summary
What did you think.
They have introduced models with complex mechanisms, but I was particularly impressed by the Duomètre Heliotourbillon Perpetual, which has excellent functionality and design. Only 20 are produced per year, and the suggested retail price is 400,000 euros, so I wonder if I'll ever get a chance to see the actual machine...
Jaeger-LeCoultre is a brand that releases new models from time to time, so we look forward to seeing additional models even after Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024 has concluded.
We will continue to report on the new models announced at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024, so stay tuned.
see you!
