Our WatchProSite Visit at the Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture is scheduled!

 
 By: amanico : May 9th, 2022-16:08
My friends, 

For some years now, I have wanted to organize a visit to the Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture. It was first planned in early 2020, but you know too well why it couldn't be achieved. 

Since then, we have tried to find the good moment. And this moment has arrived! 

It will be on the 9th of June 2022, for the whole day. It will start at 8.45 AM and will end at 5 PM. 

I also have the pleasure to announce that we decided, with the Manufacture, to have two groups of 7 people, while, normally, we should have one group of ten people. 

The second great news is the theme of the visit: We will focus on minute repeaters! 

We will focus on the gongs and the mechanism of the minute repeater,with the help and the explanations of a dedicated watchmaker, That will be a striking " Master Class "! 

Here are some pictures of the delicious instruments of torture you will have to deal with. 




I am convinced that we'll live a great moment together. 

Jaeger Lecoultre will offer us the visit to the Manufacture, the " chiming session ", the lunch and the shuttles. 

You will have to pay for the plane or train, the hotel and for dinner ( on the night of the 8th ). We will have a special price on the hotel rooms. 

You can directly come by your own means on the 9th, at 8.45 AM at the Manufacture, but I strongly suggest you arrive the day before, so the 8th. I managed to get one or two shuttles from Geneva Airport to the Manufacture. One around 6 PM, the other around 7.30 PM, to be confirmed ( for the second ). If you prefer the train, I can find a shuttle between Vallorbe and the Manufacture. 

The rule is simple: The first who will answer to this post or contact me by PM will be the chosen ones. 

Best,

Nicolas

It is fantastic that you are doing this...

...so thank you for your time : ) I am home-bound for awhile but I'm sure you will all have a great time. Looking forward to the many photos and impressions of the visit : )

Too bad, it would have been great to have you with us!

We will take some photos for you.

Oh! The JLCs are often quite loud! Often some of the loudest in the world!

True, especially the MGT Grande Complication, Cal 945.

But with three young kids it’s very difficult to make an international trip. Maybe we’ll meet if we make it out to France for my wife’s 40th next year.

Wow, things are going fast, but please, answer to this post, not through PMs or SMS. :)))

BTW, the theme is EXCELLENT....

I never even had the privilege of hearing one of their repeaters in person before, so this is going to be a huge discovery for me; on top of repeaters being one of my favorite complications besides the tourbies.... Your MMR is, to this day, one of my favorite JLCs of all time biggrin....

It will be a thrilling experience.
