JAEGER-LECOULTRE
Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre have been in partnership since 2004. Both companies are fuelled by the same passion – a love of mechanical beauty, be it automobile or horology.
Jaeger LeCoultre is the only manufacturer to unite over forty professions and skills in one facility, from watchmakers and artisans who perpetuate and enrich the heritage passed on by former generations, to micro-technical engineers and cutting-edge technology specialists.
Within just a few years, the AMVOX partnership line has asserted itself as the ultimate expression of the combined worlds of Aston Martin and Jaeger LeCoultre.
TOUR OF THE MANUFACTURE
During the tour, you will be able to meet the people who are not only passionate about the company, but who deliver some of the 40 professions and 20 state-of-the-art technologies which have led to nearly 400 patents being registered and created over 1,000 exceptional calibres.
You will also witness the ancient and delicate decorative arts of engraving, enamelling and gem-setting.
This visit opens the door to a unique Manufacture that highlights the horological accomplishments of one of the most famous watch manufacturers in the world.
There will also be a viewing of exclusive Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces
HERITAGE GALLERY
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Heritage Gallery, which opened in 2007, houses the finest collection of historical and modern watches, clocks and movements ever assembled since the birth of the “Grande Maison” in the Vallée de Joux in 1833.
