Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Chronographe Retrograde Rose Gold. A picture as an announce.
At the Manufacture, I asked the Heritage Gallery to put the whole series aside, for a photo session of the 6 Reverso Rose gold made between 1991 and 2000, in the perspective of a retrospective article about them.
They kindly accepted.
The article is in works, but the pleasure is already here, summed by this picture.
This series is incredible. Let me first close all the topics I have to post, and then, I will come back to this fantastic Saga.
Best,
Nicolas

Can't disagree the whole series is great
In an ideal world I'd like the complete set. In the real world I work for the government, so we both know the probability of that happening! Cheers JML
Great piece
I saw this in the metal and is really stunning. One of the few cronos with a square caliber. I read the history somewhere and it was not easy to create. Part of the 500 series of beautiful watches. Great watch to wear, rarely seen and with great understat...

Brilliant! I look forward to your article. This amuse bouche is tasty! Best, respo
The GT series was amazing...
from the rose gold movement plates and bridges to the double-sided complications which paved the way for the Duoface, one of JLC's longest-running hits. The tourbillon was amazing, the repeater with non-circular gongs was unbelievable because the sonority...
There were 5 Reverso GT in platinum: The Sun Moon, the Reserve de Marche, the Platinum Nr One, Nr Two, and the Tourbillon Skeleton. But you are right, the XGT won,
As for the Gran Sport Chrono, it was expensive to produce, but also to buy! I heard the same rumor about the fact that JLC lost money on it. I even think it is because of " him " than the Reverso à Chronograph in rose gold never overcame the " success of ...
Very unique watch, hard to believe this is from the mid 1990s
When you consider the mechanical watch landscape in 1996, this must have been a truly exceptional watch at the time. In house chronograph movements were rare and this one is a one-off configuration, featuring a retrograde minutes counter and a layout that...
That was and still is a great watch. In house manual winding chronos are rare, even more when they are retrograde AD rectangular shaped. Unique, I even think. As for the Gran Sport cousin,
We'll discuss that... It will be a very interesting / passionate discussion. Thanks, JmpTT. All the best, Nicolas
Let's see...
Is it 60eme, Tourbillon, Répétition Minutes, Chronographe Rétrograde, Géographique, and Calendrier Perpétuel?
