A day of JLC in Tokyo - Part Deux: while Nico is away :-) (modem burner)
Jun 02, 2011,07:17 AM
While this place is quiet, let's see the Part 2 of my day of JLC.
As mentioned in Part 1, there was the dinner hosted by Jaeger-LeCoultre for the clients where Novelties were displayed and VERY playful dinner was served.
1. The display
Vintage Reverso
The famous attache case
Gyro Tourbillon II in new color
The Eclipse Series
Back to the current line-up
Can I take this home ?
The Manufacture housing 1260 people.
Big stage for dinner
Many guests attended
2. "VERY Reverso" dinner. Notice anything?
Mr. Momoi of The Hour Glass Japan.
With Mr. Lambert
This one belonged to a gentleman who sat next to me. Beautiful.
Okay, where were we? Oh, notice anything strange?
EVERYTHING is REVERSE - knife/ fork upside down, wrong direction, printing of the menu....
...and started from DESSERT!
"Quasi" Reverso sits on the edge of the dish.
Fish - the dish is upside down.
Meat - again, the dish is upside down.
.. and now, appetizer....
Mr. Joel Cordier is introduced as THE master watchmaker of JLC and the one who would demonstrate Rideau.
Again, Gyro Tourbillon 2 in new PG case
Backside.
Reverso a Rideau with the curtain open
The curtain closed
Reverse side.
And now listen to the sound (sorry for the background noise) - WORLD PREMIER!
Sweet, isn't it?
3. Wrist shots of some of the guests.
As usual....
This is truly beautiful...
This gentleman was supposed to wear his Gyro Tourbillon 2, but he forgot... Ooookaaay....
Gyro Tourbillon 2 #1
Gyro Tourbillon 2 #2
One of the guests' Master MR. Wonderful sound.
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed the dinner. Kudos to the JLC team to host such a nice event. Special thanks to Mr. Lambert, Mr. Laurian, and Jaeger-LeCoultre Japan staff and Mr. Momoi and The Hour Glass staff.

You got to see too many amazing watches AND interview M. Lambert! Wow, this coverage of the dinner is great. Thanks for posting all of this. It looks like it was a wonderful time. I really like the Reverso 1931 2011 sign -- it really captures the history ...
and some amazing pieces in attendance..both from JLC and the attendees. Now, I just hope JLC do something like that here in the States! Looks like you didn't have go to IGOTT afterall! Great reporting and thanks for keeping this place warm!
We just finished IGOTT-2 in Las Vegas. No JLC present but someone called "Vlad" is also in Las Vegas. We are going now for lunch and later to buy me a PuristS 10th anniversary watch.....Bulgari They were at IGOTT-2. Regards, MTF
.. but for now, Mitsukoshi Nihombashi is their quasi-boutique and they have expanded the space, nicely done. We should frequent there, too. A bit of walk or subway ride from Ginza area, though. Ken
Hello,KIH Another photo of the day : ) in Reverso Movement, invert printing for menu :P Started from Dessert, and Main, Smile Hum......? Oh, Master Grand Repeater. But........... Sorry, shake photo; i like LAB2,,, in Tribute to Geophsic. it' nice dinner, ...
Hi Ken, This is a Ti Van case ... A kind of titanium and vanadium alliage, which, acoustically, is very close ( in fact, I didn't hear any difference ) to the MMR ti. Best, Nicolas.
... I guess we are just lucky and appreciate very much for the effort of JLC Japan. Only complaint I have is the they did not bring Diane Kruger.... Ken
... very thoughtful idea to make the dinner so interesting which matched the theme of Reverso celebration very well. well done, MJLC Japan Team. thanks, Ken too stefan
