2011 Novelties launch preview in Singapore
Hello guys!
I trust that you all are having a fantastic mid-week!
As many of you might know already, I have just returned back to South East Asia last week, and boy was i fortunate enough to be invited to a very nice event earlier this evening already! And i have not even stepped foot here one week!
Here's my humble coverage of the evening! The party was of a different atmosphere than from what i was used to in Tokyo, but nonetheless it was wonderful, and i thoroughly enjoyed myself very much!
All thanks to the wonderful staff at Jaeger Lecoultre Marina Bay Sands boutique, and of course to Monsieur Alexis de Laporte!
Hope you enjoy the shots!
Cheers
Stephen
The front of the boutique
Folks starting to pour in.
The event card
What a fine marque. Jaeger Lecoultre. Standing for excellence, innovation, and a unique stance in the world of haute horlogerie.
I love the chinese numerals on this piece
And some novelties from SIHH 2011
The highlight of the evening though, has GOT to be this! Everyone was crowding around this masterpiece!
Nice art ay?
Monsieur de Laporte giving his speech rather enthusiastically.
Presenting the new Reversos! And some vintage as well
You know, i have never found myself this attracted to a stainless steel Reverso before.
Rare vintages, the one on the left is one of the very 1st examples of the Reverso since it's birth
Their backs, and the right masterpiece has alot of history in it!
Maybe you can tell by now how obsessed i am over this?!
A parting shot, albeit with lotsa fingerprint marks on it!
Hope you all liked it!

A great piece i shall say!
The crowds agreed so to it! Glad you liked it! Cheers Stephen
It looks like you're hooked on the TT 1931, Stephen.
Did you feel the power of this watch? Are you on to get it? Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-02-17 08:18:45
The power of the watch, i like that sound!
It was indeed marvelous, and very powerful indeed! On getting it or not, i am not sure, but this is definitely a contender! A beintot Stephen
Nice reporting..
And looks like a great event. Comeon, just do it! Order that 1931 already! We are looking forward to our own local event here with Seth and the gang. Was the DSA there?
Maybe not that simple......
Because at the end of the day it does not fulfill my criteria. But, the price makes it so tempting! The Deep Seas were here, but i was too caught up in the Reversos that i completely missed it! Plus it was an automatic and i guess that did it for me! Than...
Looks like you had a great time!
I wish there was a JLC Boutique in my country… We never get the SIHH show here. Thank you for sharing! Best Blomman
the 1931 is just such simple elegance
its like the "sweet girl next door", the one that if you bring her home, you know your mom would smile and approve of. i am smitten by her too. Best, Horo
Glad to hear you would enjoy this masterpiece too!
It's absolutely one being transported from the past to the present. Cheers Stephen
Actually it compliments the PAMs really well because of it's luminousity!
Of which was probably the factor that made me love it! Ciao Stephen
Awesome report.
I enjoy it as well and even had a good chat with Mr de Laporte. Thanks for sharing, Goh
No worries Goh!
Wish i could have talk to you yesterday! Which guy was you btw? Lol Stephen
Would love to have a chat with you too.
I was there with my eldest son so you should be able to identify me. Goh
i was there too
Loved the setup and planning behind it. The canapes by Hilton was excellent. Many of you might have seen me but i just don't know who is who. Wished bumped into Goh and Blunotte there. I think I remembered seeing blunotte taking pictures. The marketing ma...
Reverso Grande Automatique for Wempe
Glad you liked it - here are a couple of photos of the watch - not mine worn that night but some other gentleman's as posted on this site a while ago. My focus, it seemed like most of everyone there, was on the Reverso Tribute to 1931. Less can be more. D...
How do I get invited?
Thanks for posting this.. great stuff. I'm singapore based and a big JLC fan. How do I find out about these in advance / get invited? Is it as simple as calling up MBS jLC boutique and asking? Also , might as well post my two very recent additions too.......
Superb Duo, sgexpat. Jaegeresque, even!
One round, one rectangular, this is a Superb Duo. Lookiing forward to hearing more from you and your passion for JLC, Best, Nicolas.
Definitely, you're a JLC fan....
Something which caught your interest in the 2011 collection? Best, Nicolas.
2011 collection favourites
1. The Master Grand UT Moon 2. TT Reverso 1931 3. Quantiemme Duometre, black dial (only number 3 because I probably won't ever own one..) Thanks again
thanks for sharing...
... the Reverso Sun Moon is great watch, unfortunately, it is no longer in production! stefan
are you sure Sun Moon out of production...?
It still features on their website: http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/ao/en/watches/reverso-complication/reverso-grande-sun-moon It was incredibly difficult to find - no AD's had it in the entire island of Singapore - so I would believe it was out of produc...
as far as i know...
... it has been stopped for few years. it is no long listed in the recent catalog. maybe other people can confirm this as well. i asked local JLC Boutique here, the staff said so too. i only saw some per-owned for sale but not very often. it is a very nic...
Honestly, no.
But I will send a mail to my contact at the manufacture to tell her... Best, Nicolas.
Thank you for sharing with some of us who couldn't be there.
You did a great job with the coverage. I spotted the Master Chronograph in black in one of the pics too. Ruckdee
Stephen... i am very glad to see you here...
... was such great pleasure of meeting and talking to you finally. hope to see you more often when chances come. stefan
The honour is mine Stefan!
It was great putting a face to the PuristS too! I will let you know when i drop by next! Cheers Stephen
No worries!
And a real pleasure to finally meet you in person! A fine man you are! Cheers Stephen
Thank you for sharing your impressions, Stephen
It was a superbly hosted event and your photo report shows us again the attractions Jaeger-LeCoultre has in store for us this year. Dirk
