Jaeger-LeCoultre

On a recent to Paris with an association,  the program was very thight and time was too restricted to catch up with fellwo PuristS. However i managed to get away for a few hours and to see the famous JLC Boutique in Paris.

Tastefully decorated in Art Deco style, here on the 2nd floor.

you may have seen this historic  Reverso on Pictures before....

...and i am sure all of us are very fond of this Reverso Tourbillon of 1993, made in 500 PCs in rose Gold.

I truly admire these high end Atmos clocks...simple and stunning at the same time.

Atmos Réédition 1934

Atmos Astronomique,  80th anniversary Edition, limited to 48 PCs. I found the following description of the clock: 

Atmos Astronomique
Limited Edition of 48
Inside a spectacular glass cabinet adorned with reproductions of sky charts inspired by the Harmonia Macrocosmica celestial atlas produced by Andreas Cellarius in the 17th century, the Atmos Astronomique houses a complicated movement displaying an equation of time, a month indication and a view of the sky as seen from the Northern hemisphere.

Reverso Répétition Minutes à Rideau. The staff was Kind enough to demonstrate the function of this stunning piece of art to me. I will try to upload the Video sequence later on - bear with me.

Altogether the visit at the JLC Boutique is a wonderful experience, also due to the very kind and helpful staff.

The Paris Boutique is the biggest in the world. And it hides some treasures, such as those you took in pictures.

A pity we couldn't meet!

Thanks for this post, Stefan.

...and i was certainly thinking about the possibility to meet up, Nicolas, but the program was simply too tight. Another time, for sure i will bring more time....and not only more time, but a few more watches as well

to clarify for the minute repeater, you need to pull the shade over the front in order to activate the MR feature?
