Following the debut of ‘The Precision Pioneer’ at Watches and Wonders Geneva in April, the UAE is the first stop on a world tour. Located at The Space at ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC, ‘The Precision Pioneer’ is open to the public free of charge and will run from 7–19 May 2024.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Visitors will discover the story of precision through four major themes: The Precision of Production and Decoration, The Precision of Chronometry, The Precision of Regulating Organs and The Precision of Complications.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>The experience will be enriched by:</span></p><ul><li><span>Hands-on watchmaking Discovery Workshops;</span></li><li><span>A space devoted to the video series ‘In the Making’, which reveals the secrets of many skills practised in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s integrated Manufacture;</span></li><li><span>A live demonstration of key stages in watchmaking production;</span></li><li><span>The Precision Atelier, serving a menu of bites and paired beverages created exclusively for Jaeger-LeCoultre by two Michelin-starred chef Himanshu Saini;</span></li><li><span>A series of new light-painting works created under the latest Made of Makers programme;</span></li><li><span>An exceptional new limited-edition watch that will make its world debut.</span></li></ul><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong>The Pursuit of Precision – a Story of Ingenuity Told in Four Chapters</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>A core value since the company was founded by Antoine LeCoultre in 1833, the quest for precision has particular significance at Jaeger-LeCoultre. A prolific inventor as well as a visionary watchmaker, the founder of La Grande Maison was obsessed with precision and several of his inventions, including the first pinion-cutting machine, were to have a profound influence on the entire watchmaking industry. Over the decades, continuing research into precision has resulted in a series of breakthroughs, with many of the Maison’s 430 patents being awarded for its work in this field. Today, while modern technological aids to precision have turned core stages of the watch production process into an exact science, technology will never entirely replace the precise human gestures involved at every stage from raw metal to finished timepiece, for it is the craft of the human hand that imbues a fine mechanical watch with its ineffable soul.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>‘The Precision Pioneer’ celebrates the magic of mechanical watchmaking. </span><span style="background-color:white;">The exhibits will include rarely seen archive materials as well as components that allow insight deep inside watch mechanisms. Alongside a collection of remarkable historic timepieces, highlights of the current collection will include the new Duometre models launched at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024, and the global launch of a new high-complication watch. </span><span>Revealing the intellectual rigour and technical ingenuity that lie at the very foundation of watchmaking, the exhibition tells the intriguing story of precision in four chapters.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong>The Precision of Production and Decoration</strong> tells the origin story of how the Maison’s founder translated his obsession with precision into inventions that were to lay the foundations for the modern watchmaking industry. It reveals how the founder’s spirit has driven the Manufacture for almost two centuries, harnessing cutting-edge technologies to enhance and complement the irreplaceable value of precise hand-craftsmanship. This chapter also explores the high-precision crafts employed in the decoration and finishing of movements and dials. <strong>The Precision of Chronometry</strong> identifies milestones in the Manufacture’s development of chronometer timepieces, from pocket watches in the 19th century, to today’s new models that are all certified under the rigorous 1000-Hour Control protocol. Chronometry means, simply, timekeeping accuracy, and this chapter reveals the deep research that must be undertaken to compensate for the challenges that a wristwatch faces during daily wear.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong>The Precision of Regulating Organs</strong> reveals the vital role of the regulating organ (namely, the balance wheel and hairspring). This is the beating heart of the watch that we find so fascinating to observe – and the regularity of that heartbeat, known as isochronism, is crucial to accurate timekeeping. Visitors will discover Jaeger-LeCoultre’s ceaseless research into the ideal forms of hairsprings and tourbillons, which have resulted in many patented inventions. <strong>The Precision of Complications</strong> explores why the addition of complications (additional functions, such as calendars, chronographs or minute repeaters) is a fundamental challenge to timekeeping precision because operating a complication disrupts the perfectly regular flow of energy from the mechanism’s barrel to its regulating organ. This chapter demonstrates how Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmakers have mastered the precision of complications and invented the Duometre system, which ensures that the operation of a complication has no impact on the timekeeping function.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong>A Hands-on Educational Journey</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Revealed at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024, Jaeger-LeCoultre is pleased to count a new Discovery Workshop to be offered by the Atelier d’Antoine.&nbsp; Focusing on precision – a pillar of the Maison since it was founded in 1833 – this programme presents a great opportunity to discover why precision is crucially important at every stage of the watchmaking process.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>As its name suggests, the Precision Pioneer Discovery Workshop reveals the true meaning of precision in watchmaking, the challenges that mitigate against it, and the exceptional degree of skill required to achieve precision at the highest level. Rarely showcased in its own right, precision is fundamental to every stage of the watchmaking process from raw materials to finished timepieces. Participants in this dynamic and interactive Precision Pioneer Discovery Workshop will encounter many surprises, including the rare opportunity to try a key watchmaking skill with their own hands, guided by an expert from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Precision Pioneer Discovery Workshop will be available to all visitors by appointment.</span></p><p><span><strong>A Celebration of Craftsmanship</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Showcasing the 180 skills housed under one roof at the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, a space within the exhibition is dedicated to aspects of the craft and art of watchmaking that have particular relevance to the theme of precision. ‘In the Making’ is devoted to a series of short films that take viewers behind the scenes, each focusing on a single craft, including rarely seen stages of the watchmaking process, with voiceovers that explain the artisans’ processes in their own words. In addition, visitors can watch live demonstrations of two key skills: profile turning (known as blanking) and movement assembly.</span></p><p><span>&nbsp;<strong>Art and Gastronomy Meet Fine Watchmaking</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Two collaborations initiated by Jaeger-LeCoultre under its Made of Makers programme will also be showcased as part of the exhibition. Through a series of collaborations with artists, designers and craftsmen from disciplines outside watchmaking, Made of Makers explores and extends the dialogue that naturally exists between horology and art. The programme has, to date, embraced the visual arts, gastronomy and music.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Translating the concept of ‘The Precision Pioneer’ yearly thematic into a captivating sensory journey, the Made of Makers programme commissioned the two-Michelin-starred, Dubai-based chef Himanshu Saini to create the Precision Atelier, a new gastronomic experience dedicated to the science of ingredients. The Precision Atelier offers a specially created menu of tasting bites matched to perfectly paired drinks, that take guests on a true adventure in taste and texture – a fascinating journey through layers of precisely blended and balanced flavours that evolve on the palate, with the added surprise of familiar ingredients taking on unexpected textures.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Jaeger-LeCoultre will also unveil the latest Made of Makers collaboration during the exhibition: a series of works by one of the world’s rising stars in the art of light-painting.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong>Opening Hours and Admission</strong>:</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>‘The Precision Pioneer’ exhibition will occur from 7–19 May 2024 at The Space, ICD Brookfield Place, DIFC. Open to the public free of charge, from 11am to 10pm on weekdays and 10am to 10pm on weekends.

Dubai was chosen as the first stop on a tour of major world cities, which will continue throughout 2023 and beyond.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>“The Stellar Odyssey is a deeply immersive experience, inviting you to explore the wonders that we can observe in our night sky and their symbiotic relationship with the art of watchmaking,” said Catherine Rénier. “Because the ancient cultures of the Middle East played a seminal role in the origins of time measurement, we are truly honoured to begin the world tour of this exhibition here in Dubai.”</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Showcasing a careful curated selection of the Manufacture’s most remarkable historic timepieces as well as its most recent celestially-inspired timepieces, the exhibition features multi-media installations<strong> </strong>that will take visitors on a virtual journey to the cosmos. It translates the wonders of the celestial world into art installations and multi-sensory experiences, while the Atelier d’Antoine, named after the Maison’s founder, Antoine LeCoultre, shares watchmaking know-how through hands-on educational workshops based on the Stellar Odyssey theme.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>In the heart of the main pavilion beneath a geodesic dome, an immersive digital show takes visitors on a virtual journey through space and time, transporting them through infinite space and 13.7 billion years of time to reveal the mysteries of the cosmos in five episodes – from the origins of our known universe to the present day.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Among the highlights of The Stellar Odyssey is</span><span style="background-color:white;"> also a </span><span>new art installation, </span><i><span>Passengers: Through Time </span></i><span>by the French visual artist, Guillaume Marmin, which makes its world debut in Dubai. Specially commissioned by Jaeger-LeCoultre, its endless reflections and astonishing perspectives invite visitors to reflect on the fundamental question of what time really is.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>“Jaeger-LeCoultre’s celestial theme resonates very strongly with me because, working with light and sound, we are at the crossroads of scientific, artistic, philosophical, even mystical questions,” said the artist. “I also have a strong desire to take art out of the galleries and to invest the public space, so it’s a great privilege to invite a wider public to experience my art as part of The Stellar Odyssey.”</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>To enrich the Stellar Odyssey experience, Jaeger-LeCoultre asked world-renowned mixologist Matthias Giroud to create a special menu of soft cocktails. Regarded as an alchemist-artist in his field, Matthias has combined celestial inspiration with intriguing flavours from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s home in Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux. Enjoyed by guests during the opening event, these exceptional mocktails will also be offered to visitors during the 20 days of the exhibition.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Both artists, who flew to Dubai for the opening event, are collaborating with Jaeger-LeCoultre under the aegis of its Made of Makers programme – an ongoing series of collaborations with artists, designers and craftsmen from disciplines outside watchmaking, which explores and extends the dialogue that exists between horology and art.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><i><span>The Stellar Odyssey exhibition&nbsp;will be&nbsp;open from February 4<sup>th</sup> to 23<sup>rd</sup>, from 2:00pm to 12:00am on weekdays, and from 2:00pm to 1:00am on weekends, at the Dubai Fountains (Dubai Mall Cinema Parking, lower ground entrance near Bateel) Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates.</span></i></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><i><span>The exhibition is open to the public with free admission, but booking is recommended at&nbsp;</span></i><a href="https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us-en/news/events/the-stellar-odyssey-exhibition"><i><span>https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us-en/news/events/the-stellar-odyssey-exhibition</span></i></a></p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[The Stellar Odyssey,collaboration,Dubai,carousel]]></category>

The exhibition is an invitation for watch enthusiasts and the general public alike to discover how the mysteries of the cosmos are translated into micro-mechanical wonders that capture the universe in miniature, in order to tell the time.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Exploring the wonders that we can observe in our night sky, The Stellar Odyssey reveals the awe-inspiring phenomena that the watchmakers of Jaeger-LeCoultre express through their celestial complications, displaying mankind’s link to the cosmos directly on the wrist in a literal, philosophical and uniquely captivating way.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Following the inauguration of The Stellar Odyssey at Watches and Wonders in 2022, Dubai has been chosen as the first stop on a tour of major world cities. The exhibition will be staged in a spectacular pavilion ‘floating’ on the waters of the Dubai Fountain, with Burj Khalifa as its backdrop.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>“It is an important part of our mission at Jaeger-LeCoultre to share the secrets behind the art and craft of watchmaking with the wider world by bringing our Manufacture from the Vallée de Joux to the public around the globe,” says Catherine Rénier, CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. “The ancient cultures of the Middle East played a seminal role in the origins of time measurement, and we are therefore delighted that Dubai is where the world tour of The Stellar Odyssey makes its debut. It is a special opportunity to trace the unbroken line through several millennia to the exceptional legacy of innovation that has driven our Maison for 190 years and the work that we do today.”</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Showcasing a careful curated selection of the Manufacture’s most remarkable historic timepieces as well as its most recent celestially-inspired timepieces – including the extraordinary Atmos clock and the Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 – the exhibition features multi-media installations<strong> </strong>that will take visitors on a virtual journey to the cosmos. It translates the wonders of the celestial world into art installations and multi-sensory experiences, while the Atelier d’Antoine, named after the Maison’s founder, Antoine LeCoultre, shares watchmaking know-how through hands-on educational workshops based on the Stellar Odyssey theme.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong>Revealing the Mysteries of Astronomical Timekeeping in Eight Chapters</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Within the main exhibition pavilion, The Stellar Odyssey explores the creative and cultural universe of astronomically-inspired watchmaking in eight chapters. Visitors begin by discovering the very origins of time, the impact of celestial phenomena on the way we measure it, and the origins of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s expertise in developing astronomical complications. Each of the five following chapters leads visitors through a different cosmic phenomenon, displaying rare historic watches as well as timepieces from the most recent collections to illustrate how the Manufacture has continually reinterpreted the movements of the stars and planets in the form of intricate complications that represent, measure and even predict celestial events directly on the wrist.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong>Enriching the Stellar Experience</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>In the heart of the main pavilion beneath a geodesic dome, an immersive digital show takes visitors on a virtual journey through space and time, transporting them through infinite space and 13.7 billion years of time to reveal the mysteries of the cosmos in five episodes – from the origins of our known universe to the present day.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>“Through a variety of immersive experiences, The Stellar Odyssey presents different interpretations of the cosmos and its relation to timekeeping, inviting visitors to understand it more deeply,” says Catherine Rénier. “As well as transmitting the savoir-faire of watchmaking through the Atelier d’Antoine workshops, these experiences include two special collaborations under our Made of Makers programme.”</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>Established for the purpose of enriching the dialogue that has long existed between horology, artisanship and art, Made of Makers is a programme of collaborations with artists and artisans from various disciplines outside watchmaking. It focuses on world-class creators who share Jaeger-LeCoultre’s values of creativity, expertise and precision and whose work explores new forms of expression through different and often unexpected materials and media. For The Stellar Odyssey, Jaeger-LeCoultre has commissioned projects by French multi-media artist Guillaume Marmin and world-renowned mixologist Matthias Giroud.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>For his installation, </span><i><span>Passengers: Through Time</span></i><span>, Guillaume Marmin employs light, sound and movement in complex relationships that redefine traditional ideas of sculpture, space and time. As visitors walk through the work, infinite reflections and dizzying perspectives take them on a stellar excursion in which they are the protagonists, inviting reflection on the fundamental question of what time really is. For the Stellar Atelier, Matthias Giroud has created a menu of highly original soft cocktails inspired by the cosmos, taking his inspiration from the colours, temperatures and forms of the stars and planets, and blending familiar ingredients with intriguing scents and flavours from the Vallée de Joux.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>In the Atelier d’Antoine, visitors can complete their journey of astral discovery by joining a hands-on Discovery Workshop that focuses on the wonder of astronomical complications and the celestial origins of time-keeping – a rare opportunity to gain deep insight and practical experience of this magical world.</span></p><p><span>The Stellar Odyssey will be presented from Saturday 4<sup>th</sup> to Thursday 23<sup>rd</sup> February 2023 at the Dubai Fountain, Downtown Dubai, open daily from 2:00pm to 12.00 am.
