Edwina Tops-Alexander visits Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre and announces her participation in the 2012 London Olympic Games

 

Edwina Tops-Alexander, the world’s top professional female show jumper, visited Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre in the Valley de Joux, Switzerland.

After a journey into the fascinating world of fine horology, Edwina shared her impressions: “I had a very interesting visit through the factory learning about some of the details that go into making a watch. Of course you appreciate this much more when you see this, and the amount of details and time that goes into making a watch is really incredible. I'm not sure what is more difficult making a watch or producing a Grand Prix horse!” 

Throughout 2012, Edwina will participate in the most prestigious jumping competitions, wearing a perfect symbol of a life dedicated to sport, the Reverso, which becomes a bejewelled and feminine evening watch at the flick of a wrist.

Having won the prestigious Global Champions Tour with her legendary horse Itot du Chateau in 2009 and 2011, Edwina still has many ambitions to fulfill in 2012 with the London Olympic Games on her radar and the 2012 Global Champions Tour season where Jaeger-LeCoultre will once again be the official timekeeper and partner.

Whether through the sports partnerships forged by Jaeger-LeCoultre in many countries or the agreement signed with the world's greatest show jumping competition, the Global Champions Tour, the long-established bonds uniting Jaeger-LeCoultre and equestrian sports are very strong.

The same key principles of nobility, speed, precision and perfect dexterity that grace Jaeger-LeCoultre watches have always been the inspiration for the rules of equestrian sports.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is proud to count Edwina Tops-Alexander among the brand’s aficionados.
