Good idea!
But my watch came without any paperwork! Not that I give a damn, it was one of the best deals I could have ever made - it cost me less than the TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Caliber 36 did back in 2009........ 
I really hope Sebastien is super-happy with his Royal Oak now, his decision to sell this one to me was the best one he could have ever made LoL........ :d
WatchProSite Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture Tour. The thread.
For many years we wanted to organize a Manufacture Tour with Jaeger Lecoultre. Because Jaeger Lecoultre is one the most interesting watchmakers, because our site celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, because our relations with the brand are long and ...
Thanks for the report :)
But is it a PP 5960A i see on the restaurant picture right in the front ?:p
Have been there some years ago with a dealer from Hamburg
It was absolutely great in the factory buildings. And the fondue in the evening as well. Thanks for your report.
Omg...what a treat! I'm envious of this wonderful photo tour.
That last photo was precious and timeless....no words needed to describe such pleasure.
That’s a band of brothers right there !
Looks like a fantastic little trip. One day, hopefully I can join something similar.
You awakened all my memories of being there in 2005
Who could imagine that 17 years could go by so fast, and the experience of fine horology "up front and personal" would remain so compelling. But I suppose 17 years is just a "drop in the bucket" in the timeline of a manufacture like JLC! Thank you Nicolas...
As our mighty Nicolas already described 'le déroulement' perfectly, I will throw in some pics for additional impressions...
... however let me tell you first, that the Manufacture was amazing and Nico did a phenomenal job. All in all, the community experience and interaction with THE PEOPLE, so you guys, was at least equally as great as the JLC tour. The latter one was already...
Alex!!
Thanks mate for taking such quality shots, I'll save the couple where I'm seen in the frame - even though it looks like I'm half asleep (from serious jet lag) in that overhead picture of me scribbling on a pad with Patrick besides me, I promise I was tota...
Man, that effort to fly in from the States is crazy-great in a true Purist way! I love it!
I was also a bit tired after driving home, especially as we encountered some 'chiming' problems on the roads leading out of the valley.... And by the way, I got you in another frame... If I ever return to the west coast (was there pre-pandemic in 2019) I ...
Oh....
he shared with me not only excellent horological stories, but a fantastic gin (Monkey 47), and a top-class steakhouse dinner (masterfully selected by Tomas, if I'm not mistaken) - the 'cherry on top' of my two days in Switzerland ). I am wholeheartedly ob...
You are welcome anytime,
A funny story I can share with you in the context you pointed out in your excellent picture with the cows is that an acquaintance of mine managed to get hit by a cow while driving relatively slowly on a rural road here in California. The cow was looking d...
A fantastic day!
A very good atmosphere and a very nice team of pursites! Macalan forever
Happy to see you guys had a great time at JLC
one of the most stunning manufacture one can visit...perfect blend of artisanal skills and history. that stair case with all movement hanging around - lovely. BTW the Pocket watch chronograph with white dial - killer reference ! Best, mahesh.,
What a tour, what a JLC team and what a Purist team!
What an exceptional experience it was! The reception by JLC was amazing, and all the top experts presented us their know-how and shared their passion for the brand and its products. A big thank you to Nico for organising it with the JLC team, it was fault...
Thanks for the great photos Nico!
It looks like you all had an amazing time. I hope Filip had the chance to chat with Francis Cretin about all things Amvox 2! What have they done to the Hotel des Horlogers! That used to a lovely, traditional Swiss hotel. May be it looked out of place next...
LoL =))
That was in fact something surreal for me! During lunch we spoke about his design process in 2004, how dear to him this design is, and how the crown design was updated shortly after the concept watches were presented not only to mimic the fuel cap design ...
Good idea!

Being able to talk to the designer is very cool.
I am officially jealous 😀 All the best Jon
P.S. ....
The JLC team was obviously exceptional, everyone mentioned here, and others, deserve immense gratitude on our part. Lastly, I can't help but point out that Natassja is THE most fanciful spelling of the name Natasha I've ever come across - would have never...
Thanks for sharing
You were having great time at the manufacture. These post are always interesting to read.
What a tour!
We can probably spend half a day at the wall of movements! Happy to see everyone had an enjoyable time together! Cheers🥂🥂
No honeypot this year...nor Atomium 😬
A cool évent and a friendly moment I guess Best Ø
