It was this year my 6th SIHH since I became a moderator and this year as every year as soon as I arrived at the SIHH I directly walked to the exterior windows of the Jaeger-LeCoultre exhibition to look at the novelties. I was very pleased with what I saw. I later realized that the two most appealing (to me) novelties where not even shown out there. I yet had to see them, or nearly.
Nearly because the most important new watch for Jaeger-LeCoultre this year, not in volume of production but in capacity to struck all minds attending, is a watch I saw earlier in 2011 but was asked to forget at that time. And as soon as I got into the booth and saw it again I was not just pleased, I was again caught!
