Nicolas (amanico) uncovers a fascinating and rarely seen Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso à Eclipse Erotica, a unique piece that challenges the notion of having seen all variations of this distinctive Reverso model. His discovery highlights the continuous learning journey in horology and introduces readers to a highly specialized and discreet facet of JLC's bespoke capabilities. This piece, made in 2006, exemplifies the brand's willingness to cater to unique client requests, pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking with an artistic and provocative twist.

There is one thing I learned during my horological journey: You learn almost everyday.

I thought I have seen all the Reverso à Eclipse, and yesterday, I discovered a new one the " Erotica ", which is, most probably, a special order. 

What is a Reverso à Eclipse? This is a Reverso with a XGT case ( very big case, such as the one of the Reverso Septantième / Reverso Grande Sun Moon / Reverso Grande Date ), with a " curtain " you open and close through a scroll wheel, to see or hide the dial. 

Here it is:

Made in 2006. 

Best,

Nicolas

I was just in the Sydney boutique today, and was chatting with the boutique manager about this piece at length. We even googled pictures of the series which has a Van Gogh and Karma Sutra version, Basically, I missed the opportunity to get one of the series 10 years ago. I could not afford it. I recalled it was Port of Singapore. I miss this series. It is so discretely beautiful.

Not sure about the picture though. One doesn’t want to be reminded of one’s shortcomings when checking the time. Regards Kev.

I never understood them. Always found them interesting. I asked myself if I would ever wear such a watch ? And I have no answer for it. I guess as long as I am virile why not
