The New For 2018 Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Watch Collection
This year was rumored to be the year that Jaeger LeCoultre brought a new sports watch to market-one that would join the growing ranks of the modern "luxury sport"category, and (we hoped) would bring a fresh rival to the likes of Piaget, Girard Perregaux, Audemars Piguet, and even Patek Philippe competing in that space.
