A Couple Of Reasons Why La Grande Maison...

... Is my favorite brand.
The ATMOS Clock. No Winding Key. Gathers Energy Based On Atmospheric Temperature. Almost Perpetual Motion. Genius!
Since 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre has always been an innovator. Besides making timepieces, Antione LeCoultre invented a device that allowed mechanical components to be measured to a thousandth of a millimeter (aka "Millionometer"). This lead to all kinds of innovative and truly bitchin' watchmaking advancements, such as Antione's crown winding mechanism, allowing LeCoultre watches to dispense with the winding key required by all other brands.
JLC's relationship with Aston Martin resulted in some really cool timepieces. I can't afford one of the cars, but I can afford some of the watches. Just one more reason (or reasons) why I love this brand!
More Innovation - The AMVOX II is a chronograph without buttons. Start/Stop is activated by pressing down on the crystal at 12:00. Reset is achieved by pressing down on the crystal at 6:00. Yes, that's just more cool.
It's certainly not difficult to explain to those who frequent this particular forum why I love this brand. Why WE love this brand. One thing I know for sure; once someone discovers Jaeger LeCoultre, the love affair never ends. Maybe it's that constant and persistent focus on excellence. Maybe it's the cool factor, or the traditional factor, or the innovative factor...
Maybe it's being able to execute this....
- That's what I call "Living Art". La Grande Maison!
Cheers!
