Jaeger-LeCoultre will host a series of thematic exhibitions events around the globe – an invitation for clients and the general public alike to discover how the mysteries of the cosmos are translated into micro-mechanical wonders that tell the time by capturing the universe in miniature.
In 2022, Jaeger-LeCoultre pays homage to the astronomical phenomena that lie at the very origin of how mankind measures time. Since the earliest days of the manufacture, astronomical functions have played a major role in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s portfolio of complicated timepieces, ranging from simple forms of moon phase display to highly complex perpetual calendars, equations of time, sky charts, and the draconic and anomalistic lunar cycles.
Mastering all three measures of time–solar, lunar and sidereal–the watchmakers of La Grande Maison have perpetually innovated to create the most advanced and precise mechanisms that represent or even predict celestial phenomena.
This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre embarks on a stellar Odyssey with an immersive exhibition and a series of themed events that will embrace inspirational collaborations with a visual artist and a mixologist, as well as a fascinating program of celestially themed Discovery Workshops at Atelier d’Antoine. Tracing the eternally fascinating story of time and unveiling Jaeger-LeCoultre’s newest celestially inspired timepieces, the exhibition also features an immersive multi-media installation that will take visitors on a virtual journey to the cosmos.
