If you didn’t know yet (well, now you’ll know), I have a soft spot for vintage-looking dive watches… I know, I’m weak – and I never dive – but when they are done right, I can’t help myself. I already had a thing for the Polaris Date, when JLC presented it at the SIHH 2018. […]
With a multi-axis tourbillon, a meteorite dial, a fully integrated chronograph, hand-guillochage, engraving and a Grand Feu enamel dial, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition GyroTourbillon 3 Meteorite really showcases some of the most amazing skills in watchmaking. But if you want this on your Christmas wish list, you better act fast (and call your banker […]
While the focus has recently been on the sporty/elegant Polaris collection, we shouldn’t forget that the “Grande Maison” is also one of the best representatives of Haute Horlogerie. Jaeger-LeCoultre knows its watchmaking and its métiers d’art and the brand’s latest creation is a superb testimony of this expertise. Meet the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition […]
Back at the SIHH 2018, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced a brand new collection with both vintage and sporty inspiration – something that was clearly missing in the range. Based on the famed “Polaris Memovox” from 1968, the brand developed an entire line-up comprising a chrono, a WT-chrono, a time-only, a Worldtime and of course, an alarm “Memovox” version. Last but not least (and a personal favourite), was the vintage-inspired time-and-date diver, which is the base for today’s novelty, with new “Blue Double Gradient” dial. Meet the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date Limited Edition.
Jaeger-LeCoultre certainly is famous for its minimalistic and Art-Deco watch, the Reverso, or for its elegant Master collection. However, this would be reductive considering everything else the Grande Maison can achieve: métiers d’art, complex movements, superb designs. This year, at the SIHH, the brand introduced both an incredible masterpiece, the Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster, as well as a new design for its high-end Master watches. Combining these two is another impressive piece, with innovative chiming mechanism (and more). Here’s the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Repetition Minutes Perpetuelle.

Earlier this year, during the SIHH 2019, Jaeger-LeCoultre released a triple round of its iconic Reverso. A Reverso Tribute Small Seconds with a superb Burgundy dial and two editions of the Reverso Tribute Duoface join the timeless Reverso family. Like their 1931 ancestor, all three manifestations of the Reverso come with manual-winding movements but flaunt […]
When you think of an elegant and discreet watch, with a certain old-school dandy feel, the Master collection by Jaeger-LeCoultre won’t disappoint. We’ve seen multiple models in the past – QP, Moon, or even the cool Sector Dial editions – and all share that underrated, clean, thin, non-showy elegance that makes them timeless. As part of the SIHH 2019 (yet discreetly unveiled) was an updated version of the flagship model, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon. Sober yet complex!
When introduced back in 1931, the Reverso was designed with one purpose in mind: protecting its dial. It was a watch made for polo players, who needed to have the glass of their watches (at that time still mineral glass) hidden – hence the idea of a reversible case. Since then, such needs aren’t relevant […]
