Well, the meteorite is not blingy, nor the Duometre Sphero moon.

Now, this part of the collection has also its blingy side, but this is not all...
Best,

2015 SIHH Jaeger- Lecoultre: The novelties.
By: amanico : January 19th, 2015-01:29
Here is a first look on the 2015 collection. As you will see, Jaeger-Lecoulte focused, this year, on Space and Moon, Astral theme. A romantic but strong link exists between horology and space. Even there is always a difference of 3 minutes and 56 seconds ...
Thank you, Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, and thank you for faithfully conveying the news so quickly. The high complications are impressive, but even these feel like (and are) variations on well-established models and lines. I do wish JLC had focused on building innovative mid-market ...
I discussed that point with Mr Riedo.
By: amanico : January 19th, 2015-15:55
There is an important and interesting argument, here. They focused, at JLC, on the availablity of the watches unveiled these past years. So, they need to focus their efforts on that. Moreover there are some watches which will be unveiled later. Some are v...
Thank you for the overview, Nicolas!

I feel it is a very "blingy" lineup fomr JLC this year - hope to see some more "tool" related watches as well...! Best Blomman
JLC still got just Silver
By: dr.kol : January 19th, 2015-06:55
AP probably is unbeatable. They could place over 50 ct to one single watch. Looking at the offerings of today, I feel very good. My savings are safe. Best, Kari

I am sure these are not all from JLC this year...
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 19th, 2015-22:39
Initial feelings from press photos, are not always the truth, but these I get a "blingy" feeling from. Hopefully that feeling will go away once we go down a bit in the price ranges! Secretly I have been hoping for a new tool watch from JLC, but I guess th...
Thank you Nicolas for the report
By: proestak : January 19th, 2015-07:24
To be honest I was expected to see the new collection that said that will be positioned between the Reverso and the Compressor line. Maybe later this year. Best Yiannis
Agree with Blomman
By: tinker2 : January 19th, 2015-07:33
Sadly, as JLC is my favorite brand, this is so so so not my style. The meteorite seems so gimmicky, the rest seem so bling-bling. But I am sure the know their market.
I feel a little disappointed after what I expected
By: Mark in Paris : January 19th, 2015-10:39
I like the Spherotourbillon's grainy dial and overall look but I must say I don't really like the other novelties this year. I think I really have to see the Meteorite dials in the metal to see how it looks like and how it combines with the case colors. T...
Up to now
By: stromer : January 19th, 2015-11:00
it looks more like a consolidation year. Though I know somebody very dear to me who will be very interested to hear that JLC indeed hear her calling for a large version in the Rendez-Vous line other than the Tourbill(i)on :-) Well, let's wait and see........
Wow! quite a bit to chew:)...
By: Sandgroper : January 20th, 2015-11:24
My favourite, the Master Calendar Meteorite Stainless Steel, love the texture of the dial it reminds me of the "Nazca Lines", intriguing, mysterious and the Atmos, what a marvelous piece. Thank you Nicolas. Cheers Francois
I'm glad to see....

from the website that the "Master Black" series is back. -Dean
I'm glad to see Reverso Central Seconde and

Both as listed at the JLC website under "Latest 2015 Collections" --- Reverso Central Seconde Master Ultra Thin Moon 39, black dial #/t1 A.N.
Thanks Nicolas!
By: MichaelC : January 20th, 2015-12:06
Some added bling to the lineup... maybe something is in the water in the Vallée de Joux... lots of jewels this year from AP too. The Master Calendar Meteorite, definitely my favorite. I'll stay tuned on this one.
Great report, thank you
By: vitalsigns : January 21st, 2015-10:16
Thank you for the report and for the photos. Doesn't appear to be anything that I will pursue this year as the focus seems to be on the very high-end, although I would love to get a Renzez Vous for my wife someday...anniversary coming up, so maybe... Hope...
but...
By: tinker2 : January 21st, 2015-18:24
Meteorites? Really? This is what it has come to? What does that have to do with horology? Where is the next Amvox 2?
I will wait because...
By: cory : January 22nd, 2015-11:08
I know it will be worth it. I would however like to see JLC revisit the next LAB III in a new case/collection... does it have to be a master compressor? I would like to see it much smaller also (40mm) with a cleaner dial and a more highly finished movemen...
If the above was too much to ask....
By: cory : January 22nd, 2015-11:21
I would also like to see JLC challenge the thickness of the next LAB III with its highly innovative movement and architecture ... I would like to the case offering much thinner . ;) ...
Absolutely... I love it!
By: cory : January 22nd, 2015-11:58
I like your 'Cocktail' choice very much... it would be so nice in a cleaner/less fussy dial and smaller thinner case with all the innovation and technology of the original LAB. Will be interesting to see where the developments go!
Exactly...

You got it! - Small - High-tech design with clean lines - Revolutionary - Lubricant free - Resistance to extreme temps -40°/+60° - Damn sexy ;) ...

This is the first SIHH,as long as remember,without a totally new movement release from JLC. Best Yiannis
But when...

How long do we have to wait!? ;)
About the New Blue Extreme Lab 2...
By: Tim_M : January 23rd, 2015-08:13
... now that JLC has it listed openly on the novelties section of their corporate site, I'm dying to hear the details about this new variant! Best, Tim
