KAJE_Collector's post celebrates the acquisition of a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grand Tradition Minute Repeater, a piece he had previously missed. This thread beautifully illustrates the perseverance of collectors in pursuing their grail watches and the deep appreciation for high horology, particularly the intricate mechanics and auditory experience of a minute repeater.
I missed an opportunity to purchase this amazing piece three years ago (second hand via a well known watch enthusiast). So, I jumped at the chance when I came across another one a few months ago. I had never seen it in the metal, so the size caught me by surprise when it first arrived. But that is no longer an issue and I am so happy to add this piece to my collection.
