Jaeger-LeCoultre's BRAND NEW collection | Hands on at Watches & Wonders 2026

At Watches & Wonders 2026, Jaeger-LeCoultre unveiled some of the most extraordinary watchmaking I've seen under their "Valley of Inventions" theme and one piece in particular stopped me in my tracks. In this video I take you through the entire JLC booth, from their stunning 4-metre ice sculpture centrepiece to the finishing techniques that make this brand genuinely special. We're talking enamel dials requiring up to 80 hours of work per watch, hand bevelling, and craft techniques that only exist because of where JLC is rooted deep in the Val de Joux. Here's what we cover: ⌚ Reverso — Japanese-inspired hand-painted enamel & a new white gold bracelet ⌚ Master Grand Tourbillon — including the new triple-axis tourbillon across 98 positions ⌚ Master Control Chronometer — 38mm, under 9mm thick, and genuinely wearable ⌚ Master Control Power Reserve — vintage Powermatic inspiration done right ⌚ Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater Tourbillon — 5mm movement, 9mm total depth. The star of the show. JLC has always sat at the high table of watchmaking. After this year's releases, that position is more secure than ever and they haven't forgotten the collector who wants something beautiful and wearable. 👍 If you found this useful, a like really does help the channel. 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss the rest of my Watches & Wonders 2026 coverage. 📩 Buying, selling or sourcing a watch?
