After the wonderful London GTG - Reverso "Rio de Janeiro"

Nov 30, 2016,02:29 AM
 

Team,

It was waiting for me, the Reverso "Rio de Janeiro", Jaeger Lecoultre homage to the 85 years of the Christ The Redeemer.

Blue, the color of the sky and the sea



The wonderful engraving that captures the Christ and the beautiful Rio de Janeiro



About the watch, it continues JLC trend to make automatic Reversos.
Some may dislike this break of a tradition but I'm fine with this movement.

My sincere congratulations to the JLC Brazilian team for this great initiative.

Thanks for seeing.

Cheers,

Nilo

I'm not a religious persons, but that statue is emblematic. Cheers, Nilo

Lovely piece!

I\'m not a religious man so the engraving does nothing for me, but I appreciate the mastery. Emblematic of Rio! Thanks for sharing

Thank you very much ...

Same as me. Cheers, Nilo

Congratulations. A beautiful piece.

May you wear it in the best of health. And I am a sucker for blue dials, so this has double the appeal for me.

Thank you ...

I'm also addicted to blue dials. Cheers, Nilo

Dear amigo

It is surely nice to have Reverso with connection to your country as this let's see if there will be Croatian version available LOL!! Yours D

A symbol like this?

The iris? Cool! Cheers, Nilo ...  

Wow that would be something ;) [nt]

Very nice watch!

Part of the new collection, I take it? Really like the blue and the engraving on the back is certainly 'fitting' Is the strap your first modification or did it come on that already? In any case congratulations on this spectacular model!

The strap ...

 
 By: nilomis : November 30th, 2016-05:21
Is blue and is original for the model. FYI: For unknown reasons, I never change the straps of any Reverso. Cheers, Nilo

I like the blue of the dial

very nice hue of blue. Not too keen on a gazillion different Boutique versions, that can kill a Reference if too many. Interesting detail is the 24h display with the 24 at the bottom? Because Brazil is on the bottom of the Earth? CC

As a matter of fact ...

 
 By: nilomis : November 30th, 2016-05:23
I didn't understood the logic behind the 24 hours indicator. When I set the watch, I wind it a little bit and I was waiting for the hand on the sub dial to move, thinking that it was a running seconds. Then I notice that it was the 24 hours indicator! Che... 

Agreed Nicholas...

The ideal would've been to have it manual wound without the subdial. I am still waiting for a simple single faced blue to come on the market....

It was a fantastic piece...

 
 By: wisPete : November 30th, 2016-18:25
but I ultimately parted with it due to the thickness. Looking forward to see if there will ever be an ultrathin with a single laquered blue face

Not the most recent version, no...

 
 By: wisPete : December 1st, 2016-15:36
But I owned and loved the Duoface Bleu. I still miss that blue laquered dial very much.

Nice

 
 By: Esharp : November 30th, 2016-09:19
As others say, I don\'t need the subdial or the automatic or even the engraving; but the rest - v nice. That crown...is it me or is it larger and flatter than usual? Bit of a vintage vibe? Best E.

Welcome back home!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : November 30th, 2016-11:55
And what a beautiful return! Very suiting engraving. Q? What kind of strap is that? Best, my friend Blomman

Strap is textile and rubber...

 
 By: nilomis : December 3rd, 2016-10:08
Similar to one that's used by the latest Memovox Blue. Cool. Cheers, Nilo

I see. Thank you. [nt]

Really nice watch!!!

 
 By: Thebodyguard : November 30th, 2016-13:22
I like the Reverso but it a little bit small for me... but I solve this with a Squadra model. ...  

The Squadra... That was a spectacular attempt to give a sporty look to the Reverso.

 
 By: amanico : November 30th, 2016-13:25
Some loved, others didn't, but for sure a discussion watch. The apanage of strong models. Best, Nicolas

How did I miss this post Nilo?!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 27th, 2016-08:50
congrats !! This Rio version is stunning ! Is this a limited edition piece ? Do you know how many they made if so , and are these numbered or stated as LE on the watch ? Cheers Robin

The Reverso Rio is a limited edition ...

 
 By: nilomis : December 27th, 2016-09:16
If I remember, to 85 pieces. Cheers, Nilo

Thanks Nilo!
