Jaeger-LeCoultre

Yep, Magali is to thank

 

Because her planning was awfully busy, with all these new presentations at the SIHH, and she really took the time to make this interview, so I really have to thank her a lot for that.

Best.

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
