A watch you won't see quite often, celebrating 25 years of history on each dial
Feb 04, 2007,06:10 AM - (view entire thread)
Dear crazymates,

I should not really qualify as rare a watch that I’ve seen twice in the same year, as I’ve had a Rolex Sub only once in my hands in 2006.

Still this watch is not a common bird and you probably won’t see it often.

We won’t get very technical yet as our encounters have been fast. Hopefully I’ll get deeper access later on to bring you more.

Reverso Grande Complication a triptyque, the best is hidden inside


This model is already in the last issued JLC catalog so you already know much about it.

Slip it and you get the universe in front of you, where on the left, when on the right


Don’t ask me about zodiacal symbols, this time doesn’t exist in my dimension


I know you’ll get better pics in the catalog


But you won’t get my wrist in the catalog


Yes it’s a watch for real men


There’s probably not much room left inside


The dial is quite clean and nice looking IMO


The size is IMO the only negative aspect of the watch. If you can stand the size it’s a lot of content here. But still I could wear a Gyrotourbillon I would not wear this one. It seems that sometimes technical aspects put the styling to the boundaries.

Don’t worry it’s big but Joel Cordier is not playing with a real scale model here


Let’s have a look at the “isometer escapement”


All these models are prototypes so we are not looking for top notch finish here, but just for technical bits that may help us forget the size.

Please ask questions but don’t hope for immediate answers because I still have to talk to the creators (specially for yours questions Tim).

You’ve already seen that in all magazines


One of the most expensive seconds hand in the world


Very exclusive pic of the keyless works


This escapement is free-sprung and you can see the square regulating screws here on the balance wheel


They now have four different tourbillon base movements in the range


The first JLC tourbillon with a flat balance spring


I hope you enjoyed the pics. As this watch should be getting closer to production now we may hopefully get a deeper access soon.
