I want to go back to Le Sentier...
Slightly more than 3 months have passed since some of us were visiting the Manufacture end of last october.
It was such a great time there. Each opportunity I have to have a look at the pictures, I just remember so many nice people, so many good times.
And when I begin dreaming of the (I'm pretty sure) very nice new timepieces we are going to see soon (I hope I am right Jaw?), I would want to stop by again, ring at the door, and have a look inside. Where to look for inside? It doesn't matter anyway, it's just good everywhere. Just like the "Ali Baba cavern", but with fine people.
I hope to live again the flavour of all that at the SIHH (JLC will have a 1200 square meters stand). Two months to go!
I also hope (but I am sure indeed) Jaw will help us during these two months.
How do you remember that visit now for those who were there?

Still not sure it was real!
As I said at the time: ".....Did all that really happen????.It feels like a memory implanted by Recall Inc, ? or was it? I look down to see I?m clutching a press pack of AMVOX1????." The trip was "Beyond belief, once in a lifetime," with "inconceivable ge...
There was always fondue....
Hello Jerome, yes I remember the visit vividly and wish that I too could return to Le Sentier. The visit was unbelievably generous on the part of MJLC and Jaw. An opportunity of life time and an experience not to be forgotten. A pleasure to meet so many f...
Yes there was always fondue but...
there was always Gentiane to help us digest. I am glad you kept the Reverso. I have a few pictures with your watch on my wrist and also a picture of your watch and the Gyrotourbillon. Hard choice. Both nice ways of near perfection. I saw your ad and wonde...
Some photos and explanation on the non-sale of the Reverso Tourbillon...
Several Purists actually wrote to me personally and (rightly) questioned by sanity on selling the Reverso. A couple of fellow Purists on the trip also wrote to me on the same topic. I had intended to answer each in turn, but hopefully they will accept thi...
I really never wanted to post this picture, but...
we (at home) privately call it "The Jaegerminator". Yes the trip brings back an unforgettable memories... Carl...
Yes that's quite horrifying...
but you are right to look at the truth. I hope she didn't borrow your 5059 to train! You know what? I work as a translator now. I translate the Reverso book from italian to french (for myself). I am not more successful than I was. If you ever pass by Brit...
But you should see Jaegerminator's husband.....
... and that will be the sheer horror Just look what he's doing with his Laser-Spectacles....destroying an innocent horological creature with delight....Horror!!! This tour really was great - and an unforgettable pleasure meeting all this nice people! All...
I don't remember that Suitbert...
didn't you cheat on that. But that's perhaps what we would have wanted to do sometimes. I wish you a time as good on the PP forum as the one we had ? la manufacture. See you sometime this spring in Geneva I hope.
Of course I was joking...
... did you really take me serious? (or even worse, Carl, hey that was a joke ) As far as I remember all movements were working fine afterwards, even the one I abused. Best wishes to all and yes, that ywould be great to meet up in Geneva! Suitbert
Re: I want to go back to Le Sentier...
Was talking about the trip the other day... moreover to the amazing hospitality, I do miss the fun I had with all the great people I met during the trip. Take care everyone, hope to see you again should you come to Italy or Malaysia...
the best factory tour I ever had in my life,
Hi Jerome, I have made several visits to manufacturers, not only watch manufacturers but also others including those for study tours; and our visit to MJLC was the best one in my life, ever !! But the visit was quite successful also because of great parti...
Fantastic, unforgettable trip
Hi Jerome, just to add to what Tim and the others have said, the generosity, openness and attention of MJLC were just incredible. Of course having the indefatigable Jaw being our point man made a lot of difference as well. All in, what I experienced at Le...
The trip of tips
The trip was more than a trip into fantasy land. The watches, the people, the new friends, the watches, the food, the watches, the gracious people, the watches. I laughingly remember the jewel that I popped out of the 875 movement that I was working on. W...
