Explore the Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale in white gold. Christianch reviews this rare, automatic, boutique-only JLC reference.

Christianch's personal reflection on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale offers a unique perspective on a less commonly seen reference. His insights into its automatic movement and boutique-only availability highlight why this particular Reverso stands out, even within an extensive collection. This article explores the nuances of a watch that challenges traditional Reverso expectations while maintaining its distinct appeal.

Since I saw the announcement I was in love with the Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale. I bought 6 years ago and due to a too extensive collection I didn't wear it as much but I plan to wear it more now that it left the safe!

Among the Grande Reverso re-editions this was the only one with an automatic movement and centre seconds. I know that to some a reverso has to be manual wind, but for me this is just very special.

It was made in white gold only so perhaps is not often seen. It was also a boutique only edition.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale features a dial design considered by many to be superior among all Tribute Reversos, despite some purists' preference for manual-wind movements in the Reverso line.
This specific reference was produced in limited quantities, exclusively in white gold, and was a boutique-only edition, making it a rare sight in the secondary market.
The author notes that the automatic movement, while unconventional for some Reverso enthusiasts, offers a practical advantage over certain manual-wind watches that can be unpleasant to wind daily.

Love it

To me this is *by far* the best dial of any of the Tribute Reversos. Have to admit I'm not keen on an automatic movement in a Reverso, but I'd get over it for this one.

thank you, the dial is really a classic yet different for a reverso. Automatic a plus for me :)

thank you, automatic makes it easier to wear (if I only I had 1$ for every manual winding watch that was a pain to wind..)

🤣 So true

I only have the 976 which is manual and I know the pain of remembering to wind
