Harrods Celebrates 180 Years of Jaeger- LeCoultre

For the first time in the history of Harrods, its legendary windows on Brompton Road showcase a large scale and immersive experience in real watchmaking with the Manufacture Jaeger- LeCoultre. This seminal exhibition brings together all major Metiers rares and the renowned Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Class, marking the 180th anniversary of the Manufacture.
Leading experts from Jaeger-LeCoultre specialised in Metiers rares and fine watchmaking set up workshops dedicated to the art of watch making. From the smallest pinion to the largest barrel, learn to assemble the main spring, responsible for powering the train wheels, through to the escapement or ‘heart’ of the watch which regulates the energy to the balance. Working with these minute components under the guidance of the watchmakers of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre will highlight many key aspects of true savoir-faire in fine watchmaking today.
“One hundred and eighty years after the founding of our Manufacture in Switzerland, Jaeger-LeCoultre has a following of watch connoisseurs in all corners of the world. Harrods truly being a “window to the world”, what better place to showcase the talent and expertise of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre in the very windows of this iconic destination?” Said Jérôme Lambert, Chief Executive Officer of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Michael Ward, Managing Director, Harrods adds “Harrods are extremely excited to be partnering with Jaeger-LeCoultre in celebration of the Manufacture’s 180thanniversary. As luxury brand leaders we share an esteemed history and a great understanding of the true notion of luxury. Harrods continues to position itself as a global market leader within the fine watch industry and our partnership with Jaeger-LeCoultre enables us to further strengthen that reputation.”
