Afternoon,

This question has probably been asked a hundred times before I just can not find it. Could someone tell me the best places to look at to organise a tour of the factory's of the various swiss watch makes. Jaeger Le-Coultre is on top of my list as I own one and Dad owns three so it would be a great start but other ideas would be greatly appreciated. It is my fathers 61st birthday and as he introduced me to watches over 10years ago it is my way of saying thank you. All help or ideas is greatly appreciated.

Cheers Matt

In that area, near JLC a lot of the Swiss watchmakers reside. However, they're a little weird to deal with. I think your best bet is calling them and see if they accept factory tours. To my knowledge, JLC only gives tours by appointment and your best bet is the phone as email & faxes usually get no response.
