I wish I could do the dial justice!
Feb 19, 2023,18:21 PM
As beautiful as the Great Wave is and given its size the detail is exquisite, the dial is a wonder itself representing the waves in the bay. It is a wonderful execution using very old hand operated machines. The skill involved is beyond my understanding. The light catching the waves on the dial is very difficult to capture and is truly breathtaking on even the dullest day.
I am very interested in the artistic elements in watches. I find it difficult to distinguish the skills at JLC from the rare handicrafts watches and clocks at Patek which seem to be substantiallly more expensive.
Such handicrafts are a pleasure to my eyes and I think are best represented without complications. This Reverso is simply a wonder to behold.
Naturally I would be too embarrassed to admit “how much it might be going for.”
Thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments - I hope your watch journeys are similarly enjoyable to my own.

For nearly 20 years I have admired, studied and considered the Jaeger- LeCoultre Reverso family. Several times I got close to purchasing. Should I go simple, small, large, complicated? And then quite recently I found the answer. I hope you appreciate my j...

It’s definitely one of the most iconic watches out there. Thankfully they are not too crazily priced. I started mine quite a number of years ago when I purchased a pair of the Ceniceros Reversos which were widely documented here on the forum back then. Th...

When this came out I was able to see & handle one (sold) at the Bond Street boutique - simply the best Reverso enamel picture. Though I do like the earlier Mucha enamels. Thank you for showing.
What a beautiful piece
