Jaeger-LeCoultre and Leonardo DiCaprio have joined forces to confront global environmental issues.  In the Fall 2008, the venerable Swiss watch manufacturer will offer two exceptional timepieces for sale via its "Time to Care" initiative; one hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund at the California Community Foundation, benefiting the work of this organization with environmental programs around the world.  These varied groups include the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Global Green USA, and focus is on a range of topics including the halting of global climate change, the development of alternative energy sources, and preserving Earth's biodiversity. The Jaeger-LeCoultre watches which will be offered for sale represent some of the most cutting-edge horological technology ever manufactured.  A Master Compressor Extreme LAB watch worn by Leonardo DiCaprio to the premiere showing of his global warming documentary, "The 11th Hour"....
