QUOTE OF THE DAY
Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire 40.5
“The concept is very interesting and smart as I am interested in the technical aspect of watches. I really applaud that Jaeger-LeCoultre made this watch smaller and thinner. It’s more elegant, timeless, more “Haute Horlogerie”…

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon
“The Sphérotourbillon is an exotic complication that is logically accessible. I feel that there has been a lot of focus on the Reverso for its 80th anniversary and now I like to see Jaeger-LeCoultre be both sporty and classic - they have a large capacity for creativity. I am impressed. Can I have one?”

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge
“I really love it, I did not expect something like this from Jaeger-LeCoultre. I have a gut feeling that this is not the last red dial we will see in 2012. But it is not only a fashion statement, it is a positive surprise that makes sense with the fantastic Reverso history.”
