Amanico provides an exclusive first look at Jaeger-LeCoultre's new releases from SIHH 2012, offering a comprehensive overview of the collection. This article highlights JLC's commitment to classicism, revisiting iconic models like the Master Control and Reverso, while also introducing exciting novelties such as the Reverso Triple Date and the Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon. Readers will discover the brand's focus on reasonably sized watches and the continued prominence of the Reverso line.

I decided this year to show you the new releases we'll have the pleasure to see in Geneva, at the SIHH.

Here, you will only see the official pictures, and, of course, we'll see all those new watches, one by done, in a more detailled and dedicated article.

GENERAL THOUGHTS:

As often, with Jaeger-Lecoultre, several ways have been explored.

- The return of a certain classicism, with some famous models revisited, such as the all new Master Control, Master Reserve de Marche ( RDM ), Reversos ( Red Dial, White Dial, Small Seconds ), and a superb Reverso Skeleton surrounded by a sublime blue enamel.

- The birth of some new watches, such as a superb Reverso Triple Date, strongly linked to the Past of the Grande Maison, or the Deep Sea Vintage Chonograph, 2 Subdials, or the new Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon.

- Some less affordable models, and here, how to keep under silence the Duomètre à Spherotourbillon?

One more time, Jaeger-Lecoultre show their interest for reasonnably sized watches, with a new case, on the Master Control, and to develop their models on the superb ultra thin case.

The Reversos still seem to be the stars, this year, with the unveil of many tempting iterations.

Calendar. Does this have a transparent case back? Also, will a version be offered in SS? This model immediately tugs for my attention. The Reverson Skeleton also looks interesting. I did 'guess' the Duometre Tourbillon in a post a few weeks ago.

the worst fear came alive! Jost joking,i am releived as its quite unaffordable,but what a watch!CAn t wait to see more. Blue Reverso skeleton is very nice but I fear its going to be unreasonable like the other blue enamel. Nice effort with the MUT tourbi,and nice triple date Reverso. I am happy with it,,,need time to digest.... Thank you for your punctuality Nico Mo
