Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute René Magritte

Key Points from the Discussion

• The watch is a Reverso Classic Large (Q3828420) with an automatic movement 822/2, featuring subtle changes like blue indexes and strap to match the background of the lacquered painting.
• The lacquered painting on the reverse is 'L’Oiseau du Ciel – The Skybird,' originally commissioned by the defunct Belgian Airline Company, Sabena.
• The limited edition consists of 15 pieces in steel and 5 in gold for the first series, with two subsequent series planned, all bearing the same number for collectors acquiring the full set.
• The idea behind the watch is highly praised for its uniqueness, offering a piece unlikely to be seen on anyone else's wrist.
• Achieving a sense of perspective with lacquer for the subsequent series is proving to be a significant challenge, with initial projects for the second series involving a mix of engraving and lacquer still being refined.
• Another collector shares images of a later series of the Magritte Reverso, noting 33 pieces in stainless steel, all sold, with delivery expected around May to June.
• While appreciating the artistry, one collector found the watch too small for their preference, highlighting that size can be a personal barrier even for a 'great piece of art.'
