For me it is not only about watches

It started in the 80’s >

I have never been a wearer of the Reverso watches, but from the 80’s I always admired Jaeger-LeCoultre watches which often left me hesitant despite my true appreciation for them.

The first Jaeger-LeCoultre I purchased was a lady duetto ;-)

Then came the 90’s, Do you remember that combine complication of a Perpetual calendar with an Alarm in a round shaped watch? Well this was my first Jaeger-LeCoultre watch… and the birth of my feelings for the brand.

Also in the 90’s, Jaeger-LeCoultre presented 2 limited edition watches in platinum, The Master Geographic and the Master Perpetual Calendar, my appreciation for the brand increased further and I eventually made it to make the acquisition form the Watches of Switzerland (New Bond Street London) of the Master Geographic. My appreciation started turning into something else already.

BUT what as turn my appreciation into admiration and a passion for Jaeger-LeCoultre, is the people behind the curtains, THE Team.

It has been about 3 years that I was given a chance to get closer to Jaeger-LeCoultre.  I since discovered that behind the curtaines there was a true Team at the service of their clients.  Personally, I relate more with a product (here a watch) when I am interested either by its history or for what it represents to me.  Today I am able to relate to every JLC piece I come across because I now know more about the people at JLC and their determination in sharing their innovations and passion for their industry.

At JLC, from top to bottom they give you time, and they invite you to voyage into them in a humble, friendly and elegant manner.  Humble you ought to be too, because the more interests you will show, the deeper you want to go, the more you will get from everyone at JLC!  Jaeger-LeCoultre is an inescapable centre in the industry of horology, their passion is what they love sharing, and their clients is what they truly highly value.

Since the 90's I added more pieces to my collection: 
8 Days Perpetual Calendar  Antoine Le-Coultre

Amvox 2 Concept (PVD)
Amvox 1R
Master Minute Repeater Antoine Le-Coultre
Amvox 2 DBS. 

and, I look so forward to be a wearer to a few more passionate executions from Jaeger-LeCoultre, because each 'one more' piece from JLC is to me a way to thanking JLC for welcoming me in a style in which I see no other watch-companies offering to their customers, and for making me appreciate and understanding my pieces much more than just timekeepers.
