Jaeger-LeCoultre Releases Master Memovox International Colette Edition

Jaeger-LeCoultre recently released the Master Memovox International Colette Edition. Colette is a Parisian concept store, stocking all things “hip, unique, and hard to find.” Released as a tribute to the historic 1958 model, the Memovox Worldtimer includes a unique feature: its central alarm disc also shows the world time zones. This exclusive series appeals particularly to avid collectors of the Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces. It is a limited edition of 3 pieces.



It features a stainless steel case, a black dial with a date display and an alligator leather strap. The difference between this and the standard Master Memovox International is the light blue Colette notation on the dial and the blue stitching on the strap.

Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces are available at King Jewelers in Nashville, TN and Aventura, FL. For more information, please visit www.jaeger-lecoultre.com and www.kings1912.com.

A NEW STANDARD OF HAUTE HOROLOGY EXCELLENCE: JAEGER-LeCOULTRE’S EXTREME LAB

Last week, the King family of King Jewelers Nashville and King Jewelers Aventura met with Philippe Bonai, president of Jaeger-LeCoultre, at the Richemont headquarters in New York City for the post-SIHH 2010 show. While my family had the opportunity to view some amazing new timepieces up close for the first time, we were all most impressed with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new Exterem Lab 2 watch. This masterpiece of haute horology will compete with Richard Mille’s creations for just a fraction of the cost and offers much more accurate time precision. This is the coolest watch of 2010!!!

The Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 redefines the standard for extreme timepieces. Its new Calibre 780 and 781 for the Tribute to Geophysic offers unprecedented functions, developed to ensure ergonomic and highly functional use. This automatic chronograph has a large double-digit minute counter and a function selector integrated in the crown. The titanium version pays tribute to the historical Geophysic watch while exploring avant-garde solutions to protect the movement from magnetic fields.
