PuristSPro.com JLC Beverly Hills Boutique SIHH 2011 Event PART1
March 10, 2011
Jaeger Le-Coultre Beverly Hills Boutique
Beverly Hills, California
Tonight we had a wonderful event at
our friendly neighborhood Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique Beverly
Hills. Upon our arrival, we spot the reason why many of us
brave the crazy L.A. traffic on a weekday night.....to see the new
pieces from the 2011 SIHH collection! Last month, the boutique
hosted a special dinner and brought in a prototype which put smiles on
many of us there. As it was just a proto, things can change
when the actual production pieces are finalized. Sometimes the
pictures don't do the watch justice and they look much better in
person. Will the pieces meet and exceed our
expectations? Let's find
out..........
Earlier, fellow PuristS RJW had the opportunity to view some of the watches: ( click here ) as did Kelvin Tan aka KT in Malaysia: ( click here ) , Stefan Ma: ( click here ) ,Goh ( click here ), mell0822 ( click here ), and BluNotte ( click here ) in Singapore. Not letting everyone else have all the fun, with the hard work of Jim and Seth of the JLC BHB, now it was our turn here in the United States to get up close and personal with the new offerings! Here's the sign proudly displaying the talked about watch, the JLC Tribute to 1931 Reverso.
It was good to see so many familiar PuristS and meet new ones. You could tell that there was a lot of excitement inside.....
In the corner was a display case, what could be inside?
Our man Seth of the JLC BHB gives us a warm welcome and gives a tour to some of the new guests for the unveiling. Hello ladies!
Of course there's a huge interest in the current collection as well as the incoming pieces. Here's Seth happily explaining the unique features to the guests and answering all the technical questions.
Before I get to take a sneak peek inside the display case, let's take a glance at some of the wrists of tonight. Here's a vintage piece worn that someone brought in. You always get to see some cool pieces at the BH boutique!
This one is going into the spa shortly and will be as good as new. JLC BHB's service is top notch and ready to take care of it's clientele.
A gentleman proudly wears his JLC......what a stunner!
A pair of Reverso's spotted, what a lovely couple!

Hey, Ming, do you mind opening the Pandora's box??? :)
Cool summary of JLC 2011 novelties, Ming. You forgot to include the TT DSA, too, but it was an exclusive ( PPRO excluvity ) preview. And there are some other to be posted, too. The Vintage to be sent for a SPA is a very interesting " Galaxy ". So, now, sh...

Hey, Ming, ask them a box like this for me...
I love the design of these boxes, by the way! How many watches can they store? Best, Nicolas.
OK, now I have an answer to my question, from what I saw in your pics.
2 or 3, please! Best, Nicolas.

Aaah, the old black Master Geographique!
An old love, and a strong one. So JLC did " the full Monthy, " eeeh? The TT DSA, the TT 1931, the Master Geo, the Master Chrono black dial, the Master Chrono Black Ceramic 44 mm, the MUT Moon 39, and so on... I agree with you, Ming, we're not far from the...
re: aaah
Yep, they did a fine job bringing the collection in for the L.A. area! It's the main reason why it's the best place to be for everything JLC. -MW
Great
wristshots MW ! For me, the European edition is the more appealing one for the higher simplicity of the dial . Cheers, Filip
What a box! :)
Thank you for sharing this with us, MW! Question – the bracelet on the lady Reverso… Is that a new version of bracelet? Don’t really recognize it… Best Blomman
re: What a box!
Hello blomman! Sharp eyes you got there, well spotted! It's the new Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Lady model with the bracelet option. Let me see if I have a good pic of it for you. -MW
Great reporting as always Ming!
Great photos and love pieces on the ladies! As always, Jim and Seth's hospitality is tops! Love the pieces in the metal and its great to see some of the production pieces. I too was there to see the DSA and I was impressed. And I agree, you can't go wrong...
agree with you...
The JLC BHB are tops! Great seeing you there, too bad you could join us for dinner. Have a great weekend my friend! -MW
re:sharing
Hello Mystiqz! Appreciate you looking! Was wearing one of my favorite pieces with a JLC caliber 2124/2125 in it! Whatcha wearing for the weekend? -MW
That is what I thought...
Have a look at the inside of the box ... " For the 125th year "... It would be interesting to have the movement number, though, but I think it was part of the " Jubilé " collection. Thanks a lot for these pics! Best, Nicolas.
I have the watch how can I
find the movement Number also the box is a display box and it also stands up to show off the watch!!!
You have to open the case back...
So, if you have some fears, a watchmaker can do it for you, at the BH JLC Boutique, for example. Best, Nicolas
will do
having dinner with those guys next week.. so I will get them to do it for me..and my buddy here has some watch maker friends around...thanks for the info.. I just haven't seen that watch when people show the retros; it is never one like that.. I had no id...
I'm preparing something about the " Galaxy ", by the way...
As I had the opportunity to play with one, for several days. It is a very interesting model! Thanks in advance for the informations you so kindly offer to provide me. Best, Nicolas.
Thanks, Ming!
Wonderful evening it must have been, Ming. Thanks for sharing. Did you have any favorite among all the novelties? Was the Tribute to DSA all that you expected? Take care, Alex
Expectations....
Hello Alex! Thanks for looking! The Tribute DSA exceeded my expectations! I hope all JLC fans get to see these pieces soon as they did a great job with the 2011 collection. -MW
Great report and pics MW.
So many wonderful novelties out there. I hope that you found one for yourself - the TT DSA? Thanks for sharing, Goh
Thank you Goh!
I really like the TT DSA European edition, which one do you prefer? -MW
Arrh, I prefer the US version.
...but I am going for the NSA Incursion instead, I really love the nice touches of yellow on it. Just feel that I will wear it more often than the TT DSA as I very much prefer watches on bracelet. Let's just say that the Tributes are too elegant for me. B...
JLC BH SIHH 2011 Event
Great report as always DRMW. Sorry I couldn't join you all for the viewing. Regards, ED-209
If you miseed it...
Sorry you couldn't attend, stop by the JLC BHB and see what they have, you won't be disappointed! -MW
Thanks for the great report
It was great seeing you again. I have to admit that the event made me unhappy. Seeing the Reverso 1931 again and knowing that it will be a few more months before I can have one of my own is a slow torture. It seems my current watch buying experiences are ...
All things....
All things that are great are worth waiting for, especially the 2011 pieces! See you soon! -MW
