A Jaeger-LeCoultre Exclusive - Tour Of The Luxury Watchmaker, Grand Complications & GyroTourbillon

Today we kick off a series recently filmed during my 2017 Switzerland tour. In this first episode I visit one of my favourite Swiss luxury watch makers, and share the journey from raw materials to finished timepiece with a brand renowned for their in-house manufacturing. Jaeger-LeCoultre is like no other brand, with a long history of innovation and a plethora of iconic timepieces that proudly bear their name. In this exclusive, behind the scenes video, we take a look at some astounding ATMOS clocks, highlights from their museum, and awe inspiring watches featuring many of their grand complications. From the famous Reverso, to a duo-metre chronograph, a perpetual calendar with a Tourbillon, and of course, their insanely cool GyroTourbillons, Jaeger-LeCoultre is truly a legendary brand.

[@theurbangentry]

must be nice to be rich and white

[@NenadPantelic]

Brilliant video, a real pleasure to watch. This is the type of content rarely seen on KZbin, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the opportunity to have a exclusive peek into JLC's factory. Congrats TGV!

[@drae]

Absolutely amazing to see the insides of such an amazing establishment.

[@1973noshad]

Mate you look like a kid in a sweet shop smiling ear to ear. Easy to see you really enjoyed it.

[@KDL917]

This is one of your best videos of all time, TGV. Thoroughly enjoyed this. So glad to see you really moving onwards and upwards!

[@jameshoward9700]

An oldie, but a goodie! Great vid - that must have been a fantastic experience. Dude, those were treasures of horology! La Grande Maison, indeed.

[@mangyaninspirit]

This vid brings this channel on a whole new level over the rest of the pack. Thank you for letting us tag along with you, TGV!

[@fimajo4777]

One of my favorite videos ever made! Thank you TGV!

[@sophiefurley2342]

Truly brilliant! I am blown away how you edited this. Bravo!

[@pamtnman1515]

Thank you for your art work on our behalf, Sophie.

[@PhilipWing]

One of the best episodes of the entire show. Amazing stuff TGV, thanks for bring this to us, a pleasure to watch.

[@LongTran-yv2nq]

It was an absolute joy to go through this video! Thanks, TGV, for bring us this opportunity to learn more about JLC, especially bring us up close to those stunning tourbillons!

[@pth8888]

Thanks for bringing us along for the tour! Awesome!

[@047x]

It’s just marvelous ! I couldn’t choose appropriate words to appreciate such a care for their history and respect for the “Art of Watchmaking”. Also thank you for being such a gentleman and posting your own personal experience on KZbin. I’m a big fan and a watch enthusiast, starting my collection with the Seiko Alpinist. You inspired me a lot in making this decision. Hope u continue to amaze us with ur great videos, I must say they’re a gift for Watch collectors.

[@smiley4288]

You Sir are a legend, I’m not a watch mastermind but your stage by stage tour was epic and the gyroscopes blew my mind!!! Well done, epic !!! 😎

[@sdamico555]

Hard to put into words what this videos captures. The attention to detail and real world 21st century craftsmanship is jaw dropping. The fact that this happens in this day and age of instant gratification and right now manufacturing truly does my heart good. The Rotating Tourbillions are nothing short of staggering. I knew they existed, but never gave them any attention due to the price and rarity, but I think I did myself a bit of an injustice. Knowing the effort that goes into these 2 year to produce products just makes me appreciate my little SARB and my Omega that much more. Very well made video, that had a sense of culture and mystique about it. Must have been a mecca of sorts for you Tristiano. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@marcusawyong2531]

I thoroughly enjoyed this magical and educational tour. Very excited to see what you have in store for the rest of your Switzerland tour series!

[@stephenrhodes7758]

It was a joy to watch the tour of their factory & museum. Such beautiful watches as well.

[@VictorMartinez-xm1kh]

Absolutely beautiful timepieces. The craftsmanship that goes into building these is quite mind boggling. The Tourbillion is unreal. Awesome learning video. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@joeloverti672]

In a word: breathtaking. Thanks for taking us along!

[@adamlicht6614]

Loved watching this segment! What a fantastic experience; thank you for sharing it with us!

[@chrissantos5630]

Really happy for you mate- been watching since 34000, every time I watch a video you have more subscribers! Glad to see that even the big brands have the vision to see the importance of your channel. Keep up the good work

[@Davitamon76]

Thank you! This was a treat to watch. Can't wait for the next video's!

[@jls5984]

TGV, Thank You so much for producing this video tour. Last night at dinner I decided to play it on our big screen while watching dinner and my wife and daughter were fascinated. It is seldom we can find anything to watch at dinner that we all like especially with the doom and gloom of the news and these tour programs are just the ticket. We will continue to watch them at dinner until there are no more to watch and will watch the next tour tonight! Also a huge shout out to the production quality, music and editing of these programs, they especially look and sound good on our 4k TV and soundbar with subwoofer, very professional. We look forward to seeing more and Thanks again. Joe / Northern Calfornia

[@Teachering]

My favourite Jaeger-LeCoultre is the Master Control Date. I am attracted to this watch for its looks and its simplicity. A lovely wristwatch. Very soon, now. All that JLC creates speaks of beauty and ..... Time. A very entertaining and informative video, TGV. Well done! I've been enjoying your new website.

[@forallthingsblack]

Lovely, how exciting to do that, great tour and fantastic video Tristano! Should I say I’m not surprised that a brand like JLC’s factory is that classy and exquisite!? When I am back in Switzerland I will definitely be going to do that! Best, Matt H.

The JLC Factory tour is...sublime. Those masterpieces [can’t just call them watches ~ sacrilege!!!] expose & Detail THE #1 Human ‘Gift’...Imagination. I could/WILL Watch (Pun?/!) this Video for many hours. You’ve ‘NAILED IT’ w/ your Swiss JLC Factory coverage - I know it took my breath away... Kudos!!

[@wernerjacq]

Dear Sir, it is a pleasure to see the joy and happiness this visit has brought you, your eyes’ expression gave it all away. It’s clear this is not a visit rather than a pilgrimage... I have really enjoyed your video, because of your passion, it is all the more interesting for the viewer. It makes me eager for what is to come next. Jaeger Lecoultre is a brand I also love a lot because of all the ingredients they do so well. Warm greetings from Belgium to you sir.

[@paredair]

Some breath-taking and astounding pieces!

[@issealo7990]

This is some quality stuff right there.

[@jamesshives5679]

Isse Al O Sorry, grammar nazi here, if you say "this" the proper word would be "here", not "there". You would say "there" if you said earlier, "that" For example: That is some quality stuff right there. This is some quality stuff right here. Sorry, I know, annoying grammar police. Heck, it could have just been a typo and I am making this comment for nothing.

[@TheN0t0ri0usDJC]

This was a really captivating episode to watch. Thank you for sharing

[@tomosluke446]

Just come back from New York and was so impressed with the amount of Watch shops there! I constantly thought to my self ‘what would you think of this watch’ I was so tempted to get a citizen automatic from the shop in Times Square however its the one that got away! Thank you as always for giving me the bug of loving watches! Diolch my friend Tomos

[@DarioCruzII]

Amazing! So cool to get an inside look at the factory and museum.

[@themrgumbatron]

Thanks for walking us through the Jaeger LeCoultre manufacture and new museum

[@kjeldpedersen666]

Hi TGV Fascinating to see a real watch factory from the inside. No wonder that watches are quite expensive when you see the kind of effort and machinery that goes into it. More of this... Keep up the good work👍

[@normanswift5048]

Fantastic tour of a legendary watchmaker. Many thanks TGV.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Norman :D Always appreciated. Best regards, TGV

[@RamSkirata]

What an incredible video, very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

[@denisgratton6122]

Superb video. Many thanks for sharing such a wonderful experience.

[@dcthomson12345]

Need to get home and put my Reverso on. Thanks for an amazing video, TGV

[@ronmelincoff1141]

What an amazing visit you clearly had. Thank you so much for sharing your time there. One of my most cherished members of a modest collection has been a Master Control Mecaquartz Master Chrono. Yes..mecaquartz!! A uniqueness shared, I believe, with IWC. Wonderful to see it's birthplace!

[@fuchtler10]

Wonderful video with a lot of inside information! Thanks a lot!

[@frenchgrizzly6549]

Fantastic...the most beautiful video on watches i 've ever seen ! A complete tour of the factory, but with TGV's style... nothing compares to your chanel. Best regards. ( accent of the french man in english is the same as yours in french...)

[@TheDamnSpot]

Just a top shelf video. It was very enjoyable.

[@veratawiah3736]

yet again another stunning intro thank you best regards

[@philcostello2752]

Just an amazing video. Really opening my eyes to what was an interest and now turning it into a passion. Thank you

[@DudeEsq]

Just stumbled upon this video. Those tourbillon watches are absolutely amazing. Incredible innovation and craftsmanship. Thanks for posting.

[@laurensnoy5778]

I am so hyped for the next episode :D.

[@MrBillboeing]

Nice informative video. There you can see how much workmanship and experience is needed to produce such an incredible watch. Keep on going with this awesome videos.

[@michaelperry289]

Wonderful video. Keep making more of these. JLC has quickly become one of my favorite brands.

[@shanenelson3438]

Loved the tour! Very cool video

[@BlueThe3rd]

Superb video, congratulations! great camera work, excellent editing, balanced choice of topics, 5 Stars for each aspect. But what really tops it, and what is less of a technical achievement, is your natural attitude throughout the video. The joy and excitement in your eyes, posture and voice actually work as a kind of magnifier for the beauty of JLC. By being so authentic, you are less of a character - like so many others, who pose on KZbin - and more of a physical channel, a medium for our common interest. Respect.

[@davidwain4949]

Great video. Some serious production value here. Thanks for posting.

[@brunopcan]

What a fascinating video and company! The Atmos clocks are such a beauty, I've never seen them before.

[@FunWithAJ]

Fabulous video. It made me appreciate the brand much more. What an art.

[@jileel]

People have said it a million times but your intros are wonderful.

[@kennethtrainor4842]

Awesome adventure! Great content as well as a fantastic learning and cultural experience. The effort you put into your videos shows. Thanks!
