Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph Cermet Watch Hands-On
We recently featured an exclusive hands-on look at the new for 2013 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual calendar watch. We were excited both by the price and aesthetics of that sexy and slim perpetual calendar with its classic design.

Jaeger-LeCoultre announces the seventh version of their Aston Martin automobile collaboration watches with the AMVOX 7 Chronograph.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Réserve de Marche Watch Hands-On
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 [...]
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Watch for Singapore’s Raffles Hotel
Of all of the world’s many thousands of hotels, very few ever become an icon for the city or country in which they are based. Consider Haiti’s Hotel Oloffson, Dubai’s 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 [...]

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.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon I & II Watches Hands-On
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 [...]
Jaeger-LeCoultre Mad Men Reverso Watch Hands-On
“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 [...]

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Making Timepieces In The Heart Of Watch Country
I am in Switzerland – in the Jura mountains to be exact – and it is snowing. As a California guy I don’t 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 [...]
Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon Watch Hands-On
As SIHH each year Jaeger-LeCoultre is on my short list of brands that I am very excited to see. Their booth isn’t 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 [...]
