Amanico showcases his Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Platinum Number Two from 2004. Explore its design, hidden tourbillon, and community insights on its enduring appeal.

Amanico shares two exceptional photographs of his former Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Platinum Number Two, taken at the JLC Manufacture. His post reflects on the watch's class, beauty, and refinement, expressing regret over selling what he considers one of his biggest horological mistakes. The community engages with the watch's design, its hidden tourbillon, and the broader appeal of vintage Reverso models.

Most probably the best two shots I took of this watch, at the Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture during our last visit, in June.

This watch, issued in 2004, has everything to please: Class, beauty and refinement. One of my biggest horological mistake was to sell it...

We are not too far from perfection, here.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

A contributor expresses a preference for tourbillons that are subtly integrated into the dial rather than overtly displayed, appreciating the Reverso Platinum Number Two's understated elegance.
The grey dial with polished numbers is highlighted as a 'killer' feature, though a concern is raised about the Reverso's size and potential bulk for an elegant watch.
The original poster notes his surprise at JLC releasing such a piece in 2003/2004, indicating its forward-thinking design for its time.
The watch's movement is praised as an 'absolute gem,' validating the original poster's regret over selling it.
A contributor expresses a desire for more appealing offerings in the current Reverso catalog, suggesting that many beautiful models are no longer available and prices have significantly increased.

Very nice :) always prefer a tourbillon when it's through a hole in the dial

You don't always have to shout about how great you are! Cheers JML

This is a lovely watch

I just commented another JLC post saying basically that I miss more appealing offerings in the Reverso catalog. IMHO, lots of beautiful models are gone, and prices have gone up very significantly.
