About Jaeger-LeCoultre:A creative vision. A perfect blend of technical excellence and artistic sensitivity. Haute Horlogerie and the filmmaking world enjoy many similarities. Whether in the workshops of the Manufacture or behind the scenes in the making of a movie, artisans and artists are fired by the same passion and the same creative impulse: to ensure that every second captures a moment of eternity. That is exactly why Jaeger-LeCoultre has been actively involved for more than 10 years in promoting the 7th art. The Brand notably encourages directors through the “Glory to the Filmmaker” prize awarded for the past eight years at the Venice International Film Festival. In 2013 Jaeger- LeCoultre further established its active support of the film community and its new generation of filmmakers by joining forces with The Film Society of Lincoln Center to create the ‘Filmmaker in Residence’ Program. Through its link with the Shanghai Film Festival, Jaeger-LeCoultre participates in restoring historical Chinese films, a precise, meticulous and passionately driven endeavour highly reminiscent of watchmaking craftsmanship.
