Jaeger-LeCoultre

Dragons. It's a fictional animal that the West and the East agree on - and interpret very similarly. This cross cultural fictional animal is now the latest to grace the back of the Jaeger-leCoultre Reverso timepiece. The dragon uses 10 differently sized c...  

What does Amanico want? A Western Dragon? Maybe a backside with an enamel painting of a Vermeer or a Monet? The last time I was at L'Orangerie, they had closed the Magritte exhibit! I was so sad! I like Magritte and the juxtaposition and paradoxes in his ...

I wonder - is JLC only doing the animals that will sell well? Tiger? Dragon? There are other animals like the rabbit that seem to have been skipped - probably because dragons and tiger sell better? That would make it a money grab in a sense.

I wonder what they're going to do in 12 years when it's another year of the dragon?
