My first ever Reverso (well not quite!!)

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-08:07
I have always told myself that when I ever do buy a Jaeger-Le Coultre, it would have to be the iconic Reverso. Tonight, I bought a Reverso but as you can see, it was not quite for me but for the love of my life. I am glad she chose this model because I wa...  

Congratulation for both of you. That is a beautiful woman's reverso.

Speaking as a man, it is more beautiful than a ring (but ladies may think different ). Now all you have to do is get a Reverso tribute to 1931 black dial. That would make a killer couple watch

Thank you for the great idea!

I am actually waiting for the 90th anniversary of the Reverso in 2021 and hope they will release a watch that I will be keen on!

Congratulatons!

You have done well with this beautiful watch. I can feel your elation and I wish you both many more watches and happiness together.

Thanks so much for your reply!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-08:22
Yes I am over the moon even though the watch is my partner's. Somehow seeing her so happy is all that matters.

Thank you very much Bill!

I have seldom been so excited buying a watch. Yes the watch may be a quartz, yes it was not even for me but I guess as the old saying goes, giving is better than receiving!

Great gesture, my friend. And great watch!

Here are some superb variations... And the Cordonet! ...  

Thank you Nico!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-08:30
I actually love the last two!! I have not seen it on the website so I guess they too have been discontinued. Actually I like the Re Edition because of its simplicity and the fact that it does not have any diamonds! I always feel that a ladies watch should... 

Thanks Nico! [nt]

Thank you Ted for your reply

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-08:31
I could not agree with you more!

Right on!! [nt]

And what a meal to follow!

 
 By: sham1 : August 23rd, 2020-06:30
All home cooked by the owner of the Reverso!! ...  

Your French was appropriate

 
 By: sham1 : August 23rd, 2020-06:44
because amazingly it tasted even better than it looked!!

woohoo! [nt]

 
 By: K-Lo : August 23rd, 2020-06:47

Bravo! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : August 23rd, 2020-06:49

I am so blessed Nico! :-)

 
 By: sham1 : August 23rd, 2020-07:02
Thank you.

Great advice!

 
 By: sham1 : August 23rd, 2020-07:07
I am feeding the relationship and also being fed big time!

Congratulations!!! [nt]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story Sham, a wonderful gesture and a most meaningful present for an important person!πŸ‘πŸ₯‚

 
 By: FabR : August 22nd, 2020-09:41
PS: I agree it’s totally crazy that traveling to buy a watch for our partners is not considered both business and educational!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜Ž

Ha! Ha!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-09:56
We think alike my friend and thank you for the kind words too!

Thank you Patrick!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-09:55
I feel a bit guilty to say this but 2020 has been one of the best years in my life so far.

And I certainly hope

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-17:09
that you were one of the lucky ones Patrick! I have not dabbled in the stock market for over 25 years but have been dabbling in the riskier game of love!

Congratulations on your engagement, Sham!

 
 By: jleno : August 22nd, 2020-10:14
And a terrific choice for your fiance! I'm a big fan of JLC's ladies pieces as well, hoping to get one for my girl one day....when the time is right

Thank you very much for the congratulatory wish!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-16:48
I am sure you will choose a lovely piece for your girl. I am not sure if you were referring to your girlfriend or daughter but she is one lucky girl too!

I am rooting for your my friend!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-18:51
Wishing you many years of happiness together.

Huge congrats to you both my friend.

Excellent gift , i am also looking to get my Boss a Reverso one day , i know she likes the burgundy boutique edition a lot and fun fact is that it looks great on my wrist too πŸ˜‰ Hope your loved one is happy with your amazing and generous gift . Wish you bo...  

Thank you very much my friend!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-17:11
And you are right - it looks great on your wrist!! As Nico said, the watch has your name written on it. Ooops, I forgot, your wife's name written on it!

Big congratulations on meeting someone!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : August 22nd, 2020-18:14
If there is a story of how you met which you would like to share, I'm happy to hear it. The watch, of course, is lovely and she will think of you whenever happens to glance down at her wrist.

Thank you!!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-18:53
I sure hope that she wears the watch often! There is a tendency for her to treasure the gift and only wear the watch sparingly.

Big congrats on your engagement, my friend!

Thank you so much Richard!

 
 By: sham1 : August 22nd, 2020-20:33
A special year for me indeed! I feel so blessed.

Thank you very much for your kind words!

 
 By: sham1 : August 24th, 2020-08:33
I have a strange feeling that this watch is going to be a keeper! (I hope so anyway)

Reverso make great gifts!

This was bestowed to my niece on her graduating with a Ph.D. Congrats on the union. ...  

Thank you Fernando!

 
 By: sham1 : August 25th, 2020-07:43
That is one of the loveliest dials I have ever seen on a Reverso. The numerals are bewitching!

Thank you for your kind remarks!

 
 By: sham1 : September 2nd, 2020-07:41
It would have been the perfect ladies watch if it was manual winding but perhaps women prefer quartz anyway!
