Haute Horlogerie: The World of Jaeger-LeCoultre
Alberni Street, Vancouver's new Mecca for boutique shopping, has drawn even Jaeger-LeCoultre to open a boutique and showcase its mastery of haute horlogerie. Recent offerings at the boutique include the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds, in blue and a boutique only version in a sumptuous burgundy. This model contains a calibre 822/2 manual winding movement with 108 parts, 45 hours of power reserve and a Fagliano Collection strap, inspired by the famous Argentine polo boot maker.
For those with a taste for something more complicated, Jaeger-LeCoultre offers a stunning range of complicated watches, including the Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpétuel, Jaeger-LeCoultre's extraordinary new grande sonnerie with full Westminster chime, a perpetual calendar and theatrical gyrotourbillon.
For those interested, the technical details for both watches are provided below, and the Jaeger-LeCoutre boutique is located at 1012 Alberni Street, in Vancouver. Our experiences there have always been delightful and we encourage those in the area to visit the boutique if you are seeking the very best in watchmaking.
