Jaeger-LeCoultre constantly aims to outdo its achievements
It may be one of Switzerland's most respected watchmakers, but Jaeger-LeCoultre is not about to rest on its laurels. The brand has made a name for itself for pushing back the boundaries of watchmaking possibilities.
'This year we have a very full and rich collection crossing the whole scope of watchmaking,' said Daniel Rogger, the brand's managing director in Hong Kong. 'A lot of innovation has gone into this collection.'
In the field of haute horlogerie, the success of last year's Gyrotourbillon left the brand with a hard act to follow. Mr Rogger said the brand aimed to outdo itself this year by producing an exceptional minute repeater, the Master Minute Repeater Antoine LeCoultre. (See page 2)
'We didn't want to make just a minute repeater,' he said. 'We decided to go one step further.'
The minute repeater is a challenging complication for even the most skilled watchmakers, but Jaeger-LeCoultre chose to make its watch out of platinum - rather than the standard gold - and to make the case watertight.
