THE PROGRAMME
WHERE CRAFSTMANSHIP REVEALS PERSONALITY
The Hour Before is an intimate interview series by Jaeger-LeCoultre exploring the unseen moments that shape extraordinary journeys.
More than an interview, The Hour Before is conceived as a moment of connection, where the precision of watchmaking gestures becomes a quiet entry point into personality. The format reveals parallels between horological craft and artistic life: discipline, repetition, teamwork and the pursuit of progress over time.
THE TALENTS
IN DIALOGUE WITH EXCELLENCE
Just as in watchmaking, excellence in cinema, sport, music, or any other discipline is born of passion, perseverance, and an enduring pursuit of perfection.
The Ambassadors and Friends of the House specially curated for this series perfectly embody these values. Their achievements are the visible reward of countless unseen hours of commitment and discipline.
In these moments, their style emerges naturally – authentic and understated, mirroring the sincerity of the hours that shaped them. Whether on stage, on screen, or in the studio, they appear with elegance and simplicity, allowing their true character and talent to shine.
EPISODE 04
JOSHUA: A FORM OF STILLNESS BEFORE THE FIRST NOTE
Through the 4th episode of the interview series The Hour Before, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces internationally acclaimed artist and member of SEVENTEEN, JOSHUA, as Friend of the House. This collaboration reflects a shared appreciation for artistry, precision and dedication to craft.
The Hour Before is a moment where a rehearsal takes place in my mind. A kind of meditation that isn’t exactly meditation. Some rituals are too personal to fully explain. They just work.
