New JLC Pictures. Part II: Outside the Manufacture.

Jun 23, 2013,00:28 AM
 


The Jaeger-Lecoultre Manufacture is impressive inside, with its cortege of rooms, laboratories, desks, rooms, workshops.

You can really loose yourself, inside.

Outside, it is just monumental.

Here are the pictures.

The Vallée de Joux in all its splendor:



On the background, the lake, and the Manufacture:



The Grande Maison is truly Grande:



A Japanese Garden in the Sentier? An architectural blend of Tradition and Modernity, at least.



Best,

There are few brands, only, which can offer such a diversity of high end watches. Jaeger-Lecoultre provided me some nice and fresh pictures of Tourbillons and Minute repeaters, as you can see by yourself. 1/ The Tourbillons: - The Gyrotourbillon One, whic...  

Just mesmerizing, I am still picking up my jaws from the drop:)....

jokes aside, JLC IS really great in my opinion The greatest watch manufacturer due to its diversity, ingenuity, guts, dreams, courage. The pocket watches are sublime, the mouvements awsome. The wrist watches almost from another world. No wonder it is call...

As I thought they quite well summed the spirit and the talent of the Grande Maison, François. You can even save them in your HD, they are worth it! Best, my dear friend. Nicolas

Don't know about the Extreme Lab, definitely not my taste.....

beside the engineering which enables it to run without lubricant, I don't see the grace in this watch. Perhaps, as for The Who, it is too innovative and brutal for me:):) Cheers Francois

Thank you Nicolas

Hi my friend, You brought us a fantastic diaporama of one of the finest manufactures of time masterpieces. The more time passes and the greater my love for their work. After more than 25 years of interest in horology, and around ten years since I know the... 

Well, Jerome, I guess JLC introduced a lot of us in the watch world, my friend.

Through their iconic models, such as the Reverso ( who doesn't know the Reverso??? ) and the Memovox, to quote the two most famous JLC watches, and though the huge diversity of styles. It would be a funny but interesting game to know which model, from JLC... 

Seems like that with the departure of mr Lambert..

Hi Nicolas, Thank you for the pictures, I visited the Manufacture 2 times and the time is never enough, you have to really live there to understand and see everything. The pics remind me of my beautiful trip to JLC. JLC is the brand I like the most. Raman... 

I think that these pictures speak very loud for all of us who did the trip.

I am hopeful of my return there one day. And this time I will be sure to spend two nights in Le Sentier to explore the town in full. It is such a lovely place. I plan to visit in the summer because last time it was all snowy and I didn't get to see much o...  

Yes, Ruckdee. From end of April to early October, this is the good timing, for a trip there.
