Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hello guys!

I trust that you all are having a fantastic mid-week!

As many of you might know already, I have just returned back to South East Asia last week, and boy was i fortunate enough to be invited to a very nice event earlier this evening already! And i have not even stepped foot here one week!

Here's my humble coverage of the evening! The party was of a different atmosphere than from what i was used to in Tokyo, but nonetheless it was wonderful, and i thoroughly enjoyed myself very much!

All thanks to the wonderful staff at Jaeger Lecoultre Marina Bay Sands boutique, and of course to Monsieur Alexis de Laporte!

Hope you enjoy the shots!

Cheers

Stephen

 

The front of the boutique

Folks starting to pour in.

The event card

What a fine marque. Jaeger Lecoultre. Standing for excellence, innovation, and a unique stance in the world of haute horlogerie.

I love the chinese numerals on this piece

And some novelties from SIHH 2011

The highlight of the evening though, has GOT to be this! Everyone was crowding around this masterpiece!

Nice art ay?

Monsieur de Laporte giving his speech rather enthusiastically.

Presenting the new Reversos! And some vintage as well

You know, i have never found myself this attracted to a stainless steel Reverso before.

Rare vintages, the one on the left is one of the very 1st examples of the Reverso since it's birth

Their backs, and the right masterpiece has alot of history in it!

Maybe you can tell by now how obsessed i am over this?!

A parting shot, albeit with lotsa fingerprint marks on it!

Hope you all liked it!

It was indeed marvelous, and very powerful indeed!

On getting it or not, i am not sure, but this is definitely a contender!

A beintot

Stephen

And looks like a great event. 

Comeon, just do it!  Order that 1931 already!

We are looking forward to our own local event here with Seth and the gang.

Was the DSA there?

Because at the end of the day it does not fulfill my criteria.

But, the price makes it so tempting!

The Deep Seas were here, but i was too caught up in the Reversos that i completely missed it! Plus it was an automatic and i guess that did it for me!

Thanks!

Stephen

I wish there was a JLC Boutique in my country…

 

We never get the SIHH show here.

 

Thank you for sharing!

its like the "sweet girl next door", the one that if you bring her home, you know your mom would smile and approve of.

i am smitten by her too.

Best,

Horo

It's absolutely one being transported from the past to the present.

Cheers

Stephen

..

Of which was probably the factor that made me love it!

Ciao

Stephen

Thanks for all the pics. Keep'em coming.

How is Tokyo my friend?

I enjoy it as well and even had a good chat with Mr de Laporte.

Thanks for sharing,

Goh

Wish i could have talk to you yesterday!

Which guy was you btw?

Lol

Stephen

I was there with my eldest son so you should be able to identify me.

Goh

Loved the setup and planning behind it. The canapes by Hilton was excellent.

Many of you might have seen me but i just don't know who is who. Wished bumped into Goh and Blunotte there. I think I remembered seeing blunotte taking pictures.

The marketing manager was extremely pleasant and classy, and Mr Laporte is cordial and hospitable. Heath and Su were serving me and giving me tons of information, allowing me to play with the marvels.

Out of the pieces people wore, I was impressed by an old reverso grande automatique worn by a JLC fanatic- some german gentleman

Saw that usual Korean girl there as well but well, i think she does not understand english.

Glad you liked it - here are a couple of photos of the watch - not mine worn that night but some other gentleman's as posted on this site a while ago.

 My focus, it seemed like most of everyone there, was on the Reverso Tribute to 1931. Less can be more.

Nice to meet u that day. Your name is pronounced as "Derek"?

Thanks for posting this.. great stuff. I'm singapore based and a big JLC fan. How do I find out about these in advance / get invited? Is it as simple as calling up MBS jLC boutique and asking?

Also , might as well post my two very recent additions too....

Cheers

 

One round, one rectangular, this is a Superb Duo.

Lookiing forward to hearing more from you and your passion for JLC,

Best,

Nicolas.

I guess I should introduce you to my other JLC (MC Geo).  Cheers 

Something which caught your interest in the 2011 collection?

Best,

Nicolas.

1. The Master Grand UT Moon

2. TT Reverso 1931

3. Quantiemme Duometre, black dial (only number 3 because I probably won't ever own one..)

Thanks again

... the Reverso Sun Moon is great watch, unfortunately, it is no longer in production!

stefan

It still features on their website: http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/ao/en/watches/reverso-complication/reverso-grande-sun-moon

It was incredibly difficult to find - no AD's had it in the entire island of Singapore - so I would believe it was out of production.  I got it pre owned.

 

Thank you
