As you may recall, with a post from last weekend, I reflected on adding to my small watch collection, with Breguet, VC, Cartier, and JLC on the short list. I flirted with a Breguet Classique (2010) and a VC Malte (2006) during the past days (on-line, pre-owned watches), but I came home with a new JLC Reverso Tribute Duoface. The dial, the strap (and I have a black alligator one on order), the manual wind movement, and overall fit and presentation on the wrist won me over. I was actually quite surprised to even see one last weekend at a local AD.

I think duo-face is mandatory with Reversos...

...it's a feature that nobody else really does very often, and it makes the watch so much more interesting imho...

Would you say that a Reverso needs clockwork on both front and rear to be considered a duo-face?

Or would engraving, or other decoration on the reverse, qualify as duo-face? It's a question I grappled with in seeking my first Reverso.

I would like to see two faces...

...maybe a day face and a night face. One light one dark. Endless possibilities.

You made the right choice!

This model is a bit too big for my wrist but it's beautiful, JLC won't let you down!
