Well, to avoid any confusion, this Reverso has been with me for 15 years. I got it in August 2007, it was released in 2002.

How to describe this watch? Formal and precious, it is, with its elegant ruthenium dial and its sensual floral numerals, made in silver powder. 



Without forgetting the rare rectangular case, made in Platinum and the movement plates and bridges in... White Gold. 


But this is a watch which can also be casual. 

The case is big, thick ( for its category ), and, due to the platinum, heavy. But it is not uncomfortable at all.


And let's remember that it was the first Jaeger Lecoultre to use THE 8 days power reserve movement. 


You know you have a special watch. 

15 years later, I still wear it with great pleasure, even if the " wrist moments " are rarer than with other watches. 



Long life to the Septantième. 

Best,

Nicolas

It also came in red ( or rose ? ) gold? 500 ex? Movement in massiv gold as the Reverso 60th?

But the movement in the rosegold septantieme is not White. Is it rose?

It seems that whatever you have chosen is always the crème de la crème. This one is no exception.
