Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Rainbow Collection

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Burgundy Reverso features curved lugs that hug the wrist more and indexes with a unique sloping design, giving it a more modern and blingy feel compared to the Rouge's thinner, straight lugs and flat indexes.
• Rare Reverso variations exist, including a New York edition with a Statue of Liberty engraving and a proposed, but never made, version with a subway map, highlighting unique regional releases.
• The yellow King Rama IX Thailand Reverso is extremely distinctive and rare, with only 39 pieces made, making it very difficult to find.
• The journey of completing the collection involved many 'firsts' for the author, including auction wins, personal engravings, and navigating challenges like potential scams and shipping insurance issues.
• The Bangkok yellow and London green Reversos were the hardest to acquire, while the burgundy model holds significant personal meaning as the author's son's birth year watch with a special engraving.
