Bloody hell. JLC can make any part for any of their watches ever made, thanks to having the foresight to archive all their design plans. Truly marvellous.
Have you picked one up yet? I'm catching the JLC bug too. My next luxury watch will undoubtedly be a Reverso (still deciding on which) and then I fear I will want more after that...
@@mikec3454 if I might recommend, and should your budget allow it, the Reverso Duoface Classic is amazing. I bought one 2 months ago and quickly become a favorite in my collection. It dresses down to something very casual with the Casa Fagliano cordovan strap. Being able to go between a silver and Black dial, each with guilloche finishing on them, means this watch goes with most anything in your wardrobe. It gets the most questions and compliments so far wherever I go. People are always fascinated when I show them the flipping feature. Go try one on, I have a Large, but that was mostly my preference. I think medium has that more Don Draper feel, though.
JLC is one of those brands that has the "it" factor. Any true watch collector or hobbyist knows this, or they should for that matter. They ooze class and haute horology, yet they are extremely discreet and 98% of people wouldn't even notice it on your wrist.
@@BarkandJack thanks, you can check out the unboxing on my channel if you want, I was very much obsessed with the watch for years, but your video on it NOT being strictly a dress watch pushed me over the edge as I was feeling the same but just thought I must me weird :) I was so glad to see I'm not the only one 😁
I've got a big soft spot for Jaeger Le-Coultre. I bought myself a blue dial Reverso Tribute small seconds this year. It's one of the (few) watches in my collection that is 100.00% a longtime keeper - I've even had the case-back engraved and personalised. There's nothing quite like them, IMO. It's kind of half way between Rolex and Patek - an elite product, but not crazily expensive.
Wow! Just wow! The way they save the old machines and can fabricate any part for any vintage watch is simply amazing! All heritage watch brands should be like this! Great video as always. Keep up the good work, Adrian!
As much as it can obviously be a dress watch, it also dresses down really well with a suede strap- unless you have an extremely manual/heavy job and lifestyle don’t be put off as it can handle it 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm so glad that you love JLC. Like you, I mostly own Rolex, but the whole "investment/waiting list" discussion that surrounds Rolex makes it an often boring conversation. With JLC you don't get that, people just love them for craft and rich history. More please...such an interesting company, making amazing watches. Lovely video and love your channel. Wish you well in 2020!!
Thanks Adrian, another great video. I am so sick of waiting for a Rolex just yesterday was thinking about a Reverso. Your video has not helped. LOL. Keep up the great videos and all the best for xmas. Cheers David
I did the same- gave up on the wait for a submariner and got a Reverso duoface plus a Seiko spb143 (with nice discounts, but both new with warranty) for the price of a new sub rrp. Can honestly say if I get the call for a sub now, it won’t change my mind.
I dont usually comment but hot damn this is a nice video...Keep up the good work. Thanks for showing a much more detailed content rather than you sitting down and talking to the ceo or someone boring. Double thumbs up
Thank You so much Adrian for this wonderful insight into the Watchmakers watchmaker. Watch this and you now know just how amazing these small masterpieces of engineering we get the pleasure to wear on our wrist. Thanks again, Brian.
Wonderful video Adrian. I'm lucky enough to have three JLCs, two vintage, and one new and I love them, especially for the history behind the company. Thanks for this great little film.
Jaeger LeCoultre deserves so much more appreciation than it actually gets. If you are confident and watch-educated enough to look beyond the ubiquitious Rolex hype you get some excellent watchmaking for pretty good money with JLC.
What a great video on JLC! Thanks for the insight into JLC. I had no idea the high level of craftsmanship that goes into making the Reverso until now. Also the ability to make any part going back to the first watches is phenomenal. I have the Duoface on my buy list, and now may have to bump it up.
I wanted to thank you for your content during the past year, I especially liked the factory visits. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I'm looking forward to your videos next year.
@@BarkandJack Which one?? I subbed your channel for the design critiques and back when I was thinking of the Black Bay 58. Ended up getting a Reverso Duoface Medium in May. Pleasantly surprised later to see you did a review too. Reminds me of why I subbed in the first place!
Excellent! I have just gotten into the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, and found your review totally fascinating Along with you unique style and brand of humor, much appreciated. The more I learn about this brand, the more I respect it! Cheers, Carl
Excellent stuff Adrian and your right some factory tour videos I have seen are sleep inducing. So short and sweet is a good idea. Have to agree on the two processes you featured, just incredible workmanship. I think every collecter hankers after a high end piece and JLC are right up there on my grail list anyway. Best not ask how you keep getting these invitations... but long may it continue mate. 👍😁
Merry Christmas Adrian. Been an avid viewer of your channel and I can tel you for sure in 2019 the best show is factory visit in Jager La Coultre. This is basically a movie showing inside the manufacturing process, machines, the manual works showing that they are basically watch maker. And the music is mind blowing. I am changing my first grail from Rolex Submariner to JLC Reverso. Keep your good work and hopefully in the year 2020 as the best year of RUclipsr. You have shown you can make your living from your hobbies.
Appreciate the share Adrian! To have all that historical is on par with another brand with a similar archive...goes to show the dedication to the brand this company had and still has..Thanks again for the great content!
This is a great video! We were able to tour the manufacturer a couple years ago and got to meet Mr. Stéphane Belmont. He's a fantastic host and knows every inch of the place. Touring it was a life highlight for us. My wife and I own 13 JLC watches and an Atmos clock. It our favorite, and only brand we buy. It's the best valued, high end brand on the market. We're you able to meet Muriel Job? She's the only person in the company prepares the tension springs for the tourbillion watches. Thanks for posting this. Brought back great memories.

Patek also
JLC is quickly becoming the brand I’m most interested in. The reverso is so damn cool!
Have you picked one up yet? I'm catching the JLC bug too. My next luxury watch will undoubtedly be a Reverso (still deciding on which) and then I fear I will want more after that...

“Horrible”..... Now I “need” a Reverso even more! What a place, what a brand - Im deeply impressed. Thank you for sharing this visit 👍
I felt the same when I was there. Everyone working there had reversos on.
Bark and Jack They should hook you up w a piece at least
Buy one immediately if you can, you will not be disappointed.
Just got a Reverso as my grail and final purchase of 2019 and I'm LOVING IT!!
Congrats mate. They really are great watches.
@@BarkandJack thanks, you can check out the unboxing on my channel if you want, I was very much obsessed with the watch for years, but your video on it NOT being strictly a dress watch pushed me over the edge as I was feeling the same but just thought I must me weird :)
I was so glad to see I'm not the only one 😁
Awesome watch. Wear it in good health.
Ditto, pre-SIHH JLC Reverso Tribute (my grail watch)
This 200 years + heritage of watch making in Switzerland in breath taking... I mean, can anybody compet with this ???
Clearly a top tier B&J video we have here. And all fans will have noticed that the second L in Lecoultre is NOT silent.
Thanks for watching Hervé. I practiced really hard to pronounce it correctly, but it’s really tricky.
Agree.....
Bark and Jack probably as difficult as properly saying Charles Frodsham for us French speakers 😉
My grandfather just gave me a rair gold date calendar made only from 1950 to 1955. It still runs perfect. It was befor they added the jaguer
Amazing. Even as a Mechanical Engineer, I'm amazed with their machines, technology and heritage.
Thank you so much for sharing.
JLC make fantastic watches and are very much underrated can’t wait for the next video 👍
I think this is the greatest watchmaker of them all. Much prefer to Patek& AP. I believe they have made movements to both of these brands
I think this is one of the best Reverso’s they ever made. Pure class.
I could have watched at least an hour of it! great! Patek quality for Rolex money
What an amazing company! My respect and admiration for them just went through the roof.

Incredible. Stunning footage. Bravo!
Thanks a lot for watching mate. 👍🏻
Adrian.. Like I wasnt hooked on Reverso and Atmos by now.. !! JLC what an awesome watchmaker..
100% gonna buy a reverso one day, such a cool watch.
Great video! Makes me appreciate my Reverso even more...👍
I really want a reverso now. JLC are such great watch makers.
Wow Adrian, that’s an awesome experience! Congrats.. hmmm.. I wonder why Archie doesn’t get invites like this?? 😂
He might not (fuck this, fuck that, fuck me dead) fit in...or he'd eat all the honey.
Best video on any watch channel in a long time. Excellent.
Adrian, when are we getting part 2 of this trip? Did I miss the release?
Wow! Just wow! The way they save the old machines and can fabricate any part for any vintage watch is simply amazing! All heritage watch brands should be like this! Great video as always. Keep up the good work, Adrian!
Big thanks to you for taking us along!
Thanks so much for watching Shane. 👍🏻
Hi Adrian. What a fantastic insight into this phenomenal historic Swiss watch manufacturer. Thank you.
My girlfriend just bought a reverso and loves it. This video is such a positive reinforcement for her. Great job and can't wait for the rest.
They are called The Watchmakers Watchmaker for a reason..
What about Patek Philippe? Although I will say I am much more impressed with JLC after watching this video.
@@Andrew-cm5tc PP relied upon JLC to deliver movements. That says it all.
Probably the most authentic brand "out there". Really great video!
Thanks a lot mate. Glad you liked it. 👍🏻
If I ever buy myself a luxury dress watch, it will be a Reverso. Pure class.
As much as it can obviously be a dress watch, it also dresses down really well with a suede strap- unless you have an extremely manual/heavy job and lifestyle don’t be put off as it can handle it 👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice. Enviable tour!

Aqua Terra, Datejust and just one more Reverso Duoface to complete my core collection XD
Jaeger LeCoultre deserves so much more appreciation than it actually gets. If you are confident and watch-educated enough to look beyond the ubiquitious Rolex hype you get some excellent watchmaking for pretty good money with JLC.
Nice video. Incredible opportunity, congratulations!
Thanks for watching make and it really was a great opportunity. That’s why I roped in a mate to help with the video.
Fabulous video. JLC really do rock. The watchmakers’ watch for a reason ....
Loved this video and looking forward to the next instalment
Amazing stuff Adrian saludos...
Cheers buddy.
Great vid Adrian! It’s time for you to get a Reverso. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
H.
Brilliant video. Wish I could go too while wearing my limited edition blue Polaris date 💙
That blue Polaris is an awesome watch. And much loved there.
The painting on the enamel dials is mind blowing 🤯 great video Adrian, have a Happy Christmas dude 🤙🏻🍻
The only thing I don’t like about this video is that I can only hit the like button once.
Haha. Thanks so much for watching mate. 👍🏻
An award for the 'Biggest Brown Noser' on RUclips has been given to fourlakes.
@@clegsmegson2627 At least he gets an award Cleg. :p
@@BarkandJack True...Merry Christmas
You can always hit it twice Adrian won’t mind 😉
Fantastic video Adrian, thanks for sharing that incredible experience! Really need a Reverso :D
Just confirmed even more what a fantastic brand they are! Lucky bugger ; )

Probably best watch maker visiting video I've seen! Macro video was great!
I soooooooo love this manufacturer visit videos. Absolutely superb.
Great video about a great brand !
Certainly one of my favorite watches
Well done Adrian,
Thanks for watching John.
Yes lad, JLC!

Beautiful review of JLC - let us know how the honey tastes! The watches and stories were sweet
Closer and closer to get that JLC Adrian...
Yup. I really want a reverso.

Love the philosophy and approach of JLC. Looks like it was a fascinating visit.
Awesome, a brand I had not considered but you have opened my eyes, thanks Steven
The watchmaker of watchmakers. Inception is real
Really awesome video…. And they can make parts for any JLC watch that’s ever been made? Really?!?! That’s amazing.
Brilliant content. Thank you Adrien. Merry Christmas 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Great timing. I just tried on a Reverso earlier today
Excellent! I have just gotten into the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, and found your review totally fascinating Along with you unique style and brand of humor, much appreciated. The more I learn about this brand, the more I respect it! Cheers, Carl
What an awesome video, Adrian! I had tremendous respect for JLC before, but I have even more now. I will definitely add one to my collection one day!
Fantastic - what a trip. LOVE JLC, a reverse duo is on my wish list for sure. Look forward to more content.
Great video. Keep up the epic content.
Thanks so much mate. I really enjoyed making this one. 👍🏻
Thanks Adrian for producing such a brilliant video very interesting
I am now even more impressed by JLC. Great Video!
Fantastic video! I love JLC and would love to own one someday.
That was very interesting! There is nothing quite like a Reverso
Adrian : brilliant video, one of your best!
Well done
Such a good video Adrian, really top class. Have a good Christmas!
I love really long videos
The one in your thumbnail is at the top of my list. They sent me a catalog and I stare at it regularly.
Brilliant..just as I was about to comment the video was taken down?
Thanks for watching mate. The first version had an error. A file was missing so it just had a red screen for 4 seconds.

Fantastic video beautifully produced.
Even the machines used to manufacture the parts are works of art. There are some very clever people here
Amazing trip！ i'm so exciting about my trip to visit Jaeger factory next month！🎉🎉
You’ll love it Amanda.
Brilliant, absolutely fascinating I've read about the Lady with the Lamp, but the Lady with the Lathe is my favourite!
Wow ! It must have been a fantastic experience !! Thanks for sharing bits with us 👍
What a super video, now just waiting for more. Have an amazing Christmas and a super 2020. Thanks for all the Videos.
