Jaeger LeCoultre Watchmaking Wk SIN Part Trois & Quatre

Part Trois: Fellowships of the watch

always good to meet good mates on the journey i say... this is a cool bunch
with lots of interesting watch and camera tales(for watch porn purposes)... it was an enjoyable meal and time...
me, harry, lionel, george, kc and eddie... bad boyz bad boyz
whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for u
we're all very good actually... only vice is watchloving...

somebodys latest baby... gorgeous as always... a classic beauty
in my favorite metal for it... rosebud... i mean rose gold :)

some team alinghi action was spotted

and fast forward to another time... and a micro gtg...

over some fave Singapore breakfast items... toast box kopitiam style

another horology fanatic jeff who's cursing at me behind the grin to
hurry up and take the shot as his breakfast is getting cold...

the raphmeister in repose... laid back... chilled out

jeff's lovely new acquisition... great catch mate

Part Quatre: Gyrotourbillon II talk

the question on everyones mind is not only 'can we get a gyro 2 as a doorgift' but could we get to stroke and fondle the gyro 2... sadly it was not to be on both counts ;)

but the talk was really highly informative. I got to hear more about the reverso which is a favorite line of many for JLC, me included, and to learn more about what it took to develop the Gyro 2... (this watch is amazing and deserves a post by itself that will come later)

eddie, dirk, jeff, myself and jaw catching up before the talk


Jaw and Stephane, our speakers for the day and Xavier introducing them

rapt attention from the attendees in the morning... hmm Stefano looks a little
tired though ;) but he showed he was paying attention during q&a

the path of the spherical tourbillon in the gyro 2... its an amazing ballet

aluminium for the parts of the gyro 2 cage...
making it super lightweight at 0.34 gms for the tourbillon cage...

extreme ways are back again... extreme worlds on george and my wrist
the alarm and the chrono...

print out the next couple of images and do a flipbook
as a i didn't take any video :)

thats it from me on the JLC watchmaking week for now... will come out with a final roundup/post sometime later :) hope u enjoyed it all. cheers, raph
