THE recent Mastering the Art of Time event hosted by BT Club saw watch enthusiasts gathering to delve into Jaeger-LeCoultre’s (JLC) intricate world of watchmaking. Among the highlights was a workshop on assembling the Manufacture Calibre 822, the movement that powers JLC’s iconic Reverso watches.

All 12 slots for Mastering the Art of Time – spread over two detailed sessions – were filled in days. Attendees went home with a bespoke passport holder and leather tray to commemorate BT Club’s first watchmaking masterclass and experience. They each also received a certificate of participation and a tote bag from JLC.
