I loved this video. My wife just got me the 2022 Master Geographic to commemorate 33 years of cancer remission, 3 years in memory of my Mom, and a significant milestone at work. This is my grail watch as I love GMT complications and I love the art, dedication, and craftsmanship that goes into making it. The video showing how they make it blows my mind.

Okay ... it’s a commercial.
But I have to admit loving the Reverso.
That is one beautiful and classic piece.

very nice 3 watch collection. Please have more series of Work, Rest and Play with other watch brands, shoes, etc.

[bismarcko]

.. and I learnt how to pronounce Jaeger LeCoultre

"...fulfill their role with restraint and subtly. But look closely and there's always verve, style, and craftsmanship on display. That’s JLC in a nutshell: making watches that might not shout from the rooftops, but instead exude calm confidence in their own abilities.
What better statement could you want your watch to make?"


Wow, stellar copywriting. Whoever wrote the script deserves a raise!

Start of the video: assuming you are not on an infinite budget
Me: Ok I might be able to afford them
Site: Prices range 8k-20k

Immaculate watches, you can tell these are expensive pieces without the use of precious stones or metal. The epitome of elegance.

It's good to see JLC getting recognition. They deserve it. Super underrated

I have first watched this video about when it first came out I remember absolutely repelling the rectangle shaped reverso yet the concept was always something I really liked, 4 years later today that is a champion watch - it really goes to show how far i have grown with appreciating the beauty and craftsmanship of the uniqueness of the reverso.

[bronco]

This 3 watch collection is perfection.

[vatasalgupta]

Best video I've seen on JLC watches in a long long time...great work!

[jeanlefranc]

This truly elegant trio, plus a swatch as beater watch, is everything a gentleman needs.

[correctedjay]

More of this please!!! A perfect video. Let’s see some other brands as well. This was great.

[Milofchg]

It’s the perfect same brand 3 piece gentleman’s collection. Very functional and carefully selected.

[naleendemalaporuwa]

Regardless of the subject, I like all Mr.Porter videos. Narration, Camera angels, Editing, Background music are just perfect and I am so attracted to their refined way of presentation.

[ehsandarian]

[ChunYuWo]

I love JLC. I have twelve of them in my collection - and wear them with equanimity. My favorites are the vintage LeCoultre pieces from the ‘embargo’ years, along with the DuoTime and the Reverso Duo from 1949.

[mikec]

My god, I love JLC. I have decided my next luxury watch will be the JLC Reverso. This is the one brand that has the "it" factor.
