A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Hands-on Watchmaking Experiences
A cinema space within the exhibition is dedicated to the 180 skills mastered within Jaeger-LeCoultre’s fully integrated Manufacture, showcasing essential aspects of the art and craft of watchmaking that have particular relevance to the theme of precision. In the Making is a series of short films that take viewers behind the scenes at the Manufacture, each focusing on a single craft: design, production, finishing, assembly and ornamentation.
In addition, visitors can watch live demonstrations of two key skills: perlage and movement assembly, and those who wish to try their own hand at these skills will be invited to do so. For those seeking an even deeper understanding of watchmaking, ‘The Precision Pioneer’ offers hands-on educational workshops at the Atelier d’Antoine in the newly opened flagship boutique, located just three minutes’ walk from the exhibition. Discovery Workshop sessions at the Atelier d’Antoine are available to all visitors by appointment.
