UNDER the patronage of the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux, a team of three seasoned mountaineers, headed by the Swiss guide Stephane Schaffter, is on-site in Nepal and gearing up to take up an extreme challenge - the ascension of a mountain in the Himalayas that has never yet been trod by human feet.
Three exceptional timepieces made by the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre will be part of the adventure, starting with the famous 1958 Geophysic Chronometer and the Master Compressor Extreme Lab, which became an instant watch industry sensation when introduced in 2007.
