Singapore hosted the first of Swiss watchmaker
Jaeger-LeCoultre’s worldwide Watchmaking Weeks recently. From Singapore, the
Watchmaking Week moves on to Kuala Lumpur, then France, then Germany and
finally, China.
This event features a look at the heritage of manufacture
Jaeger-LeCoultre, also known as the Grande Maison, from its founding in 1833 to
its present-day accomplishments. On show at selected venues are the brand’s
museum pieces and its entire SIHH 2008 assortment.
As part of the Watchmaking Week, the manufacture offers
the public a chance to meet watchmakers from Jaeger-LeCoultre and learn
something about making watches through the Master Class. Significantly, the manufacture
offered hands-on classes in both assembling the mechanical movements and
decorating them.
