ED209 provides an exclusive look into Jaeger-LeCoultre's SIHH 2016 event at the Beverly Hills Boutique, hosted by Phillipe Bonay. This post highlights new releases, particularly focusing on the Reverso's 85th anniversary collection and other significant complications, offering collectors a detailed first impression.

PuristSPro joined Phillipe Bonay and the wonderful Jaeger LeCoultre Beverly Hills Boutique staff for an intimate dinner hosted at Mastro's Steakhouse to view the latest timepieces from SIHH 2016. I'd like to share a few pictures and will post more detail pictures in part 2.

The iconic Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso watch celebrates its 85th birthday and a wide range of Reverso's were on display. The two watches that I enjoyed most is the Reverso Tribute Calendar and the ladies Reverso One Cordonnet.

From the Duometre collection, we have the Duometre Quantieme Lunaire in white gold which was displayed with two versions of the Master Ultra Thin Perpetuals.

I'm a huge fan of perpetual calendars and I really liked the dial layout and proportions of the Master Ultra Thin Perpetual.

My fellow PuristSPro JLC Moderator Nicolas recently just posted a very detailed article with some fantastic pictures of the Reverso Tribute Calendar, and it was one of the favorite watches during the event. The grained dial side with the long thin and applied faceted indexes and moon phase was stunning to see in person.

And hobnail verso dial side with a second time zone and day/night indicator.

Part 2 pictures are now posted below!

The Duometre Quantieme Lunaire in white gold and various Master Ultra Thin Perpetuals were also prominently displayed, appealing to fans of complex movements.
The grained dial, faceted indexes, and moon phase of the Reverso Tribute Calendar were particularly stunning in person, with the hobnail verso dial offering a second time zone.
A participant notes that the platinum Geophysic was personally more compelling than the new Reverso models, indicating diverse preferences among collectors.

Thanks DRMW, I know you're a fan of triple date moon phase watches, and even though it's large I think you'll really like the Reverso Tribute Calendar. Regards, ED-209
