I decided this year to show you the new releases we'll have the pleasure to see in Geneva, at the SIHH.
Here, you will only see the official pictures, and, of course, we'll see all those new watches, one by done, in a more detailled and dedicated article.
GENERAL THOUGHTS:
As often, with Jaeger-Lecoultre, several ways have been explored.
- The return of a certain classicism, with some famous models revisited, such as the all new Master Control, Master Reserve de Marche ( RDM ), Reversos ( Red Dial, White Dial, Small Seconds ), and a superb Reverso Skeleton surrounded by a sublime blue enamel.
- The birth of some new watches, such as a superb Reverso Triple Date, strongly linked to the Past of the Grande Maison, or the Deep Sea Vintage Chonograph, 2 Subdials, or the new Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon.
- Some less affordable models, and here, how to keep under silence the Duomètre à Spherotourbillon?
One more time, Jaeger-Lecoultre show their interest for reasonnably sized watches, with a new case, on the Master Control, and to develop their models on the superb ultra thin case.
The Reversos still seem to be the stars, this year, with the unveil of many tempting iterations.
