Jaeger-LeCoultre

Last time it was a bit of a rush and given a short notice, too. I only visited the horology museum and Omega. But thanks to Nico again nevertheless.

Thanks for sharing Nicolas..

Did they show any upcoming pieces? S

Look at my pictures, you see us standing around a table looking at a monitor. That was in the design department and the engineers were working with their CAD software around us. Next to me, there was someone working on a stunningly complex and beautiful R... 

too cruel to Patrick here xD.... He was simply sincerely drained from the whole thing... and the Macallan of course=P.... Good thing he didn't fall over given how many times his head fell forward!

I wish I would have been able to join this fantastic trip to JLC. Did you wear your JLC MR to celebrate these moments? Best Thomas

You have to show me the Septantieme!! My favorite, non-gyrotourbillon Reverso=)

I have to confess I no longer put myself through the stress of taking multiple watches with me on a flight. I don't find that particularly pleasant especially going through the security controls. Therefore on my last trip to Genéve (visiting GP) I conscio... 

As I have too many pictures for a single post, I will share the ones I have in this thread through a few different posts. These are the images leading up to us entering La Grand Maison - in case any of you guys would like to have a large-format picture e-...  

that's a proper throwback ....

La Grand Maison is truly enormous.... Matthieu opened things up with showing us the immaculately preserved pocket watches from the 1920s and 30s.... Totally exceptional pieces. The highlight of the visit for me besides the Grand Sonneries and Gyrotourbill...

I was totally mesmerized by those pocket watches! Cheers, Filip

héhé it was difficult to respect the rule, my greasy fingers were all aching from the restraining order !

The one behind is the one called "la grande maison", in which all crafts necessary to manufacture a watch where put under the same roof. Best, E.

Good, that wasn't initially clear to me.... Thanks, Filip

Super amusing and endearing is that most JLC employees wear Reversos....=)) This highly skilled lady is working on movement finishing for ladies’ Reversos.... ........ The glass-partitioned watchmaker spaces where regular pieces and complications are put ...

Thanks for the effort Filip, it is really like a repeated, virtual trip!

Gotta love that astronomy atmos, so obvious that it is the perfect vehicle for astronomical complications

They've decided to 'double down' on that concept with the latest one as well........

my trip went really well, I slept for 13 hours straight when I came back! Now, just finally getting back to my regular work obligations.... Cheers, Filip

My turn to share some pictures ! The team looking at some old marvels. And Nico working with his portable watch-shed ! Patrick trying to no sand-blast his own watch No touching she said ! Kinda love this logo-ed rotor wheel. Nice pieces but dont you think...  

Not only high resolution, but quality framing as well . Much appreciated, likewise, Filip

I wish I took more pictures of us all

I will always remember the dramatically different ticking sound of your JLC pictured above and my 2.5 Hz Dornblüth

It was a pleasure to meet you ! Thanks at JLC, Dorothée, Natassja, for this superb expérience. Beautiful to see all peoples to work his position, with hands.

Bye bye JLC! ...  

who actually thought of taking a picture of that wonderful wine! Yum!....

Reverse minute repeater is a grail ! Unfortunately I did not understand your joke about Don Justino’s “portable coffee” joke. What does it mean ? 🤔

What a treat to read through all of this, much less I can only imagine to be there !

Lovely to see everyone in good spirits and having such a lovely time !
