I'll be on the lookout for one . . .

My blast from the past (an almost 80 years old lady) - Hamilton "Otis" Reverso

 
By: Alkiro1 : October 13th, 2016-14:25
When I discovered this Hamilton "Otis" few years ago, it was a true surprise, for me, for that... This Hamilton is a true "Reverso" as they made (with the LeCoultre agreement), between 1938 and 1941, only for the American market (they were not allowed to ...

I hope you will find one (I have a preference for the one with the black dial as you saw).

They are not so rare but that\'s not so easy to find one in good condition and, more importantly, without any engraving on the back side. Best wishes Alkiro

Very cool piece :)

Those license agreements are a fascinating feature of any business and the result is certainly charming - adding variety and spice - for the Reverso collector who has it all!

Absolutely my friend ;-)

At least this one is not too hard to find. As I told to Art, the main problem is to find one without any engraving on the back. Best wishes Alkiro

Such a nice watch from the past

Lovely watch! My first generation Reverso with Tavannes movement inside says hello! Best Blomman ...  

The background is a postcard of the manufacture....

Thank you, my friend. The background is a postcard of the manufacture. Unfortunately there is no year on the card. Best Blomman ...  

Hats a beauty, Alkiro

And thanks for posting the catalog photos too. You have saved me a bit of time digging around on the internet to find out more. I am smitten with the watch. I WANT ONE TOO

Thank you for your kind words Sir. Really cool if I convinced at least one Purist with this watch :-)

I particularly love one thing about this watch: When someone looks at your wrist and tells you that your Jaeger Reverso is really nice. Then, you can develop and explain the full story ;-) I hope you will find one quickly. The main problem IMHO is to find... 

Thanks, Alkiro

Will do some digging around after work today. Yes, I can see why everyone thinks it\'s Reverso. They are definitely twins

Thanks

You have reinvigorated my interest in a Corum coin watch also! You are dangerous man, Alkiro! ;-) Have a great weekend also
