It's hard to please to everybody, SJX
Magali has quite a lot of courage, I think..when she began with the Compressor Line, of course there is something of the Polaris, but hey, the style wasn't what people used to see, love and admire on a JLC watch.
She did it, in a successful way.
As she did a great job with the Amvox Line, and what to say about the Gyro I and II???
Yep, indeed, a great designer, and a young one, what promises other marvellous watches to come, no doubt about it!!!
Best, my friend.

MAGALI METRAILLER, THE INTERVIEW!
Interview with Magali Metrailler, from the JLC Design Department How and why did you come to work at JLC ? I started my career as a home designer, an architect. I earned my diploma in Interior Design in 1995, and another Diploma in Architecture in 1996. T...
Thanks you
BTW, it would be great if you get a simpler nickname...LOLOL Best. Nicolas
Thanx
Thanx for this great interview and thanx to the lady who brought us the beautiful MJLC Compressor series
Thanks Nicolas. An interesting read.
I have to admit most of Ms Metrailler's designs are not my cup of tea but I have to admit she is certainly one of the most successful and prominent contemporary watch designers. - SJX
Enlightening, thank you for the interview.
Of Ms Metrailler's designs for Jaeger-LeCoultre, my favourite is the first Amvox2 with the solid centre. Very appealing and nice integration of the revolutionary case switch engineering. Nice turn of phrase, too - though credit may have to go to the trans...
Now I know....what I did not know that I wanted to know
Thanks Nicholas and Magali for the inisight behind the scenes of how JLC designers work. Regards, MTF
Thanks Nicolas for this fascinating interview.
Full marks, these were very pertinent and searching questions. I'm amazed you were able to stick to the script. Confronted with the ridiculously pulchritudinous Ms Metrailler, I would have probably thrown my notebook out the window and stuttered, "...um.....
What most impressed me were her achievements…
…in a relatively short time of working experience in Jaeger-LeCoultre. Outstanding!!! Marcelo
A designer horology never needed and would be better off without.
She has created some of the ugliest watches in history. I wish her great success in a new career, ASAP.
Interesting topic and excellent pics.Thanks Nicolas!
My impression and image of watch designers have been totally revised.Magali is gorgeous!
Nothing's better than a view " in the flesh ", Fernando
What you just said reminds me that for some few years now, I promised to not judge a piece before having seen it in the flesh, without having examined it very carefully... The same for people, no? Best. Nicolas
