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

Considering that Antoine LeCoultre - founder of the company - invented the first machine capable of measuring a micron, it’s safe to say that Jaeger-LeCoultre have a deep connection with precision. Precise measurements may be important for all watchmaking, but there’s a vast chasm of difference between even mid-range luxury and the levels of JLC’s upper echelons. Watches and Wonders 2024 has seen the launch of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s annual theme, and that’s a thorough exploration of what precision means to the brand, and there's no better person to explain this than CEO Catherine Rénier, who took our own Andrew McUtchen on the journey.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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 3 ай бұрын

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.

@alectang1614 3 ай бұрын

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.

@indy0t0 3 ай бұрын

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

@Timeandtidewatches 3 ай бұрын

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

@thegosudriver 3 ай бұрын

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 3 ай бұрын

Hopefully the brand are reading and reach out.

@thegosudriver 3 ай бұрын

@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.

@allenmurrell 3 ай бұрын

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 3 ай бұрын

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 3 ай бұрын

What would you like to see?

@alectang1614 3 ай бұрын

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 3 ай бұрын

@@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.

@dickl6457 3 ай бұрын

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.
