THE EXHIBITION
ANNOUNCING THE VALLEY OF INVENTIONS EXHIBITION IN SHANGHAI
Tracing more than 190 years of ingenuity in the pursuit of precision, the Valley of Inventions exhibition arrives in Shanghai from 10 to 23 September at Zhang Yuan W4. Inspired by the Vallée de Joux, the birthplace of the Maison and the cradle of modern high watchmaking, the exhibition invites visitors to journey into Jaeger-LeCoultre’s universe through immersive watchmaking, artistic and culinary experiences, while discovering the Maison’s latest creations.
CELEBRATING OVER 190 YEARS OF INVENTIONS
In the Vallée de Joux, mastery gave rise to imagination and imagination gave birth to invention. The Maison’s expertise in complicated timepieces established the region as the cradle of watchmaking complications. At the Valley of Inventions exhibition, visitors are invited to discover this unique story of innovation through four immersive chapters:
- Precision and Chronometry
- Precision and Tourbillon
- Precision and Multi-axis Tourbillon
- Precision and Complications
