Visit at La Manufacture (Part II)
After a refreshing breakfast at Hôtel des Horlogers, we are almost ready to take our private bus to go to La Manufacture for an amazing day.
The Vallée de Joux is fully covered by the fog but the weather forecast is excellent: a lot of sun and nearly 25°C for the all day !
After a short transfer, we are finally in front of La Grande Maison at about 9.15 AM on Friday morning.
Before entering this house of horological excellence, we just say hello to the creator ;-)
We are now thrilled to start the visit !
(To be continued...)

Visit at La Manufacture (Part IV)

Visit at La Manufacture (Part V)
I was quite intrigued by these small hives in front of Manufacture Jaeger Lecoultre buildings at our arrival... Now I can understand why ! As always, Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture knows how to reward its customers. As a matter of fact, we receive a small b...

We also got those chocolates at the London GTG in summer....
In fact I should eat them soon..!! Did you see any previews at the manufacturer ready for next year..? Great pics, Andy.
These chocolates are indeed delicious...
in particular, the black ones with chunks of crispy almonds. Slurp ! Slurp ! :-) We do not have the chance to see any new pieces from the next collection. Jaeger Lecoultre is quite paranoid... Taking pictures during the visit was strictly prohibited. Best...
some very outstanding photos and very tasteful chocolates

You're welcome
I still don't realize how lucky I was to be part of this visit. Best, Bertrand
