I took the JLC moderation almost 6 years ago ( 3rd of january 2008, if I remember well ), and lived so many crazy moments, with the brand and with you.
I revisited my hard disc and fell on these pictures, which all represent a lot.
Before being a moderator, JC invited me at the SIHH, in 2007.
At this moment, I didn't get that I had to take pictures of watches, only...
But it was before...
In 2007, again, I was invited to attend a surrealist moment, the inauguration of the Heritage gallery...
Jérôme Lambert was at the helm of JLC...
It as also the first time I met our dear friend Jérôme Berder, aka " Dje ".
In 2008, the Paris JLC Boutqique was very small, and you had to wait a long time before being able to go into it.
My first interview with Magali:
And the first protos of the Tribute To Polaris, to not forget!
My Duometre, finally on my wrist...
2009, another exciting year, with some important events such as...
The 24 Hours Le Mans Race... In our own way:
The arrival of the Tribute To Polaris, of course!
And the birth of the Hybris Mechanica, which I had the pleasure to see in avant première at the Manufacture:
2010 was the year I discovered the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication, a slice of dream...
And the unforgettable visit of the Atmos Workshop:
As well as the Striking Watches Exhibition, whch haunted my nights, for many months!
2011 was an intense year, with the unveiling of the Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm, certainly one of the articles I wrote with the biggest pleasure:
2011... The 80th year of the... Reverso, too, with the birth of the Tribute To Reverso 1931, and a superb exhibition dedicated to this icon form the Grande Maison, By the Grande Maison:
2011 was also the 10th year of our virtual and beloved home, Watchprosite, which was celebrated in Vegas:
The most impressive gathering of friends and watchnuts!
2012... Jaeger-Lecoultre organized one of the most impressive event to celebrate the 180th anniversary of the Grande Maison, on two days.
First, a private party at the Musée D'Orsay. Can you believe that they booked the whole Musée D'Orsay only for us?!!!
The day after was totally surrealist, as they organized a party in a parisian grand hotel:
Gyrotourbillonesque!
Earlier in the year, I attented one of the most surprising and mysterious photo session I ever had, in a mysterious parisian place, for the unveleiling of the Deep Sea Chronograph Vintage:
2013 was a rich year, emotionally, and horologically.
It was, of course, the year JLC celebrated their 180th anniversary, with an intresting collection of watches, such as the MUT Jubilé:
Outside the Jubilé Collection, they also gave birth to my favourite Watch Of The Year, the Duometre Unique Travel time, which I had the pleasure to wear during my So Cal trip, another breathtaking moment of these 6 last years:
The So Cal Gang!
" The best Gyros in the world "...
Another trip has to be mentionned, the visit of the Manufacture in April.
I discovered the " Maison D'Antoine ", and lived some mad and funny moments with our dear Dje:
You see, a moderator's life is not only all about fun, but it can also be very serious...
Of course, there are much more watches and events I could have mentionned, here, but this article is already very long...
I wanted to say thank you for the superb moments, and pay a last homage to Jérôme Lambert, for his friendship duiring all these years, too, now that he took the helm of another brand.
Best to All,
Nicolas
