Together with an instructor and a technical expert, you will first discover why watches go `tick-tock`, how time can be expressed through sound, what makes a minute repeater chime - and the difference between a repeater and a Grande Sonnerie. You will also navigate through some of our historic landmark timepieces, as well as the Maisons's contemporary chiming watches. Our experts will reveal some of the secrets of our patented innovations that have improved the quality of sound over time. To be fully immersed within Jaeger-LeCoultre's universe, you will be invited to go hands-on, using larger-scale models to try to replicate the work of the Maisons's highly skilled watchmakers.
After a lunch break, you will then be invited to dive into the specifics of our chiming complications through a guided Manufacture visit. Our expert will take you from our Design and conception workshop to our Atelier des Grandes Complications to reveal the secrets of our high watchmaking know-how.
