THE PROGRAMME
REFLECTING ON THE HOUR BEFORE PEAK EXPERIENCES
Jaeger-LeCoultre presents a new series of short documentaries offering a rare glimpse into a community of personalities’ careers and behind-the-scenes moments of preparation, anticipation, and the quiet intensity that precedes greatness.
From the anticipation of a life-changing casting to the silence before the curtain rises, from solitary training before breaking a record to the creative spark that gives birth to a song, “The Hour Before” captures these rare, intimate moments of introspection and preparation.
Through each episode, La Grande Maison reveals them in a new light – sincere, unguarded, almost vulnerable – opening the door to the stories that have shaped their destiny.
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 Maison 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.

LENNY KRAVITZ: GOOD THINGS COME AT THE RIGHT TIME
Let Love Rule was something I'd written on the wall next to the elevator of my apartment when I was around 22... One day, I remember coming off the elevator, I glanced at it and ... wrote the song. It just came out... I had no idea that this would become my anthem , and those three words encapsulate what I still believe in today.
