Jaeger-LeCoultre

For many years we wanted to organize a Manufacture Tour with Jaeger Lecoultre. Because Jaeger Lecoultre is one the most interesting watchmakers, because our site celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, because our relations with the brand are long and ...  

But is it a PP 5960A i see on the restaurant picture right in the front ?:p

...  

It was absolutely great in the factory buildings. And the fondue in the evening as well. Thanks for your report.

Thanks for sharing Nico!

That last photo was precious and timeless....no words needed to describe such pleasure.

Looks like a fantastic little trip. One day, hopefully I can join something similar.

Who could imagine that 17 years could go by so fast, and the experience of fine horology "up front and personal" would remain so compelling. But I suppose 17 years is just a "drop in the bucket" in the timeline of a manufacture like JLC! Thank you Nicolas... 

... however let me tell you first, that the Manufacture was amazing and Nico did a phenomenal job. All in all, the community experience and interaction with THE PEOPLE, so you guys, was at least equally as great as the JLC tour. The latter one was already...  

any day that is the dream...

Glad you had a great time!

Thanks mate for taking such quality shots, I'll save the couple where I'm seen in the frame - even though it looks like I'm half asleep (from serious jet lag) in that overhead picture of me scribbling on a pad with Patrick besides me, I promise I was tota... 

I was also a bit tired after driving home, especially as we encountered some 'chiming' problems on the roads leading out of the valley.... And by the way, I got you in another frame... If I ever return to the west coast (was there pre-pandemic in 2019) I ...  

he shared with me not only excellent horological stories, but a fantastic gin (Monkey 47), and a top-class steakhouse dinner (masterfully selected by Tomas, if I'm not mistaken) - the 'cherry on top' of my two days in Switzerland ). I am wholeheartedly ob... 

A funny story I can share with you in the context you pointed out in your excellent picture with the cows is that an acquaintance of mine managed to get hit by a cow while driving relatively slowly on a rural road here in California. The cow was looking d... 

A very good atmosphere and a very nice team of pursites! Macalan forever

one of the most stunning manufacture one can visit...perfect blend of artisanal skills and history. that stair case with all movement hanging around - lovely. BTW the Pocket watch chronograph with white dial - killer reference ! Best, mahesh.,

What an exceptional experience it was! The reception by JLC was amazing, and all the top experts presented us their know-how and shared their passion for the brand and its products. A big thank you to Nico for organising it with the JLC team, it was fault... 

It looks like you all had an amazing time. I hope Filip had the chance to chat with Francis Cretin about all things Amvox 2! What have they done to the Hotel des Horlogers! That used to a lovely, traditional Swiss hotel. May be it looked out of place next... 

That was in fact something surreal for me! During lunch we spoke about his design process in 2004, how dear to him this design is, and how the crown design was updated shortly after the concept watches were presented not only to mimic the fuel cap design ... 

But my watch came without any paperwork! Not that I give a damn, it was one of the best deals I could have ever made - it cost me less than the TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Caliber 36 did back in 2009........ I really hope Sebastien is super-happy with his Roy... 

I am officially jealous 😀 All the best Jon

Thanks for sharing!

The JLC team was obviously exceptional, everyone mentioned here, and others, deserve immense gratitude on our part. Lastly, I can't help but point out that Natassja is THE most fanciful spelling of the name Natasha I've ever come across - would have never... 

You were having great time at the manufacture. These post are always interesting to read.

We can probably spend half a day at the wall of movements! Happy to see everyone had an enjoyable time together! Cheers🥂🥂

Looks like everyone had a blast…

A cool évent and a friendly moment I guess Best Ø

Not sure they are waiting for me…. 😬
