Time to quickly show some of my shots of an important addition to my collection. A watch that is well-known to this forum and has been in the possession by other members in the past.

I feel very honoured that I was given the opportunity to give a new home to this lovely vintage Reverso Seconde Centrale. I guess it all started at a GTG in Paris when I first saw this little marvel and somehow people remembered the sparkle in my eyes. So when there was a need to find a new home for it, I was asked if I could take good care of it and keep this watch within the community.

I do feel there is some hidden agenda to help me diversify my collection away from purely GP, but that's okay

I guess it also comes right in time for this weeks wristscan of the oldest watch in the collection.

Thanks to the community for giving me that opportunity.

Key Points from the Discussion

The acquired Reverso Seconde Centrale, dating from 1937, is significant as it marks the first year the dial was officially branded 'Jaeger LeCoultre'.
The author's collection remains predominantly Girad-Perregaux, but the opportunity to acquire this historic JLC Reverso was irresistible.
The vintage Reverso is described as a 'pure pleasure' to handle and play with, even for those who have experienced it through previous owners.
The acquisition of a vintage JLC Reverso is seen as a positive step towards diversifying a collection, even if it deviates from a primary brand focus.
Vintage JLCs, particularly Reversos, are considered a distinct and highly valued category within watch collecting.
The watch is confirmed to be from around 1937 or 1938, further emphasizing its vintage status.

Thanks, my friend

Diversity is still a bit of a strong word, GP is still the over-powering force in my collection and will be in the future But having the chance of getting this historic piece was impossible to resist. Don't understand your point about "GO"? Best, CC
