5 Watch Brands that Celebrate World Oceans Day with Solid Commitment to Conservation

By Roberta Naas It was eight years ago that the United Nations officially recognized June 8 as World Oceans Day. Today, we celebrate globally our Earth’s seas and our working together to keep them clean and healthy. Not only are organizations around the world fighting for this cause, but so, too, are a host of watch brands. Among them: Jaeger-LeCoultre, Rolex, Blancpain, Omega, IWC and a few others who offer everything from creating timepieces with proceeds going to organizations, to sponsorships of projects and expeditions, and more.

Inside the Manufacture: A Look at the Rare Handcrafts of Jaeger-LeCoultre

By Roberta Naas Tucked away in the village of Le Sentier, Switzerland, lies one of time’s best providers: Jaeger-LeCoultre. The manufacture – with more than 200 watchmakers and various artisans -- has a rich history of watchmaking and innovative, cutting-edge pioneering that sets it apart from most others and flags it as a benchmark leader. Let’s face it; the brand is just about 17 years shy of its 200th birthday. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Jaeger-LeCoultre and its rare handcrafts department. This is the heart of the artistic repertoire of the brand – the place where the masterful hand enameling, engraving and gem setting takes place. Here we share with you a little insight into how these incredible timepieces are hand crafted and brought to life.
