Explore the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Platinum Tourbillon Number Two and Skeleton. Amanico shares why these limited edition GT case models remain coveted.

Each time I visit my hard disc and I fall on them, my hear beats faster. I am not a big fan of Tourbillons, since we see them almost everywhere, made by everyone ( or almost ). They lost a bit of their prestige and exclusivity, in my opinion. Still, there are some milestones, such as these 2 version

I am not a big fan of Tourbillons, since we see them almost everywhere, made by everyone ( or almost ). They lost a bit of their prestige and exclusivity, in my opinion.

Still, there are some milestones, such as these 2 versions.

Let's recall that the skeleton is a limited edition of 35 pieces, and that the platinum Nr 2 is limited to 500 pieces.

One, the Pt Nr 2 has been released in 2003, the Skeleton in 2004.

GT case for both. The " gold number " somehow. A summit of elegance.

Now, the skeleton integrates the Tourbillon in superb way. No hole in the dial, the tourbillon is part of the dial. While the Platinum Nr 2 offers a very interesting possibility to its owner: The choice to see the Tourbillon whenever he wants, as he just has to flip the case. And the recto ruthenium dial is so nice!

We often discuss the title of the finest Reverso... I think that these 2 are not far from to top of the list of contenders for such a title.

What do you think?

Best,

I'm with you on the GT case

Think the GT case perfect size for a Reverso. Small enough to be discreet and elegant, but big enough & with room to do lots of interesting things. The run of complicated Reversos in GT cases from the 60eme series onwards is just amazing. A really diverse & interesting watches - I only have a Duo, but there are so many more that appeal. Of the two I prefer the tourbillon - where just the owner gets to see & understand the complexity behind the dial. Discrete, elegant, refined yet with an interes

Hence my ever growing interest and affection for the new Reverso Tribute Duo. These proportions are hard to beat. [nt]

Ah, that skeleton piece is divine!

I usually don\'t like skeleton watches or say "divine". Look what you\'ve done to me, Amanico

You are a dangerous man!

Every time you do a post with photos - I add a watch of my dream list and my wife makes a move to reach for the phone to call a divorce lawyer. I will blame you if she ever makes that call
