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

Thanx for this great interview and thanx to the lady who brought us the beautiful MJLC Compressor series

Interesting topic and excellent pics.Thanks Nicolas!
My impression and image of watch designers have been totally revised.Magali is gorgeous!

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
