Unfortunately, they couldn't take out the watches from their display cases for photographs nor for chiming.

When they make these cases, they're sealed so the watches look pristine and the cases have no dust. To allow handling of the watch, even handling with gloves, would cause a lot of risks (droppage, loss, damage) that would prevent future visitors from being able to see the watches. So for this reason, generally at exhibits by any watch brand, we're not really able to see the watch in action.

Reminder: The Soundmaker Exhibit in New York City
By: patrick_y : September 21st, 2021-16:07
I had the privilege to tour the Soundmaker Exhibit in NYC yesterday. This is a special event hosted by Jaeger-LeCoultre in New York City from 21-September-2021 through 06-October-2021. Please visit if you can! Located in the trendy and luxurious Meatpacki...
Indeed!

And they provided so many "consultations" and "solutions" for other brands too, including the big ones like Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet. It's a pity that Jaeger-LeCoultre doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
I'm a bit confused.

How is it a sound exhibition if you can't hear how they sound? Very strange. Do they have speakers with sounds of each movement, or a headphone 'tour' with the sound of these timepieces?
You Bring Up A VERY Good point!

I don't think they have any of that! No audio tour was offered to me (probably because nobody wants to share headphones during COVID). Let's say you're a person who's never heard of Jaeger-LeCoultre nor doesn't know what a minute repeater even is... In ot...
You just have to tell them...

"I am here at the SOUNDMAKER EXHIBITION and I have a reasonable expectation to hear some sound, can you please find some watch to make some sound for me?" And the JLC employees will probably need to figure out something.
A solid review!

A very fair review! A beautiful event, but a lot of missed opportunities, and it's not clear for someone who doesn't really know watches...
It was pretty darn good!

The wine tastings at a winery that I'm a member of is $125. Which I think is a little high, since a $125 dinner (without wine) at a nice restaurant is more impressive and enjoyable than a $125 wine tasting. BUT, I'd definitely say this JLC event is a much...
JLC EXHIBIT NYC

I am expecting to visit the exhibit this afternoon--- Will anyone else (WPS participants) be there today???
Terrific Exhibit

Threatening weather..only one other person was there. Enjoyable lunch at Pastis
I like thicker French fries.
By: patrick_y : October 6th, 2021-16:46
The pomme frites were too skinny. I like them thicker so there’s more fluffy potato inside. The rib eye steak was pretty good. But the best was the company. Being able to see a friend for dinner.
Light lunch for me
