Finally, The Promise Land. Part 1.
Sorry guys! I've been very busy and with some personal problems that kept my mind also busy.
Thanks for your patience, hope you like the pics.
Here we go!

On the way to the manufacture:
Thank you, Sir.
Yes!, here I am:
The atmosphere at the manufacture was great, from start to finish:
JLC stuff for everybody:
Beautiful dashboard:
Even empty, was awesome:
The lock to the maximum expression of Haute Horlogerie:
Now, the watches. We had the opportunity to "play" with some of the novelties and a very SPECIAL toy.

Part 2.
Lunch break. Those cool "watches" were hanging on the wall. After lunch we went to visit two of the most beautiful and less known places of the factory. The enamel and engraving workshops, pure art. Nice wood clock at the engraving workshop. More noveltie...
Fantastic photo report!
What a treat it is to visit the Manufacture and wow, the Extreme Lab 2! Seriously jealous! I would be grinning from ear to ear as well! THANK YOU for sharing...
You need 'no say no more' .. Mesmerizing though :)
Maybe one little Q: - from some, ( such as DSA) : were these all finished products or some protos , as well ?.. Nevertheless and above all, great pic- report ! ( great Macros as well, BTW) -- Thank you for sharing, hs
Part 3. Factory tour.
That night we went for dinner to another manufacture, but this time it was a cheese manufacture. You can check it at the Timeout forum, if interested. Next morning, same room, but foggy views. Are you ready?, YES! We were very lucky and they showed us alm...
thx for the reminder
of how dexterous watchmakers are when working with such minute parts.... J
Outstanding VMM
Did you have a favourite from the 2011 releases having been fortunate enough to view them in person and try them on? I thought my favourite was the Master Geographic, but I haven't seen these pieces in the metal yet and quite often my opinion changes when...
Some favorites.
The new Geo looks fantastic on the wrist. The tribute to Deepsea will be a collectors item for sure, and it looks stunning in person. The Master Moon is one of the most beautiful, elegant and balanced "affordable" watches in the market, IMHO. And the Reve...
Some heavy pieces, Vicente...
Now I understand why your firend had such a smile on his face. Thanks and all the best, my friend. Nicolas.
Part 4, last one. Atmos territory and more.
This was one of my fav parts of the tour. There is something special about the Atmos (at least for me),so it was fascinating to see how it works and it's made from the beginning. Magic wires. Electricity runs through them, I think, to make them stronger. ...
Absolutely superb coverage!
Brilliant report, Vte! You are the Man! Thanks so much for taking the time to post.
WOW..stunning coverage..
You added Parts 3 and 4! The Atmos manufacture is pretty neat and something that you don't see very often. And the gyro-tourby, what a piece! Thank you for the indepth photo report! And looks like a great time was had!
What a tour!
And some awesome pieces, especially for me , the Gyro 1 - my grail tourbillon. The DSA & MUT moonphase looks good too.... and much more attainable. Thanks Vte.
Most comprehensive manufacture report so far!
Hi VMM, thanks for this great visit post of yours! It´s amazing to see what effort JLC made to explain their watches: how they are designed, crafted, working and looking/feeling. You must be very lucky customers or very important ones ! Kind regards,...
Excellent adventure
what a brilliant way to spend some time. I particularly like the enamel dial pictures - shows just how special those watches are.
Now we’re talking!
Thank you, Vte for sharing your trip to the Promised Land! Stunning photos! So, how did you feel? Did your heart start to race, did your hands get moist, maybe shake a little bit? It’s an amazing journey – I hope to make it soon again! Best Blomman
:) :)
Many feeling involved in the experience. It was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. Thanks for your patience. Best. Vte
Wow, Vicente, I am just stunned!
My head is dizzy from your report. That looks like the best trip ever! Thanks for posting so many photos. Best, respo
My friend all I can say is you have been to heaven and back.
I especially like that "candy" shot and the other one with cabinets filled with Atmos clocks and a gentleman facing them. I can only imagine the thoughts in my head if I were him at that time, standing there. Thanks a lot for this exclusive peek into the ...
:)
You are welcome Ruckdee. Glad you like them. The Atmos place was a part of the experience I really enjoyed. Best from Spain. Vte
Part 5. Thanks.
I would like to thank the JLC team for their kindness throughout the visit. Special thanks to Maud, her father in law Joel, Frank, Pierre, Eduardo and Max. It was a pleasure to spend a couple of days with you all in a wonderful place surrounded by fantast...
excellent post vmm and very nice pics too
Those very nice photos just confim that JLC is a haute horlogerie player is very tote to toe to Patek, Dubuis, Lange & Söhne, Parmigiani and some otehrs very high range brands. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for the great report!
I really do need to get over to Switzerland to experience it myself. Based on your post it looks like JLC really enjoys having watch lovers visit and goes out of their way to make one feel welcomed. Thanks in particular for you Atmos coverage although I'm...
