A day of JLC in Tokyo - Part Deux: while Nico is away :-) (modem burner)

 

While this place is quiet, let's see the Part 2 of my day of JLC.

As mentioned in Part 1, there was the dinner hosted by Jaeger-LeCoultre for the clients where Novelties were displayed and VERY playful dinner was served.


1. The display


















































Vintage Reverso



















































The famous attache case





Gyro Tourbillon II in new color









The Eclipse Series















Back to the current line-up




























Can I take this home smile ?




The Manufacture housing 1260 people.



Big stage for dinner



Many guests attended



2. "VERY Reverso" dinner.  Notice anything?




Mr. Momoi of The Hour Glass Japan.



With Mr. Lambert



This one belonged to a gentleman who sat next to me.  Beautiful.












Okay, where were we?  Oh, notice anything strange?




EVERYTHING is REVERSE - knife/ fork upside down, wrong direction, printing of the menu....



...and started from DESSERT!



"Quasi" Reverso smile sits on the edge of the dish.



Fish - the dish is upside down.



Meat - again, the dish is upside down.



.. and now, appetizer....



Mr. Joel Cordier is introduced as THE master watchmaker of JLC and the one who would demonstrate Rideau.


Again, Gyro Tourbillon 2 in new PG case


Backside.



Reverso a Rideau with the curtain open


The curtain closed


Reverse side.





And now listen to the sound (sorry for the background noise) - WORLD PREMIER!



Sweet, isn't it?


3. Wrist shots of some of the guests.

As usual....



This is truly beautiful...




This gentleman was supposed to wear his Gyro Tourbillon 2, but he forgot...  Ooookaaay....




Gyro Tourbillon 2 #1





Gyro Tourbillon 2 #2





One of the guests' Master MR.  Wonderful sound.






Thank you very much.  I hope you enjoyed the dinner.   Kudos to the JLC team to host such a nice event.
Special thanks to Mr. Lambert, Mr. Laurian, and Jaeger-LeCoultre Japan staff and Mr. Momoi and The Hour Glass staff.

Ken

You got to see too many amazing watches AND interview M. Lambert! Wow, this coverage of the dinner is great. Thanks for posting all of this. It looks like it was a wonderful time. I really like the Reverso 1931 2011 sign -- it really captures the history ... 

I, too, like the Reverso sign

They DID a great thing in/for US!

 
By: KIH : June 2nd, 2011-14:08

I have some crazy Frenchman next to me in Las Vegas

 
By: MTF : June 2nd, 2011-11:57
We just finished IGOTT-2 in Las Vegas. No JLC present but someone called "Vlad" is also in Las Vegas. We are going now for lunch and later to buy me a PuristS 10th anniversary watch.....Bulgari They were at IGOTT-2. Regards, MTF

Oh, I am sorry for your pain...

 
By: KIH : June 2nd, 2011-14:00
.... help will be on its way soon Please buy me other P10 watch, too! Ken You guys did a great job for IGOTT2. Sorry, I missed it.

We had to go back to LA, so a great " In and Out " for us,

But Vlad indeed had a lot of pleasure to meet " The Crooner ". Hope to see you soon, Melvyn. All the best from a warm and sunny Paris. The Impaler.

Thanks again Ken,

I really enjoyed it. Well done. JLC really must open a boutique here in Tokyo someday.

Yes, I tiold them so, too....

 
By: KIH : June 3rd, 2011-15:42
.. but for now, Mitsukoshi Nihombashi is their quasi-boutique and they have expanded the space, nicely done. We should frequent there, too. A bit of walk or subway ride from Ginza area, though. Ken

Excellent. HQ review.

 
By: VMM : June 3rd, 2011-07:41
HQ event also. You were very lucky to have all those marvels there. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers. Vte

Did you get to hear the sound of the new Titanium Master Minute Repeater? I wish I had! Thank you so much. Ken

Basically the same sound than on mine.

 
By: amanico : June 5th, 2011-03:32
Hi Ken, This is a Ti Van case ... A kind of titanium and vanadium alliage, which, acoustically, is very close ( in fact, I didn't hear any difference ) to the MMR ti. Best, Nicolas.

A refreshingly different dinner and what a lineup JLC brought

 
By: DaMctosh : June 7th, 2011-16:47
to Tokyo. The guests' watches were not too shabby either! Thanks for this Ken.

Yes, I wanted everyone to pay more attention to the "reversed" dinner!

 
By: KIH : June 11th, 2011-05:31
... I guess we are just lucky and appreciate very much for the effort of JLC Japan. Only complaint I have is the they did not bring Diane Kruger.... Ken

By: FanFrancisco : June 11th, 2011-09:19

By: KIH : June 11th, 2011-15:57
