Master Control Géographique, through some real pictures. First, let me say that the Master Control Géographique ( let's just call it Géographique ) is one of these watches ... ...Story
