Subexplorer's acquisition of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Rosso transcends a simple watch purchase, becoming a vibrant travelogue through Italy and France. His post beautifully captures the emotional connection collectors forge with their timepieces, especially when intertwined with significant life experiences and personal connections. This article highlights how a watch can be a companion, a souvenir, and a catalyst for unforgettable memories.
... Viewing the great review and photographs of Nicolas just a few weeks ago, just add fire to my desire to get my own Red dial reverso.
I had reserved (and paid in full) for the watch last February with the help of my niece residing in Milano. I was going to pick up my watch during a trip to Italy, which I could finally do a couple of weeks ago.
My wife and me arrived to Milano airport after almost 24 hours of travel (with a stop and change of plane at Paris), and my niece and her husband were waiting for me to take me in their car to the Milano JLC Boutique to take delivery of my watch. I was so tired... but my desire to get the watch was stronger!
Some pictures were made at some well known places of this Italian city:
The Duomo...
and the Gallery Vittorio Emanuelle II...
Dear niece Laura and husband Gigi, with little cute son Francesco took us to the Ligure coast for an unforgettable week end. Some pictures with my new watch were a must!
Here, at Portofino...
Beautiful Portofino...
And no less fabulous Santa Margherita de Ligure...
Our short visit to Italy came to an end, so we took our plane to Paris...
Where I had the great pleasure to meet my friend Nicolas, and had the privilege to view a nice sample of his collection, during an unforgettable meeting.
Muchas gracias mi amigo Nicolas!! Ha sido muy grato para mi conocerte!
Paris is always a great scenario for phtographs, and I couldn´t resist to take some of my red dial Reverso, while walking through the city.
The classic roofs of Paris...
Bound to the Eiffel Tower aboard an unusual (for this city) means of transport...
We finally arrived...
Of course I couldn´t resist to take a snapshot at the Reverso!...
Well, with many nice memories in our minds and hearts, and some unforgettable experiences lived, we returned home, with my Red Reverso on my wrist.
Thank you for your patience to read friends!
Best cordial regards, Abel.
