Jaeger-LeCoultre, pioneer inventor and innovator of fine and complicated watches commemorates its 175th anniversary with much grandeur as it offers fine watchmaking aficionados an entire week of exhibition and fascinating highlights devoted to the roots of the Manufacture. Fresh from its inaugural exhibition in Singapore, the “Watchmaking Week” in Kuala Lumpur opened this evening in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. 

The Watchmaking Week was officially opened by Mr Xavier Dufoix, Managing Director of Jaeger-LeCoultre South East Asia. Customers, exclusive partners and the media were captured by the exquisite highly complicated pieces, the pride of Jaeger-LeCoultre, flown in especially for this occasion. Scheduled to last a full week, this exhibition enables watch devotees to participate in some fascinating interactive highlights: watchmaking classes and meeting with the various watchmakers involved. Right after Kuala Lumpur, the exhibition will travel to France, Germany and China.

“The Watchmaking Week is the first of this scale for Jaeger-LeCoultre and it will be a stunning showcase that will capture the imaginations of fine watch aficionados. We are truly excited to see Malaysian aficionados be more informed about the revolutionary complications and experience Jaeger-LeCoultre for themselves,” says Mr Xavier Dufoix, Managing Director of Jaeger-LeCoultre South East Asia.

“Each evening will have a delightfully different twist to it as Jaeger-LeCoultre will partner with renowned luxury watch retailers such as Sincere Fine watches, The Hour Glass, Cortina, Swiss Watch Gallery and exclusive partners such as Standard Chartered Bank, EON Bank, Pavilion, Bang & Olufsen, EO Malaysia and Supercar Clubs. Events such as the Gem-setting Class, Master Class and Atmos Demonstration will be organized to ensure that its watchmaking culture is shared with a greater section of the Malaysian community,” he added.
