Why Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Latest Traveling Collection Is Worth Your Time

If your ideal Sunday afternoon involves a casual scroll of Hodinkee.com or, worse, you are (un)lucky enough to work in the watch world, it is easy to become desensitized. Look at enough photos of a tourbillon cage on your favorite personal screen, and even the handiwork of Abraham-Louis Breguet can evoke a feeling of numbness or, to put it another way, a thought of “yep, just another tourb.” In reality, watchmaking is only truly experienced in person. Reading this site and others like it can supplement the experience, but it’s not the whole experience. This is why, upon hearing of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s latest traveling collection, rather than letting my eyes glaze over, I took a closer look.
