Jaeger-LeCoultre

This month, we'll have an eye on some of this year novelties, such as the Rendez Vous Line, and the Men's collection. If you want to know more about some specific watches, let me know... I would also like to show you a vintage piece which is historically ...  

Nico, Forgive my ignorance, but it will be educational for me and others if you can do a post explaining all editions, from the first to the last. Merci, Nilo

Pics have gone, not the text nor the explanations.

I would like to know as much as possible on all of them! :) Best Blomman

When you see the vintage surprise I have to share! Yes, yes! Best, Nicolas

I have now a mattress under my chair! ;) Best Blomman

I'd like to see a more in-depth article on the Duetto Classique Automatic, as I see this (as well as last year's men's Day/Night and this year's Boutique piece) as a forerunner of the 85th Anniversary, when Daniel Riedo said that "The Reverso will undergo... 

You know everything! ;) We'll discuss that one, Dean, no worries. I think it is one of the very inreresting novelties of this year. Best, Nicolas

.. But you are right, - Let's see what's round the corner & what will be rattling in the boxes !... Enough to explore, also to partially uncharted land (?!) Best, hs

So intrigued as to how and what big changes can undergo the reverso?! Do we think evolution on case design? What would we like to see? .... exciting times for all of us ;)

Hopefully something big and innovative.... I would like to see something quite different. ;)

It would be nice to get a little bit on an idea of what we could expect with the new creative direction and thinking around the REVERSO collection coming in 2016. That way we can prepare ourselves... especially if it is 'Radical'!

But you didn't see them... Focus on the present, my friend! Best Nicolas

Are you able to provide me with a link please?

So I would expect this could be a departure from the more traditional Reverso into a more progressive / innovative design of the Reverso case and movement. ...  

the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Complication a Triptyque Watch... just a technical marvel. Could play and steer at it all day! JLC are truely amazing.

2016 will be 10 years later, so it could be time for some new welcomed complicated love :)

Perhaps the 1931 Seconde Centrale is a clue to the future... It uses automatic calibre 966 with central sweep seconds in a larger case. I wonder if this is what the future holds for the Reverso: A larger case, no more "old fashioned" sub seconds, etc. Aft... 

I would suspect a focus on the moon phase in a larger innovative case... but who knows.

Im suspecting something quite different in 2016 for the Reverso.

Seriously though, I do believe what we will see as new innovative Reverso and it will shock us in a good way... well those who welcome change ... im ready I think. ;)

And a pretty crazy one. Based on a Swiss Cuckoo Clok. Each hour, the little bird will go out of its nest.... And strike the hours. But ssshhhh, I didn't tell you nothing. Best, Nicolas

get it out of you... JLC again exceed all my expectations in the fields of complex and innovative movements. I for one cannot wait for this crazy bird... time better fly! ;)

I hear from multiple sources, including two boutique employees, that the Geophysic limited editions are the start of a new line for Jaeger-LeCoultre of Geophysic watches. Was there any discussion of this? I believe Jaeger-LeCoultre brass have also spoken ... 

Who told me the Geophysic was coming in the first place! Then I heard the same thing from anothe JLC boutique manager as he was trying to sell me his last Geophysic. He claimed JLC has manufactured more steel Geophysic watches in recent months and may hav... 

Of 800 pièces, no more... Best, Nicolas

since it would be an insult to buyers of the TT to offer the same watch in unlimited numbers. Perhaps he was mistaken and JLC is simply finishing up the 800 and not producing new ones.

A LE of 800 pièces requires two or three production years, generally. Best, Nicolas
