Jaeger-LeCoultre asked me to hold a presentation about their watches and history…

Been a month of travelling for me…

Family vacation, work trips and in the middle of everything, Jaeger-LeCoultre asked me to hold a presentation for some of their customers.


Always good when you are invited as a guest speaker - no pressure, just fun!

And to be asked to present something you are very passionate about, then even better.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Watches and History – what could be more fun?!

smile

So earlier this week I flew over to Helsinki to meet up with the Jaeger-LeCoultre team.

Helsinki is a very beautiful city, in parts similar to Stockholm with its 1800 century architecture and harbour.

 

In honour of the occasion I had “double wrists”…

The POLARIS on the left…


And the GEOPHYSIC on the right, both the original, of course.


The event where I should hold my presentation was a joint event with Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lindroos (one of Helsinki’s biggest retailers of finer watches & jewellery) and Handelsbanken (one of the larger banks in the Nordic region).


Once at Lindroos I received a very warm and friendly welcome and could see that they very well equipped for the evening!


After presentations held by Handelsbanken and Lindroos (both in Finish so I didn’t understand a word)…


It’s was finally my turn to talk (in English).



My presentation included some of the rich history of Jaeger-LeCoultre and some of their iconic watches.

Like the REVERSO…


The DEEP SEA ALARM…


And the POLARIS!


And their connection to today’s watches and collection.


After the presentation all were welcomed downstairs to Lindroos store.

Antti and his team really made everybody feel at home!

All the attendance had a chance to see the current Jaeger-LeCoultre collection.


As well as some vintage icons…


And Alexandra…


Yes, it looks perfect on your wrist!

Thank you to Handelsbanken and Lindroos for their warm welcome!

And last but not least, a BIG thank you to Erwin, Frank and Alexandra at Jaeger-LeCoultre for this invitation and opportunity to present your brand history – great fun!


 

Best

Blomman

Great to see brands like JLC recognizing their fans that are knowledgeable enough to represent it as a face to the world. So proud of you and all you accomplished.

I hope this is a new approach we will see more of in the future!

It looks like you you showed them all the historical goodies from JLC. I used to live in Hki, many years ago. It’s a wonderful city. I must visit soon. Best Christian

Only some, not all....! ;)

What an honour to be invited by JLC to give a speech about JLC watches. I cannot remember JLC ever asking a private collector to do this. What an honour that they chose you! Having said that, I am not surprised that they did ask you to do it. You are prob... 

Thank you, Baron!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 8th, 2019-12:45
Well, not sure I am the biggest.... But I do go deep into the history... Thank you! Best Blomman

So cool you were asked to make such presentation ! Am pretty sure you managed to catch their attention with knowledge, best watches and lots of complementary ads. Would you tour other countries in Europe ?? ;-) Best karmin

I was travelling "light"...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 10th, 2019-12:17
But yes, some "goodies" I could show! LOL! No plan for a European tour...! Best Blomman
