This Holiday Season, Jaeger-LeCoultre offers an unexpected and elevated new experience, blending artistic creativity with the precision of science.

Since 2020, Jaeger-LeCoultre has introduced the Made of Makers programme, which draws a parallel between the worlds of horology and art, fostering collaborations with artists, designers and craftsmen from disciplines outside watchmaking, who share the common values of creativity, expertise, and precision. The programme explores how traditional forms and techniques can be reinvented through new materials and media, offering a fresh perspective between past and present.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s latest collaboration under the Made of Makers programme – three exclusive olfactory signatures for La Grande Maison are designed by acclaimed French perfumer Nicolas Bonneville.

The creation of an olfactory identity for Jaeger-LeCoultre explores the natural affinity between the world of perfumery and that of watchmaking: both art forms are intricate disciplines that share a deep sense of artistry, balance tradition with innovation and rely on precision and detail. Nicolas Bonneville combines creativity, imagination and innovation, together with an exceptional understanding of sensory perceptions, re-design the scents beyond classical codes and cultural borders.

Participants will discover the three olfactory signatures designed by Nicolas Bonneville, through educational and sensorial experiences in this festive month.
