- Today we kick off a series recently filmed during my 2017 Switzerland tour. In this first episode I visit one of my favourite Swiss luxury watch makers, and share the journey from raw materials to finished timepiece with a brand renowned for their in-house manufacturing. Jaeger-LeCoultre is like no other brand, with a long history of innovation and a plethora of iconic timepieces that proudly bear their name. In this exclusive, behind the scenes video, we take a look at some astounding ATMOS clocks, highlights from their museum, and awe inspiring watches featuring many of their grand complications. From the famous Reverso, to a duo-metre chronograph, a perpetual calendar with a Tourbillon, and of course, their insanely cool GyroTourbillons, Jaeger-LeCoultre is truly a legendary brand.

Brilliant video, a real pleasure to watch. This is the type of content rarely seen on TH-cam, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the opportunity to have a exclusive peek into JLC's factory. Congrats TGV!
The JLC Factory tour is...sublime. Those masterpieces [can’t just call them watches ~ sacrilege!!!] expose & Detail THE #1 Human ‘Gift’...Imagination. I could/WILL Watch (Pun?/!) this Video for many hours. You’ve ‘NAILED IT’ w/ your Swiss JLC Factory coverage - I know it took my breath away... Kudos!!
I believe you have achieved a new level of excellence. The factory tour is fascinating. I love that they still make honey! Thank you for taking us along.
An absolute pleasure Chad, thank you so much for the kind words.
Best regards,
TGV
must be nice to be rich and white
Mate you look like a kid in a sweet shop smiling ear to ear.
Easy to see you really enjoyed it.
Absolutely amazing to see the insides of such an amazing establishment.
An oldie, but a goodie! Great vid - that must have been a fantastic experience. Dude, those were treasures of horology! La Grande Maison, indeed.
TGV, Thank You so much for producing this video tour. Last night at dinner I decided to play it on our big screen while watching dinner and my wife and daughter were fascinated. It is seldom we can find anything to watch at dinner that we all like especially with the doom and gloom of the news and these tour programs are just the ticket. We will continue to watch them at dinner until there are no more to watch and will watch the next tour tonight! Also a huge shout out to the production quality, music and editing of these programs, they especially look and sound good on our 4k TV and soundbar with subwoofer, very professional. We look forward to seeing more and Thanks again. Joe / Northern Calfornia
Thanks for walking us through the Jaeger LeCoultre manufacture and new museum
Omg ... these watches are breathtaking ... thanks so much for sharing this experience!
One of my favorite brands, it must have been such an honor to be able to visit them, I hope one day I will be able to do the same
Thanks for bringing us along for the tour! Awesome!
Dear Tristano!
Smetana: Moldva is a beautiful music in your intro. I tried a few new, solid Jaeger Le Coultre watches on. J. L. C. is one of my favourite brand, planning purchase one timepiece in a few years.
The visit and workshop and filming of the factory is just amazing and absolute pleasure to see all of that! Beautiful work! Thank you... oh, and guys, I'm really happy to read all of your comments!
I am glad to see many watch enthusiast friends from all around the World!
Best regards, Robert
One of my favorite videos ever made! Thank you TGV!
One of the best episodes of the entire show. Amazing stuff TGV, thanks for bring this to us, a pleasure to watch.
The best JLC factory tour I've seen so far
Absolutely beautiful timepieces. The craftsmanship that goes into building these is quite mind boggling. The Tourbillion is unreal. Awesome learning video. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Stunning watches and nicely done TGV.
Just come back from New York and was so impressed with the amount of Watch shops there! I constantly thought to my self ‘what would you think of this watch’
I was so tempted to get a citizen automatic from the shop in Times Square however its the one that got away!
Thank you as always for giving me the bug of loving watches!
Diolch my friend
Tomos
People have said it a million times but your intros are wonderful.
It was a joy to watch the tour of their factory & museum. Such beautiful watches as well.
Truly brilliant! I am blown away how you edited this. Bravo!
Thank you for your art work on our behalf, Sophie.
A marvellous and rare opportunity to view the J-LeC factory! Many thanks.
The fastest i have ever clinked onto a You Tube video, fantastic looking movements and craftsmanship, great video TGV i hope you shot a load of footage while in Switzerland, could have watched that one for two hours, as always you videos seem too short.
Wow, I would just be giddy walking through there.
I can definitely understand how it’d feel to see all that and just have a huge smile on my face
Thanks for sharing TGV 👍🏻
Absolutely fascinating. It gives a much more distinct appreciation for high end timepieces. The introduction was great. Your music choices are impeccable as always. Thank you so much for sharing this experience.
Thank you so much Steve, you have no idea how motivational that is.
Best regards,
TGV
that was a very special day for ME. thanks for that mate - this is absolutely amazing!
Thank you Dmitry, deeply appreciated and always a pleasure.
Best regards,
TGV
Thanks, Tristano. Very absorbing. It surprises how such large machines turn out such intricate and delicate parts.
It’s just marvelous ! I couldn’t choose appropriate words to appreciate such a care for their history and respect for the “Art of Watchmaking”. Also thank you for being such a gentleman and posting your own personal experience on TH-cam. I’m a big fan and a watch enthusiast, starting my collection with the Seiko Alpinist. You inspired me a lot in making this decision. Hope u continue to amaze us with ur great videos, I must say they’re a gift for Watch collectors.
Some breath-taking and astounding pieces!
Thank you for making this video
Just stumbled upon this video. Those tourbillon watches are absolutely amazing. Incredible innovation and craftsmanship. Thanks for posting.
This is one of your best videos of all time, TGV. Thoroughly enjoyed this. So glad to see you really moving onwards and upwards!
This vid brings this channel on a whole new level over the rest of the pack. Thank you for letting us tag along with you, TGV!
Dude I hit like before the intro was even over. TGV you have a great attitude and even better production values. Love it.
Best video you’ve ever done. I’d pay them to work in their polishing department! I’ve had on my shortlist of next watch purchase in a year or two the JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon in steel with silver dial. After seeing this, it’s now top of the list.
Wow, great video TGV. I so want a JLC right now!
Thank you for exposing those of us that will never be able to own these fantastic watches to such wonderful pieces of mechanical art.We do not have to own art to appreciate it,I will never own a ferrari,or a Van Gogh; but that does not make them any less wonderfull to behold,or lesson the joy their very existence brings.
Fantastic tour of a legendary watchmaker. Many thanks TGV.
Thank you Norman :D
Always appreciated.
Best regards,
TGV
I thoroughly enjoyed this magical and educational tour. Very excited to see what you have in store for the rest of your Switzerland tour series!
After watching this video, I am now %100 confident I’m a watch nerd. This was amazing!! Thank you very much TGV. And if you even need a second person next time you go.....here I am!! Lol
The skills that these people have to create such devices is staggering.
Yeah. So staggering that I staggered and fell on the floor and hit my knee. 😩
Just bought my first lux watch, and its a JLC master control date with sector dial. Couldn't be happier with it :-) You should do a review!
Cool video. A place one must visit if ever in Switzerland and a watch fan.
Absolutely incredible, thank you for sharing. Truly astounding the level of craftsmanship that they are capable of. The intricacy, functionality, and beauty of their work really is mind blowing.
Opening music: Bedřich Smetana - Má Vlast (Vltava/Die Moldau). I'm born in Prague and that music is very dear to me, always reminds me of home. Thank you for using it in your video :) And thank you for the video itself, really great to watch.
Thankyou for providing an insiders insight into this amazing Factory!! How far this channel has come is brilliant!! This is what you really pay for.... truly worth every penny!! Keep it going TGV! BMJ ENGLAND
Really happy for you mate- been watching since 34000, every time I watch a video you have more subscribers! Glad to see that even the big brands have the vision to see the importance of your channel. Keep up the good work
WOW....!! what a privilege to be able to see this. Such a well made video. Thanks for sharing...👍
Excellent work TGV... Thanks for sharing this video. Much needed publicity for my favorite brand
Hard to put into words what this videos captures. The attention to detail and real world 21st century craftsmanship is jaw dropping. The fact that this happens in this day and age of instant gratification and right now manufacturing truly does my heart good. The Rotating Tourbillions are nothing short of staggering. I knew they existed, but never gave them any attention due to the price and rarity, but I think I did myself a bit of an injustice. Knowing the effort that goes into these 2 year to produce products just makes me appreciate my little SARB and my Omega that much more. Very well made video, that had a sense of culture and mystique about it. Must have been a mecca of sorts for you Tristiano. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great tour, continue to look forward more of those Tour episode ....Thumbs up!
In a word: breathtaking. Thanks for taking us along!
My grail is the Atmos clock. The first time I saw one it was amazing especially being conceived so long ago before all the technology today. Thank you for the tour and your channel.
Genius, never heard of it before.
Woooooow TGV you are killing me man. I could not describe my emotions when i see those finished timepieces.
I didn't know they are even exist , such a horology such a unique brand.
If i was in your place, in the Jaeger-LeCoultre house, I couldn't be alive now.
really thank you
It was an absolute joy to go through this video! Thanks, TGV, for bring us this opportunity to learn more about JLC, especially bring us up close to those stunning tourbillons!
My Jaeger le coultre was my father's. It has been maintained regularly & is now sixty years old.
It is as fine a piece as the day it was ready. It's a simple elegant design; self winding in a rose gold case. I treasure it & a new one is beyond my finances.
Fantastic! I can only imagine what it was like in person. Must have been surreal.
TGV the way you described the beauty of JLC, you just inspired me to work harder and own a JLC myself! Lots of love from India!
Tristano, you just amaze me! The fact that a lowly TH-camr is able to get access to such legendary watch manufacturers boggles my mind. The scenery is stunning! Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you Paul, I could not do it without the loyal support of people such as yourself.
Onwards and upwards my friends!
Best regards,
TGV
pltorok0515 lowly? Nah, he’s worked hard to get his channel where it is and I’m very happy for him. He’s a respected member of our community who has opened doors for all of us as this film shows us. Bravo!
Loved watching this segment! What a fantastic experience; thank you for sharing it with us!
Fascinating to get an insight into the manufacturing process of such beautiful timepieces! The gyro-Tourbillions are incredible! I look forward to seeing the upcoming videos from your trip.
Cheers,
James
Great video! Would like to add a few notes. The Tornos machines are Swiss lathes. Obviously, Swiss watch makers were the ones who invented them. They differentiate from traditional lathes due to the fact that the bars are fed in and out of a guide bushing and the tools are in front of the bushing. This allows you to do small delicate parts or long skinny shafts easier because the material is supported at the bushing which reduces deflection. With a traditional lathe, the stock is in a fixed position in a chuck and the tools move up and down the bar. So the entire part is sticking out which doesn’t work well with small or long parts.
Also, the robot that was measuring the parts is called a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine). It uses a touch probe that has either a carbide or synthetic ruby ball on the tip. They’re accurate to microns. I also think I saw a OGP Smart Scope system. Which is made here in New York State. 👍🏻
I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for making my day :). Congratulations on doing such an amazing job :)
That was the best youtube video I've ever seen. Amazing!!!
Thank you so much my friend,
I am deeply flattered and honoured.
Best regards,
TGV
What a treat! highly educational and fascinating - thank you very much! your running commentary made it like a documentary.
The Smetana you used in your intro today is one of my favorite pieces of classical music ever. I played it once, loved the rolling cello part, and have been hooked on it ever since. Great choice
This is some quality stuff right there.
Isse Al O Sorry, grammar nazi here, if you say "this" the proper word would be "here", not "there". You would say "there" if you said earlier, "that"
For example:
That is some quality stuff right there.
This is some quality stuff right here.
Sorry, I know, annoying grammar police. Heck, it could have just been a typo and I am making this comment for nothing.
Thank you a lot for this very fascinating documentary. I really appreciate your work & it’s always a great moment to watch your videos.
Truly fascinating video, trouble is now I want a JLC!
Wonderful video. Keep making more of these. JLC has quickly become one of my favorite brands.
This was a really captivating episode to watch. Thank you for sharing
Dear Sir, it is a pleasure to see the joy and happiness this visit has brought you, your eyes’ expression gave it all away. It’s clear this is not a visit rather than a pilgrimage... I have really enjoyed your video, because of your passion, it is all the more interesting for the viewer. It makes me eager for what is to come next. Jaeger Lecoultre is a brand I also love a lot because of all the ingredients they do so well. Warm greetings from Belgium to you sir.
Such a mesmerising experience and your camera angles and lighting capture the beauty of such wearable art pieces.
Awesome video! Watching that tourbillons, the following scene came into my mind from movie "Connections": Some celestial event. No - no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should've sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful... I had no idea."
What a great video! Can't even imagine such a amazing experience. Onwards and upwards TGV!
Moldau. Very nice touch and so appropriate to represent Switzerland
What a fascinating video and company! The Atmos clocks are such a beauty, I've never seen them before.
Simply professional! Superb work, Monsieur Tristano. JLCs are my favorite watches. I really enjoyed this report! Salut!
What a stunning facility! This was fantastic to watch and must have been so memorable to visit!
WOW just wow TGV very happy for you sir and amazing start to the series. Thanks for sharing this experience with us 👍👍⌚
If this is the first course, i can't wait to see more. The amount of time and craftsmanship that goes into some of those watches is just mind boggling.
Incredible video my friend!
The look on your face was priceless! I have a JLC Hometime Squadra, white dial, skeleton back! I Love my wrist art! I find it to be captivating to look at, dial side, and of course the movement. My favorite watch that I love to wear!!!
Thank You!
For this video, put a huge smile on my face!🙂🙂🙂
Amazing! So cool to get an inside look at the factory and museum.
Excellent video. What a pleasure to see the operations. Please let us see more. Many thanks.
Probably your best video to date ..! Thanks
Amazing tour, I love this edition of your visit to such extraordinary place. Simple and feeling like good old friends having such a good time. Exquisite time pieces that blows my mind, definitely beyond imagination. I’m so happy that you share the reality of another dream come true with us.
Thank you! This was a treat to watch. Can't wait for the next video's!
You Sir are a legend, I’m not a watch mastermind but your stage by stage tour was epic and the gyroscopes blew my mind!!! Well done, epic !!! 😎
Fabulous video. It made me appreciate the brand much more. What an art.
thank you for an inside view of JLC, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Love the channel!!
An absolute treat ! You are one lucky soul !
Superb video. Many thanks for sharing such a wonderful experience.
The sheer level of engineering brilliance along with the stunning artistry demonstrated by JLC has me thoroughly blown away. I totally geeked out on all of it and now need to have a bit of a rest. Will likely watch it again later. It was that fascinating. Thanks so much TGV and team. Really enjoyed the first of your Swiss adventure offerings🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Btw, any of the JLC pieces you want to review is fine with me😊.
This was absolutely stunning!, thanks for sharing!
TGV thanks for sharing this amazing tour me and my wife were in Genevieve 2 years ago wished I was into watch collection then because I would have loved to visit this factory and museum. Next time I will make it a must see on my tour. Keep up the excellent work.
Haha you were so focused and really listening to them. Your facial expression was equivalent of that of a kid in his favorite toy store. Excellent video TGV
Remarkable tour. JLC is stand alone incredible. I nominate a minute repeater. Thanx TGV.
Hi TGV
Fascinating to see a real watch factory from the inside. No wonder that watches are quite expensive when you see the kind of effort and machinery that goes into it.
More of this...
Keep up the good work👍
Nice informative video. There you can see how much workmanship and experience is needed to produce such an incredible watch. Keep on going with this awesome videos.
Simply outstanding... This is next level content. Very much appreciated.
