Jaeger-LeCoultre

Since July 2009, and till the 15th of March 2010, the Manufacture organizes a superb exhibition about some prestigious watches. This exhibition is organized in 2 parts, which is logical, by the way. First of all, the work on the precision, without which n...  

Feels almost like I was there to see it in person. J The only thing missing is to be able to hear them… It makes me want to jump on the next plane to Switzerland! Thanks for yet another fantastic post! Best Blomman

I missed a sound file for this post...It would have been fantastic to be able to hear all these striking watches, but the soundfile can't give an exact appreciation of their acoustic qualities. Thanks for your input! Best, Nicolas

... is what makes PuristSPro stand out compared to other fora. Fantastic post! Not only entertaining and informational but also educational and part of the learning process for an interested watch enthusiast. Thank you very much for the good work! Best, R...

...they just keep getting better and better! N

Very interesting and exaustive as usual.It s very nice how JLC goes from ancient watches to new ones.That keeps the interest alive throughout the journey.Sometimes,just looking at museum pieces,I get a bit bored after a while. So this is a clever way to d... 

The old and the modern pieces, Mo... Once you get this link, you have a totally different appreciation of the modern production, IMO. There is so much to discover and to learn from the " Grande Maison "... Best, my friend. Nicolas

The Memovox Deep Sea to the left of the Polaris looks very intriguing.

A pure beauty! Will try to post something, as I received a new watch recently... Thanks, my friend. Nicolas

...indeed, Nicolas

Woukld love to see a movement like the Cal 170 adapted to a wristwatch... Even if the Master Tourbillon ( Automatic, tough ) shows some similarities. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Excellent exhibit, you had better beam me over to see it. Then we shall go to dinner Best, -- Richard.

Most interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for all the wonderful posts! Best regards, Baxter

Thank you for posting for those of us who cannot attend. Although I am a bit discouraged by the comments made by the manufacture that they will not pursue a new chronometer category time-only calibre because of not seeing it as "profitable" (statement mad... 

Don't we already have it? Some facts: 1/ JLC won the Chronometry Contest...With 2 pieces. 2/ All the watches are tested following the 1000 Hours control. The specs of the 1 000 Hours Control are more rigorous than the COSC rules. Therefore, if it is not e...

useless trying to do some work while you are around :0) just when I try to organize my daily work new post from you appears .... farewell to paycheck Anyway great read thank you again Best Damian

Why boring yourself with work? Best, my friend. Nicolas

I am really exited to see all these striking mechanisms Jaeger LeCoultre has produced. It was very informative and I have started to love this brand more and more. Thank you.

Being pocket, wristwatch, alarm or minute repeater, and now Grande Sonnerie, they all have Magic in common. They all add some Poetry in the fine art of watchmaking. They all are fascinating! Best, Nicolas

thanks very much, Nico. hope to visit there one day in my life. JLC indeed produces a lot of outstanding movements and watches. stefan

A Visit for a group of Purists! Best, my friend and thanks for your nice comments. Nicolas

part of this exhibit, glad to see the finished product. Were you able to see the "wall of movements"? That was really something too. So much history in this magical place and so many different movements over the centuries--I could have stayed a week. Than... 

And I saw this " wall of movements " 2 times. The first time in October 2007, for the inauguration of the Heritage Gallery, and the last time in Ocotber 2009, when I spent 2 days at the Manufacture to prepare all the topics I posted and those I still have...  

magnificent nature of what JLC has done. There are so many creations here and what was even more incredible, the number of "movements" that they did not show in the "wall". I truly could have spent many more days just viewing the "Wall". What a place inde... 

as this week I was at the JLC Manufacture and I saw the exhibition. It was indeed very interesting and the part with the repeaters was impressive. But the part that impressed me most from the visit, was the 'wall' with the calibres. Unfortunately, we (I a... 

Nobody is allowed to take pictures inside the Heritage Gallery, for Security Reasons... Sad, but it seems that it is necessary, for the moment. I hope that one day, it will be ok, because there are so many treasures to see there! Here's the picture you wa...  

Aaaaahhhhhhh, an audio room filled with Memovoxes, Minute Repeaters.... want that for my birthday. Great post, damn shame I cannot make time to pay a visit. So I'll wind up my Reveil, take place in the closet and listen to the sound. Not nearly your visit... 

You can be proud of it! Thanks for your nice comments, my friend. Best, Nicolas

..is just fantastic. Looks even better in the test-case. Thanks for this post, Nico

While nothing beats seeing it in person, this informative post makes up for those of us whom aren't able to attend. Thank you for bringing it here, for us. Best, Goh

For a great post and your enthusiam. I would love to see that Geophysic set. Its too bad the exhibition is ending as Im planning to visit in july - do you know if they have anything planned? All the best Christian

There will be another exhibition. I will tell you more in a very few weeks. As for the Géophysic set, you will be able to see it in the flesh at the Manufacture, my friend. Or in Paris ( only the watch ) if you come there! Very Best, Nicolas

that sounds great. Im very exited to hear what it is as for coming to Paris I hoping to go it the autum all the best my friend christian

As for this next Autumn, I count on you! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-03-11 03:27:29

Would be great, indeed! Best, Nicolas

...of the most wonderful delicacies! Another classic post from you, Nicolas! Thanks so much. I enjoyed it thoroughly. You know what I dream about? I dream of visiting Le Sentier with you and Dje and having both of you guide me through all the wonders at t... 

And so many kind people to meet! We really have to try organize something. Best, and thanks for your kind comments, Sister. Nicolas

What a phantastic post Nicoals. While i didnt have the chance to see the exhibition with my own eyes, (and enjoy the sound), you really made it possible for me to be there for a few moments. thank you so much, Stefan
