Dave G shares his experience at the 2014 Watches and Wonders show in Hong Kong, offering a glimpse into the haute horology event. His post captures the excitement of seeing numerous high-end timepieces, including the new JLC Ultrathin Repeater Tourbillon, and provides a valuable historical record of the exhibition.
Headed to the 2014 Watches and Wonders show in Hong Kong at the Exhibition Centre this morning. I wasn't sure what to expect of the event and the journey (given the protests in HK overnight). The journey was uneventful and the show was great.
The focus was certainly haute horology and it was great to see nearly everything produced by the Manufacture on display. Between JLC and Lange I spent four hours and will have to go back tomorrow to see Vacheron, Audemars, etc.
The treat was seeing the new Ultrathin Repeater Tourbillon for me...
Some shots in no particular order. The one towards the end is my JLC Amvox II in the listening machine at the Lange location...a bit cheeky perhaps but they insisted.

The Amvox2 represents Jaeger LeCoultre's approach to contemporary sports timing, offered here in the Steel Black series configuration. This 44mm reference positions itself as a substantial automatic chronograph within the Amvox2 collection, distinguished by its monochromatic steel and black dial treatment.
The 44mm steel case houses an automatic movement and features a black dial beneath sapphire crystal protection. Water resistance extends to 100 meters, while a fixed bezel completes the case architecture. The steel construction and automatic movement provide the mechanical foundation for this chronograph reference.
This Steel Black series Amvox2 appeals to collectors seeking a modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports chronograph with substantial wrist presence. The 44mm case diameter and black dial configuration offer a contemporary alternative within the Amvox2 range, providing automatic chronograph functionality in a steel sports watch format. The combination of size, materials, and dial treatment positions this reference for collectors focused on modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports complications.
In 5 minutes! :) Best, Nicolas
you must have had the whole place to yourself? or quite a lot of people did manage to make it down? I'll pop down tomorrow morning afternoon too in that case. Maybe run into you at AP!
Tons of press and staff though. Was outnumbered 10 to 1 :)
incredible pictures...thank you for sharing!
For sharing these wonderful photos from the JLC booth! I wanted to post too but you have pretty much covered with all the pics I have :) I will be attending a JLC master class on Weds (enameling class) - will you be there too? Cheers robin
but, alas, too far and too much money to get there. Now, if I could arrange a business trip..... -Dean
