Almost a century ago, the history of Jaeger-LeCoultre crossed paths with that of photography. The Manufacture produced a camera that would remain unique in its kind: the Compass. Paying tribute to this heritage, Jaeger-LeCoultre unveils exclusive contemporary pictures taken by the Compass camera in New York, Paris, Shanghai and Venice. Some of these images will be part of the exhibition “The Art of Behind the Scenes”, organized by Jaeger-LeCoultre in Cannes on Friday, May 19th, 2017, during the Cannes Film Festival.
