This week luxury watchmakers Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrated their 180th anniversary in style with the help of Clive Owen. The Academy Award-nominated actor joined Jaeger-LeCoultre in Switzerland, where the manufacture opened Maison d’Antoine, a space dedicated to encounters and to sharing watch knowledge. Clive Owen was one of the first to step inside the Maison d’Antoine, where he visited with Jérôme Lambert, […]

This week we spotted actor Jake Abel wearing the Master Grande Tradition à Tourbillon 43 watch at the Jaeger-LeCoultre sponsored premiere of the new sci-fi film The Host. We have a hunch that costar Diane Kruger, who is the face of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s feminine collection, might have influenced this stylish choice. Abel and Kruger were joined at the New York premiere […]

What does a wrist watch say about its owner? As a man, I know that to some extent, we measure each other up based on our watches. I remember talking to a boutique manager at one of Bal Harbour‘s finest shops about how she gauges the psychology of a customer to determine who is there […]
