We were welcomed into a classroom that had been set up exactly like a watch replica making laboratory, with all the instruments the students could possibly require.

All contained, as Jaeger LeCoultre has accustomed us for over 180 years , into minute dimensions.

After a brief introduction by one of the master watch replica makers of the brand, we were provided with a step by step guide to dismantling the bridges, the power reserve module, the two barrels and after completing all the necessary steps, the movements to carry out and how to position the parts on the work table. This was then followed by the reverse cycle when we had to reassemble and operate the calibre mechanism. In performing these exercises, which were pretty difficult for beginners, we realized just how delicate and time consuming is the work carried out daily by the people who assemble or adjust our watch replica es replica. Something that outsiders tend to overlook but that really makes you appreciate the Jaeger LeCoultre you’re lucky enough to own and wear. A unique experience. Probably one of the most successful and fascinating of all the events manufactures organized for customers throughout the world.
