JLC Watchmaking Week - Around the World

JLC celebrates 175 years

Atmos clock celebrates 80 years

Ngee Ann City is a large shopping mall in Orchard Road, Singapore. Within - are many boutiques for the familiar luxury and watch brands we have come to love so much. Even the vastness of this shopping mall is insufficient for the crowds expected at the JLC Watchmaking Week (17 - 22 July) that launches their global celebrations. So, they built a 'structure' in Civic Plaza at the entrance to the mall.

The exhibition will eventually move on to Malaysia, France, Germany and China so PuristS in those countries can also enjoy the celebrations. We look forward to all your comments and experiences here.......

JLC WATCHMAKING WEEK

There will be JLC heritage exhibits and hands-on classes about watchmaking and movement decoration.  I had already been to a couple of previous JLC Master Classes and gave up my place because demand was so high from more deserving PuristS.  Aarrghhh - later, I found out a new movement caliber was being taught at this event.......     

Never mind, some more erudite watch-geek can tell us all about it later.

ATMOS

Another highlight is the 80th anniversary of the Atmos clock. This marvel of near perpetual autonomy has been an object of both love and dissent in the MTF household. The current Mrs MTF and I love the concept but cannot agree on the style, so we have vacillated for nearly a decade on which ONE iconic clock to buy......

I'm a little bit Country and she is kinda RocknRoll  -  sigh  - it ain't going to happen.

TIMEWERKE magazine has collaborated with JLC to produce limited copies of a special booklet "Atmos - The Secrets of Eternal Life" for participants at the exhibition. But not to panic, folks, the booklet will also be a supplement inside the next edition of TIMEWERKE.

Meanwhile here is a sneak peek that we had to sit on until today.........

Best regards,

MTF
