Inside The Manufacture: With Jaeger-LeCoultre In Switzerland, Pt. 3: Handcrafts And History
We've been taking a pretty up-close look at certain aspects of Jaeger-LeCoultre's manufactory in parts one and two of our coverage, in which we looked at the creation of the Atmos clock, as well as two historically important tourbillons �C the first wristwatch and pocket watch tourbillons JLC ever made. Before going any further, let's take a quick step back and take a slightly bigger picture look at both the factory and at JLC's history. 1 OF 25 2 OF 25 Jaeger-LeCoultre is located in the village of Le Sentier, in the Vall��e de Joux, just northwest of Geneva. The Vall��e sits in a crevice in the Jura Mountains, which run more or less along the Swiss-French border and form a natural boundary between the two countries.

Audemars to move down to 36mm-40mm???
With all these pushes to 40mm+ cases. When will it get old!?Anyone think AP will reduce case sizes or keep what they have started?I wonder if they are soaking up the big case demand? Or will they adjust when tastes change?

Is it safe to wash my AP?
So I want to give my newly acquired APRO a wash under the tap with a small brush and liquid soap. I do this routine regularly with my Rolex's without any worries and they come out looking new and I want to include the AP in the bathing routine But I haven't seen any is it safe to wash/pool/beach/ threads for AP (with good reason, since they're expensive) so thought I'd ask since it's better to be safe than sorry. I know it has screw down crown so I'm guessing it's fine but I just want some reassurance from you guys.No plans to go to the beach with it though! The Hulk is on beach duty.ThanksM.

Interesting straps for ROO..
