Say ‘hello’ to a new ambassador
Award-winning actress Anya Taylor-Joy, the new Ambassador for Jaeger-LeCoultre, made her debut with a short video “A Call of the Heart”. The image features the 26-year-old actress speaking on the phone, which has a dual meaning: One was the phone call she received welcoming her into La Grande Maison; the other was inspired by a historic phone call that was to have a profound impact on the Manufacture LeCoultre. In 1903, Jacques-David LeCoultre made a call to the Parisian watchmaker Edmond Jaeger to accept the latter’s challenge of creating an ultra-thin watch movement — beginning a long and fruitful collaboration that led to the formation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre company.
Star of the Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit, Taylor-Joy will next be seen in David O Russell’s Amsterdam with Christian Bale and Margot Robbie.
