Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Red Dials: Tribute Collection

Key Points from the Discussion

• The 2019 Tribute Small Seconds Burgundy Steel is often favored for its dynamic hands and markers, which are perceived as more contemporary than the flatter hands of the 2012 TT Reverso. Its dial color is also described as richer and deeper.
• While the 2019 Burgundy Steel offers a modern appeal, the 2012 TT Reverso is highly regarded for its strong vintage charm, particularly its hands and the 'Reverso' wording on the dial.
• The rose gold case paired with a red dial, particularly on the Duoface model, creates a very satisfying and elegant combination for some collectors, who also appreciate the slightly smaller subdial.
• The 'chemin de fer' (railroad track minute scale) on the 2012 TT1931 is noted for appearing unpainted, adding to its vintage authenticity compared to the other models.
• Some collectors express a desire for a hypothetical combination: the 2019 Burgundy dial in a steel case, but with the more expressive hands of the 2012 model.
• Preference for sword hands on a Reverso leads some to favor the Tribute models over others.
