Do you remember this Reverso, whose case was in white gold, and a superb grained dial?

It was released in 2012, and when we saw it, we fell under the charm.

We were quite many to dream about a more affordable version, in stainless steel, with the same dial.

Jaeger-Lecoultre did even better! They created a superb, yes, really superb stamped dial. It is hard to see it on my pictures, but the indexes are blue, like on this press release photo, a tad darker, though:

Here are the live pictures I took at the SIHH booth:

The indexes are galvanic blued, give a lot of depth to the dial, and are absolutely charming.

A macro of the dial, which will give you an idea of the depth generated by the indexes and the minutes ring:

Another angle, to try to catch the blue accent:

The case is in stainless steel version, with this now well known Reverso Ultra Thin volumes, which are 46, 8 mm x 27, 4 mm x 7, 3 mm thickness.

The movement is the Cal 822/2, which is manual wound, offering an autonomy of 45 hours, and beating at 21600 vibrations per hour.

I am pretty sure that it will be one of our Community stars, this year.

It is not a limited editon, but a Boutique Edition, and keep this information for you, but the batch will be very short.

The retail is slightly below 8 000 Euros.

Two last pictures, taken two months later:

No doubt that they will go fast, and that we'll see many here, on our Jaeger-Lecoultre forum.

Best,

Nicolas

Full of class

This one has it all. For me, the 46mm across doesn't fit too comfortably on my small wrist, and though I like this one a lot, and as you say, the blued indices is elegant and gives out so much character to the dial - I take consolation that my reverso GT isn't too shabby either and has the same movement :-) Very nice pictures! I have to say this one is even more beautiful in the metal and the color and depth of the dial and indices is very hard to capture on pictures.

Yes, a nigthmare to take in pictures. In the real, a marvel. [nt]

A Cult Classic, Or Just A...

... Classic. What a beautiful piece. I also love the "chocolate" dial JLC reissued a couple years back. Not a 'must have' per se, but definitely a 'must admire'. Sante'! - Scott

The Chocolate? It was released at the same time. 2014.

But this one, I must admit, impressed me even more! All the best, my friend. Nicolas
