Jaeger Lecoultre Master Minute Repeater Titanium. The story behind my " avatar ".
Mar 15, 2021,04:40 AM
I got my Master Minute Repeater on the 31th of July 2007. In November of the same year, I changed my car and took delivery of an Audi A5 Coupé. With Poy, we decided to give the watch and the car some photo session.
The funny thing, which could have been terrible, is that I decided to put the watch on the front grill of the car and to secure it with some wires.
Just before taking the road.
After a few kilometers, I just realized that the watch was not on my wrist, but still on the front grill.
You can imagine how I felt... When seconds last an eternity. When you hope that God exists, and that the watch is still stuck on the front grill... Which was luckily the case, with some flies smashed on the glass of the watch.
So, I tested the watch, which is flies and rain resistant to some 3 or 4 kilometers.
Here are the pictures:
The infamous front grill:
On the engine bay, which would have been even more terrible!
Best,
