A visit at the JLC Manufacture: The " Atelier des Métiers Rares ".
2016 saw many changes at the Manufacture. Among them, a very important one is certainly the fact that Jaeger Lecoultre decided to gather all the artistic skills under the same roof and place, in the same building than the Spécialités Horlogères Workshop, ...
Oooh , I love cloisonne
Many moons ago I had an cloisonne omega yes the Neptune .... i sold it to pay my wedding hahaha , bad choice
Very, very interesting!

Been there and ...
Your pictures and text describes very well the amount of ... art there. I was just speechless. Thanks for the great post. Cheers, Nilo
A giant round screen?
And no wires visible in the photo. It is magic - are the images projected from the ceiling or do the come up out of the tabletop? I appreciate the value of having these artisans together and the savings (for everyone) in walking around the buildings and g...
Yes that Einstein is a test....
for my nerves What a splendid idea and top notch execution I'm sure that one would bring my dad to the light side Thank you for sharing this great details Sincerely D
You have done us a great service with this report.
What a wonderful trip it would be to visit this true manufacture.
Really great article...
While JLC's "kissing cousin" makes a bigger deal about "Rare Handcrafts," JLC keeps plugging away, doing what was done 100 years ago, and hands down the technical knowledge from Master to Apprentice - something I doubt is done much anywhere else. I can't ...
Wonderful.
Totally engrossing experience, just from viewing your images, much more I can imagine from experiencing it yourself. The Einstein enamel (which you say is a test) still stands out as the nicest enamel I have seen to date! In terms of the case-back engravi...
i like the concept very much...
a very simple way to bring in customization at a sensible price point... also this creates a diverse range of design options for a customer ! albeit there is an app on iP for this, i think walking into this place is an experience by itself !! thanks for s...
I saw these workshops separately, some years ago.
It is a totally different feeling to see them gathered in the same place, indeed. The sum of skills is really impressive. Enamel dials? That is a passion we share, my friend. So you can imagine how I felt when looking at these creations! Best, Nicolas
Great post. Thank you.. So am I correct ...
in understanding that the buyer can order a customized watch from JLC ? If the answer is yes, is there a link that explains the process, such as what parts can be customized and possible cost estimates ? Thanks again for the great post. Cheers Jim
Special engravings or enamel is always possible. You have to put yourself in contact with JLC...
Through a boutique or an AD, and everything is possible. The sky and the height of the wallet are the only limits. Best, Nicolas
