If my memory serves me well, Mrs Renier is at the helm pf Jaeger-Lecoultre since May 2018, so roughly 8 months. I had two conversations with her, one in December, and one at the SIHH.

These have been more conversations than interviews. But I can tell you that:
- Mrs Rénier is very passionate about Belle Horlogerie.
- Mrs Renier listens, which is a very important virtue, in my opinion.
- Yes, she wants to " save the soldier Duometre ", and yes we'll have new things with the Duometre. They are working on that.
- Funnily, I told her the same thing. For the customer who wants to buy a 8 to 25 / 30 K Euros watch, there is not many ( not to say almost nothing ) new to buy. At the exception of the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Burgundy, but this is an iteration, not really a new watch.
You will laugh, but on some points, she makes me think of Jerôme Lambert. Dynamic, able to listen, voluntary, passionate about Belle Horlogerie, she is learning very fast, as Jerome did.
To tell you all, I am positively impressed by her. And I am pretty sure we'll have some good years!
Best,
Nicolas

Thank you for the wonderful photos, Nico. Because these enamel guioché dials come alive with the slightest lighting change, here is a video which shows that real life aspect. Source: WatchboxReviews. (If this kind of link is not allowed, please delete thi...

You have not yet shared any portions of your long anticipated conversation(s) with Ms Renier. Since it has been roughly one year since she has been CEO, I wonder, did she play any role in the watches unveiled this past week at SIHH2019? Clearly, the devel...

...with Ms. Renier in one of the three Hodinkee podcasts from SIHH, I believe it’s the first episode. In it she shares not only the highlights of her career so far but also some thoughts on what she sees as JLC’s strengths and future focus areas. Worth a ... 

Writings on the dial

I till don't understand why manufacturers do it. It is like writing on the bonnet of your car "Engine".

Beautiful enamel dial...

sadly the word “automatique” in the sub dial has partially spoilt the design for me. Is it to late for JLC to correct this ?

Well done...

Not an easy thing to give the creators bad news.

They listen but I would prefer them to hear. ;)

I agree with your ending on the flaws. I think it is high time for JLC to add better movement finish for those pieces. (I'm thinking DuoM level). Velociphile

Overall, this blue dial and case make for a gorgeous offering.

I have no doubt the lucky owners will be highly pleased with it. Thanks for the live shots.
