Jaeger-LeCoultre announces the seventh version of their Aston Martin automobile collaboration watches with the AMVOX 7 Chronograph. It marks eight years of working together with the auto maker on a watch which began with the kitschy idea of having a function that allows you to lock and unlock your Aston Martin car with a luxury watch. Moving forward, the AMVOX collection has become [...]

For class and confidence it is hard to beat a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master collection timepiece. When I say this I mean two things. First of all, these are formal timepieces meant for fancy occasions and suits. A smart person could pull it off casually, but this is an elegant creation before it is a sport watch for sure. Second, the design, movement, an [...]

Of all of the worlds many thousands of hotels, very few ever become an icon for the city or country in which they are based. Consider Haitis Hotel Oloffson, Dubais Burj Khalifa (as seen in MI4: Ghost Protocol) or the Bellagio Hotel of Las Vegas. These are hotels that have become international set pieces and back drops that make up part of the visual mindscape that many p [...]

For many people, today July 20th, 2012 is another Batman day as the latest movie hits theaters. The third Chris Nolan Batman movie opens and brands are eager to capitalize on Bat-fever. In the The Dark Knight Rises Bruce Wayne (played by Christian Bale) wears a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Date. I look forward to seeing if that is a noticeable [...]

Jaeger-LeCoultre has been riding a wave of high praise in the wake of their SIHH announcements of vintage-inspired watches, such as the Tribute to Memovox Deep Sea of 2011 and the Tribute to Deep Sea Chronograph?from earlier this year. While we like tributes as much as the next guy, we really like it when a watch manufacturer, especially one as well-regarded as JLC, can dig deep [...]

It might have been about 2005 that Jaeger-LeCoultre released the first Gyrotourbillon watch. When it came out, it caused a real stir and it was released during what I call the tourbillon wars. During this time brand after brand began to release tourbillon escapement-based watches. This was interesting because the entire idea of a tourbillon was to be complicated and ex [...]

The 1960s was the sexiest era in US history. I am paraphrasing Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner after interviewing him in conjunction with the launch of the limited edition Mad Men Reverso watch known as the Mad for Reverso piece. His personal love of the era easily transcends through the show. It was about time for the eras style to make a comeback. And it sure [...]

As I write this review I am actually freshly back from a visit of the Jaeger-LeCoultre manufacture in Le Sentier, Switzerland. In the watch industry the Jaeger-LeCoultre manufacture is considered a special place because it is a serious factory where both cases and movements are made which is a rare combo. I got to see a lot of Rev [...]

I am in Switzerland-in the Jura mountains to be exact-and it is snowing. As a California guy I dont see much snow. In fact, the only times I have really seen snow in my life has been in Europe. The place looks like something out of a Christmas card. There is white covering the ground and lining the trees while quaint little buildings spew puffs of smoke out of their chimneys. It is all ver [...]

As SIHH each year Jaeger-LeCoultre is on my short list of brands that I am very excited to see. Their booth isnt design by people who work at Universal Studios, and their watches are cool creations that real people might actually wear. This applies to both their reasonably priced pieces and more exotic fare like this new version of the D [...]

Now isnt that pretty?? This is a special Milan Boutique edition of the newer Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin watch. The version with the limited heritage dial that is. According to Jaeger-LeCoultre in the 1930s red (among other bright colors) were very popular for wrist watch dials. This model has a bright red lacquered dial. I dont [...]

Ask anyone interested in quality mechanical watches and they will tell you that Jaeger-LeCoultre makes a fine timepiece. Through its rich history, the brand has succeeded in almost universally having watch fans get excited about their movements and quality.Jaeger-LeCoultre has achieved the difficult task of sett [...]

Ill be really frank that I have no idea who or what Zep is. I mean I know a bit more now after researching and writing this article, but seeing his little smoke plume-haired character for the first time was a novel experience. I guess it is a Swiss/European thing. What Tin Tin makes it international but Titeuf and Asterix are Euro only? Having said that, I do love ca [...]

One of the more interesting high-complication watches for Jaeger-LeCoultre this year was the Reverso Repetition Minutes ?? Rideau. The oddly named watch (if I see more than one accent mark my eyes start to glaze over) actually just translates into minute repeater via curtain. Being a Reverso the watch has two dials, one of which is covered with a sliding me [...]

Jaeger-LeCoultres answer to the thin watch in 2011 was with their Reverso. Many of the Richemont brands were releasing their own slim watches, and I think the Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin is one of the sleeker models. As of now it will come in at least four versions. Some unlimited models including one with a more typical Reverso face guilloche engrave [...]

Coming in three slightly different models, this is the Jaeger-LeCoutlre Master Grande Tradition a Tourbillon watch with the Calibre 978 automatic tourbillon chronometry competition winning movement. Super traditional, but very nice. Just what you think of when you desire an in-house made JLC tourbillon movement based timepie [...]

It wasnt until I put this watch (I mean watches) on my wrist, that I understood why Jager-LeCoultre wanted to make it (again). The Memovox Deep Sea was the brands first real dive watch made in 1959 until the early 1960s. I read that 1,061 pieces were ever produced. Getting one today (in any condition) is an almost impossible task. And there you have yo [...]

Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre released this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar? (ref. 16124SQ) watch and it still looks beautiful today. With an original price of about $100,000 , there are (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black frosted movement is amazing to look at, but youll have to forgive the design for making you hunt a bit for all th [...]
