Jaeger-Le Coultre : 175th anniversary @ Pavilion KL

Valiram Group invited us for the Jaeger-Le Coultre 175th Anniversary exhibition ... some impressive timepieces on display! SLURP!
Most were fans of the classic Reverso, but I especially liked the diving watches :-) aka Master Compressor Diving.


Check out those diamonds ... gem-setting exhibit.


We then headed to Carat Club for a cuppa ... tea!


ps - What's JLC?
Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC) is a luxury watch and clock manufacturer based in Le Sentier (in Le Chenit), Vaud, Switzerland.
The Founding of the Seminal Organization
In 1833 Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881) founded a small workshop, which was to become the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The micrometer
In 1844, LeCoultre measured the micron (μ) for the first time; he created the world's most precise measuring instrument, the millionometer (a device capable of measuring to the nearest thousandths of a millimeter).
