The only pics I'd ever seen of this Reverso had been rather small and only of the front so I'd assumed that the watch was wound conventionally by a series of bevelled gears and that the middle black line between the movement and the '6 position' was part of the winding mechanism. How wrong could I be!!

These large pics seem to reveal all but have left me wondering several things......how many times will you wind it before realising this method is extremely cumbersome, how many spare crowns come supplied with the watch....why did they decide to 'paint' the famous grooves on the case instead of the usual style and why couldn't they arrange the markings on the bezel so you have hour markers?

The hook was bated by the sheer uniqueness of the piece. The hook was then floated past me with the idea of such a limited series with no chance of any further "models" or iterations or editions. The hook was implanted today when I finally saw it in the m...

I was having a third look at it on Friday, It is highly tempting........ Or is there another one of the five pieces in circulation? Rgds Roger ...

The one I am considering is in HK until 8th and then it is being sent elsewhere so I have a time limit to decide!

I canonly imagine how spectacular this is, up close.
