The Le Sentier based manufactory pulled out all the stops for the inauguration of its Heritage Gallery, a showcase for more than 500 pieces retracing the history of the prestigious watch manufacturer.

On 4 October this year more than 300 guests from all over the world made their way to Le Sentier to celebrate the opening of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Heritage Gallery. The evening began with a performance of acrobatics on the wall itself leading into the manufactory, which was followed by a firework display. The magic continued with the presence of Carole Bouquet who, having been chosen to inaugurate the museum, cut the symbolic ribbon with the CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre Jérôme Lambert. The latter then welcomed his guests into a marquee sumptuously decorated for the occasion to enjoy an evening of delights, not only for the palate, but also for the ears and eyes. The German singer Ute Lemper added a touch of grace to the event by performing a selection of pieces of her art. Art, but of the watchmaking variety this time, was also on offer to guests invited to take part in guided tours of the Heritage Gallery throughout the evening. The gallery is built on the same spot as the manufactoryA
