Jaeger-LeCoultre, a key economic player in the Vallée de Joux, is announcing the largest extension in its history. The site of the Manufacture, currently spread over 16,000 square metres, will be enlarged by a further 9000 square metres by the year 2010. Loyal to its historical roots within an exceptional natural setting nestling between lake and forests on the outskirts of Le Sentier, the watch Manufacture has chosen to pursue its development within the brand’s historical cradle, to which the new building will be linked by astutely designed architectural elements.
