Press release
Alexander Linz, Watch Journalist of the daily newspaper"Die Presse", presented to 300 specialised guests of the watch industry the results of the public voting.
Jaeger-LeCoultre won the second place with the Master Grande Tradition à Tourbillon Quantième Perpétuel in the category "Complications", after having been already awarded the special price of the jury in the same category with this model during the official opening of the exhibition last November 12th.
Several prizes have been already received for this new model this last automn 2009. The new Master Grande Tradition line from Jaeger-LeCoultre is a perfect blend of technical performances and noble watchmaking traditions. Entirely dedicated to watches with a double complication, the Master Grande Tradition line fully reflects the inventiveness and excellence of the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux. With the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon à Quantieme Perpetuel, the association of a tourbillon with a perpetual calendar is a fascinatingly original conception based on a split-level structure. The dial is divided between an upper part displaying the hours and minutes as well as the perpetual calendar indications, and a lower part on which a slight difference of level enables the proeminent tourbillon to sparkle as if in a jewel case of light.
The winner of the lucky draw among the end consuments (from all the votings) chosed his favorite watch, the Master Reserve de Marche from Jaeger-LeCoultre.
