This year was rumored to be the year that Jaeger LeCoultre brought a new sports watch to market-one that would join the growing ranks of the modern luxury sport category, and (we hoped) would bring a fresh rival to the likes of Piaget, Girard Perregaux, Audemars Piguet, and even Patek Philippe competing in that space. And they have-sorta. Since 2018 is also the 50th anniver [...]

Swiss manufacture?Jaeger-LeCoultre has a reputation for being something of a watchmakers watchmaker, offering every conceivable mechanical complication, often in ways that other brands wont?C or cant?C emulate.

This, I shall point out early on, will be less of a hands-on about the?Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic and more of a burst of thoughts about the modern Jaeger-LeCoultre, as we have it today.

True to its nature, SIHH is not exactly a touchpoint for those who love a simple steel sport watch.
