SIHH 2017: Some Jaeger Lecoultre Novelties.
We already discovered the Three Duometres, The Spherotourbillon limited to 15 pieces, the Quantième Lunaire ( 60 pieces ) and the Chronographe ( 30 pieces ).
They both share a magnetite grey dial, a 42 mm rose gold case whose height is 14, 1 mm for the Spherotourbillon, 13, 6 mm for the Quantième Lunaire, and 13, 5 mm ( if my memory serves me well ) for the Chronographe.
For the record, the movements are the Cal 380 ( Chroongraphe ), Cal 381 ( Quantième Lunaire ) and 382 ( Spherotourbillon ).
For both of them, the gilt hands are made of gold plated, while the white hands are rhodium plated.
Now, some new Reversos:
The Reverso Tribute Duo comes, this year, in rose gold.
The case dimensions don't change: 42, 9 mm x 25, 5 mm x 9, 2 mm.
Cal 854A.
The Reverso Tribute Moon, after the Tribute Calendar from past year.
The case is generous: 49, 4 x 29, 9 x 10, 9 mm. In steel.
The movement is manual winding, Cal 853A. The picture will come later, as it was not available at the moment I wrote this presentation.
Reverso Classic Duo Small Second... In two sizes: Medium which is the same size than the Tribute Duo, and large, which is 47 x 28, 3 x 10, 3 mm.
Both are housing the Cal 854A, used in the Reverso Tribute Duo.
Here is the medium:
Since we are reviewing the Reverso novelties, let me show you the 2017 Atelier Reverso Collection.
This year, Jaeger Lecoultre played with the Reverso Classic Duo. Two sizes, medium ( 42, 9 x 25, 5 x 9, 2 mm ) or Large ( 47 x 28, 3 x 10, 3 mm ). 6 new dials:
Red:
Carbon Fiber:
Blue:
And three Stone dials:
Meteorite:
Marble Green:
And Tiger's eye:
The Rendez Vous line has already been discussed, some days ago.
The Night and Day:
The Moon:
And the Star, the Sonatina... I didn't have at the time I wrote the presentation a picture of the white gold version, so I post it right now:
The Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time is a surprise. A limited edition of 100 pieces. The case is in platinum, 43, 5 mm big, 11, 24 mm high.
The Tourbillon is flying, which means that no bridge covers it. AND it is an orbital tourbillon, which mens that it turns all around the dial.
Of course, as its name suggests, this is also a world time watch.
The movement is an automatic one, here, the Cal 948.
The Hybris Artistica Mysterieuse is the new opus from that exclusive line which counted 12 members... Till now.
In fact, there are two: A ladies version, limited in 3 pieces, one piece in each color ( white, blue and red ), and a men's model, limited to 5 pieces.
The Ladies version comes in a 39 mm ( 13, 2 mm high ) white gold case, and the Men's in a 42 mm ( 13, 8 mm high ) skeletonized rose gold case.
The hours on both versions are displayed by a flying AND orbital tourbillon, while the minutes can be read thanks to a ruby mounted on a rotating disc ( ladies version ) or a gold powder arrow, on a rotating disc for the men's version.
The dial of the men's version is playing with skeleton, aventurine and mother of pearl, while the ladies version is blending mother of pearl and snow set ivy leaves.
Both versions house the Cal 941, which is an automatic movement, beating at 28800 vibrations per hour and offering a power reserve of 50 hours.
That's all for the moment. It is useless to say that you'd better stay tuned for some live pictures to soon come!
Best,
Nicolas

I like Marble Green Reverso from what I can see from press pictures
Looking forward many live shots of all of them Cheers and give my best to the rest of the crew Damjan
I do believe you are the first to report JLC this year.
Hope you get the chance to go to some these parties that I imagine rival the Golden Globes. Being a geophyic lover myself, do you think it is a worthy addition to the line having now seeing this in the precious metal? Can't wait for the video reviews.
I like the Red and the Tiger's Eye on the Verso side!
Nice way to add a dash of colour
Thank you very much for your reporting Nicolas
the orbital tourbillon on the Geophysic Tourbillon is truely amazing...
I dont understand the JLC wt tourbillon...
As an orbital tourbillon, does that mean the entire dial including the city ring and outer 24hr ring revolves around the dial? What about the printed Jaeger-Lecoultre name at 12? Regards, skyeriding
Nice Nico ! JLC is on a roll!
i especially like the Artelier reversos having a medium size now and the new stone dials! The tiger eye and marble green are very cool! Cheers Robin
So what is the difference
Between the Reverso Classic Duo Small Second and the 2017 Atelier Reverso? Same size, same movement, same attractive and, yes, classic \'front\' dial with square sub-seconds register (I think)... So that would mean the only differences are the \'rear\' di...
Reversos!!!
I'm very interested to see the new Duos, even though I now have my dream Reverso (GRUT Duo)....the stone dials look great. Although I love tiger eye and have a lump of it beside my laptop I'd probably go for the meteorite. Interesting to see they have fin...
Re novelties
The Reverso Classic Duo are quite interesting with their different dial combos, especially the last ones, I think it will be interesting to see in the metal how the new dials look like. However, I find the case and dial work of the Hybris Artistica for me...
The marble green and tiger eye guys are really cool.
Nice little touch for the Reverso.
Hate to be a contrarian as I like this brand...
But the offerings in this thread don't seem as inspired as previous years? There are some nice ones in there and most are probably visually convincing in the metal but I'm probably still stuck in the immediate past when they introduced the tribute reverso...
Marble green????
sound interesting I love that color scheme, hope to see the live picture of it!
