Jaeger-LeCoultre booth tour with CEO at Watches and Wonders 2024

[@PhilGuidry]

I don’t know what to applaud more: Time & Tide’s coverage of W&W, or JLC’s amazing presentation and timepieces. Congrats to all!

[@AmitBhandari82]

Seriously. Absolutely amazing coverage by the whole team. KABLAMO! ❤

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Hahaaaa KABLAMO should have a TM like JLC’s tagline 😂 Thank you Phil for the kind words 🙏🏻

[@michaellauren2844]

Great interview! First and foremost, Catherine is by far the classiest woman and CEO in the watch industry! Catherine, you have set up the best examples by your leadership. I recently had the pleasure and privilege to visit your new boutique in NYC and the entire staff especially Alex Tataru and the Assistant Manager Jennifer Argoso were so helpful and knowledgeable about the JLC brand that it made it simple to purchase my first JLC piece. I was fortunate enough to get the new Chronograph Reverso . I absolutely love it! Michelangelo

[@Timeandtidewatches]

What a piece! In the Top 3 pieces of 2023 for sure - shout outs like this are super powerful, bravo 👏🏻

[@aminreviews2311]

Always enjoy Catherine’s presentation of JLC novelties 👏👏👏

[@Timeandtidewatches]

As do we - an eloquent, passionate superstar 🙌

[@Omega30t2RG]

JLC doesn't divide opinion.Everyone has respect for this great company that doesn't have an image problem.

[@MayorMcCheese2000]

The shaping of the hair spring being displayed made it for me... the beauty of appreciating that piece and thus appreciating the craftsmanship of each piece, makes the human element very forward facing in the presentation of not only the pieces themselves but the company as a whole... I find it incredibly endearing.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

It’s a singular experience for us every year, couldn’t agree more.

[@frankmanitta4870]

JLC is an amassing brand. I have always sat on the outside of the dance floor waiting for a chance to dance. Now is the perfect time to dance the light fandango

[@JoeyJiggles]

JLC killed it! Quite possibly best watch of W&W

[@themrgumbatron]

Another outstanding year for JLC novelties. There's a reason why you picked them to be the "first cab off the rank" this year.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Well said Lex, what a way to start W+W - pole position!

[@galenmarek6949]

Thank you for this great video!

[@bennychen7433]

Amazing discussion between two amazing people!

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Andrew and Catherine look forward to this interview every year 🤝

[@AiwenDewnarain]

Amazing pieces of art ❤. Manufactured with so much passion and love

[@Timeandtidewatches]

You can feel it from Catherine - no hype, just passion.

[@jimt7292]

That JLC is gorgeous!

[@ozmondos]

I think this year JLC, GS & IWC had the best releases.

[@Newerasamearea]

Jlc by a country mile.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

JLC and IWC had HUGE year for technical flexes - Andrew

[@chowda4u]

Absolutely stunning!

[@clintonshiells3095]

This is the best presentation of JLC that I’ve seen, many thanks

[@Ayztv]

Love this brand, the chef at the end! Amazing!

[@barfymann362]

JLC is brilliant.

[@willtaylordrums]

What a great video.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Thanks Will - I'm obsessed with Drumeo, so it's good to see a drummer around our parts - Andrew

[@mramed8448]

Big respect ❤

[@waldorfstatler8476]

The greatest watch I have ever seen, wow!

[@陳鈞沂]

JLC is doing JLC thing!

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Well said - and it's good to see. Authenticity.

[@ftgphoto]

The Watchmaker of watchmakers letting the watch world know JLC still holds the title.

[@firminshepherd4834]

Impressive stuff! Interesting presentation style, more direct to camera/audience than between the two people on screen. Kind of effective.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Thank you - we hope the energy transmits through the screen, as it's electric being there - Andrew

[@firminshepherd4834]

For sure! Keep up the great work, Andrew!

[@wagsbass]

Congratulations Himanshu

Great job guys

[@escatel6889]

[@alectang1614]

Excellent video Andrew. But disappointed that JLC seems to have got rid of the German Silver movement from the old Duometres which was a standout, Lange level feature. Shame.

[@artaudcharles]

Sensational

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Indeed

[@jordanfamily9134]

Hope she can turn around JLC’s fortunes. I own seven of their pieces, but the excitement has waned a bit over the past 25 years.

[@alectang1614]

Not really been the same since Jerome Lambert left.

[@lupodisol]

I love this complication…..hopefully Swatch Group will produce a copy of this watch for about $400 dollars.

Too bad JLC is pricing themselves out of potential customers.

[@JJ-fb1pw]

Mastery of craft, but clownish price rises making sure fewer people will ever enter the brand.

[@allenmurrell]

Honestly, their prices before were ridiculously cheap compared to the market. when they introduced that master ultra thin moon blue dial for $7k US I saw the first one in the US. I just handed my wallet to the salesman. Unfortunately it was pre-production so he could not sell. The JLC USA guys were there in the room. Perhaps they took note of my reaction....

[@jameshoward9700]

Gimicks and whimsy. All the fancy light shows can't disguise the fact that JLC has run out of ideas. Sales are down, prices are up and these complications are largely rehashed watchmaking from the '90s and '00s. A terrible shame, but this is another Richemont brand selling stories, but delivering little beyond price gouging. Better watches need to come soon.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

What would you like to see?

[@alectang1614]

Not only that, I just noticed that they got rid of the German silver for the Duometre movements! That was a standout feature for them. A moonphase replacing a scrolling digital minutes counter for a chronograph is hardly revolutionary either, if anything it doesn't make any sense.

[@jameshoward9700]

@@Timeandtidewatches Ok. Bring back original, understated watchmaking, with smaller sizes, less obvious (Richemont bling) design and fair pricing (as it was). Specifically, complete reworking of the weak Polaris line, improved design and reducing case size of the Master collection and some imagination and variety added to Reverso (Ti? Rubber? Waterproof?: subtle sport - this is a sports watch, not a dress watch); ditch the bling from Rendezvous and improve the finish quality while reducing size and cost of Duometre.

[@tm55555]

@@jameshoward9700 Reverso on rubber is absolutely awesome, I am running a Reverso Chrono tribute on a rubber strap set with tang buckle it makes it way more sporty feeling (catouchuc or however you spell it)

[@deezknuts07]

The heliotourby incredible. Clean face and shows off the tourby all at once. Does it come in a blue leather strap?

[@dickl6457]

The reality is if JLC keeps making super complicated movements that tailored to a few persons in the world, JLC will collapse!! JLC needs to make simple watches for the mass with reasonable price not the inflated price from last price raises.

[@shamaldass241]

This is an exceptional year for JLC...flexing their muscles!!

[@Timeandtidewatches]

💪🏼 💪🏼

[@Superdada]

Agreed.

[@MNKLJHBG]

JLC, like no other. They have magicians not watchmakers!

[@Timeandtidewatches]

The high comps workshop is literally like Hogwarts - so you're right.

[@thegosudriver]

JLC makes great watches, but their after sales support and service is utter trash. I sent out my Master Control Perpetual Calendar out for service, and got it back with dust and finger prints in the movement, the removal of the original dial (which I requested they not do) and imperfections in the new dial they provided, the sapphire on the display caseback was completely uneven with rough edges. So this whole "watchmaking precision" garbage is all marketing. This isn't just a JLC problem it seems, but for the "watchmakers watch" they need to step their game up.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Hopefully the brand are reading and reach out.

[@thegosudriver]

@Timeandtidewatches they offered to cover service charges, but it had to go back three times, twice to Texas and then once to the Maison across the seas, where they lost it for an entire month. I ended up selling the piece after that, it really left a bad taste for me. For a high end piece to be treated like that; I can only imagine how they handle anything else.

[@Superdada]

The technical prowess of JLC was on display. This was a “let us show you what we can do” kind of year. Amazing.

I like the Reverso. I like the possibility to make it uniquely yours. I don’t know of any other watch that compares

Pls make Reverso Titanium , Water proof 100 M , Lume , Rubber straps and 3 Sizes . I hope Madame Reiner will read this .

[@indy0t0]

All these talk about precision, but nowhere does it indicates the accuracy... No COSC certification nor METAS... 😅

[@Timeandtidewatches]

This watch is a little beyond to be fair, and is a relatively new idea - that a watch like the Bulgari Ultra COSC would bother getting a cert, but it's a good development, we may see ultra high comps play ball with it in future - though the requirements are definitely restrictive and will limit many aspects of high end watchmaking. The Ultra had to have many components removed to comply. Thanks for watching. - Andrew

[@MichaelChapman-i8v]

Great walk-through by Andrew and Time & Tide. I always enjoy JLC's and Breitling's presentations. In fact, it is my opinion that Catherine Renier of JLC and George Kern of Breitling are probably the two best CEO's in the industry.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

That's a big call, and from my perspective, the CEO set are opening up to doing this style, but having said that, Catherine and Georges both have a quiet, but forceful energy that comes through on video, thanks so much for watching and joining us - Andrew

[@mate.herner]

What a great presentation and video again, thank you! This really helped me better understand the heliotourbillon, and so appreciate it more.

[@robynsjp]

Very nice and proud to own a Reverso Shadow.

[@randys766]

What a great watch and great interview.

[@darylwardsnyder4406]

So very gracious and brilliant! So sorry I didn’t get to meet her myself when I walked through the Jaeger-LeCoultre booth at Watches & Wonders!

[@eddiehernandez651]

Strong!😎

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Like Andrew said, a flex year indeed.

[@20thcenturyboy85]

Super video. Thank You JLC!!!

[@naveenkataria661]

Correct me if I am wrong...but hasn't Jacob & Co. been doing triple-axis tourbillons since a long time ! So what is the fuss??

[@Timeandtidewatches]

We didn't say it was the first, there are other triple axis - this is paired with the Duometre which makes it an adaptation - and irrespective of all, it's impressive as hell.

[@allenmurrell]

that was a fantastic, fascinating interview with an incredible "face" of such a historique maison

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Thank you, we like this face.
