Extension work on the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre is proceeding at a steady rate and the new building will open on December 1st 2009.

As of then, a new 9000 square-metre production area will be added to the existing 16,000 square metres in order to meet the demands imposed by the brand's continuous growth.



In order to preserve the exceptional natural setting that has contributed to forging its legendary spirit of innovation, the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux is demonstrating its concrete commitment to sustainable development by earning two labels testifying to the environment-friendly quality of this new architectural achievement: on the one hand, the Minergie certificate granted to buildings ensuring a high level of comfort with low energy consumption; and on the other, the hydrolocale label which guarantees a supply of electricity produced by a renewable hydraulic energy, locally produced with water from the Joux lake.
