I like these numerals (they are used on at least one other Reverso, if I recall correctly), but I would prefer to have the power reserve on the verso.

For almost any watch, I prefer power reserve on the verso, but especially for Reversos where you can't really argue about the inconvenience of viewing it. Exception to "almost any watch": Breguet Tradition with the engraved power reserve.

One of the marvels from a not so distant Past: 2003, 500 pieces. Beautiful from the Recto... To the Verso: Best, Nicolas ...  

Have not seen this one...

...very beautiful. JLC uses some beautiful numerals when they put their minds to it...

Gorgeous.

This was kind of the 'golden period' for Reverso.... Thanks for the pictures! Cheers, Filip

I love the tourbillon decently shown on the verso side only .-)

Re silver powder numerals, do they visibly oxidise? Thank-you for showing this beauty, Nico! petr

Aspect ratio

Does this one have a more square aspect ratio? Or is that just distortion from small iPhone display. Regardless, it’s a very nice version thanks for sharing

Beautiful piece

I like how the power reserve hand is on the same axis as the hour and minute, it’s a relatively unique look. I did not know the numerals were made from powdered silver, thanks for the interesting tidbit and thanks for sharing! Chris

Mon plaisir, Leopold.

Yes, PR on the back side might have been better

 
 By: takman : January 25th, 2022-22:29
But this way it makes for a more unique display

Yes, on the back side...

I would wear this one on the verso side quite often!

I did exactly that. ;)

Pleasure, my friend.

The verso is amazing!

I wish the reserve de marche were at the verso, and a square minute dial. As said above, what an era that was!! Great reminder! Best, E.

These pictures with the factory strap

I have been playing with a new strap color on mine recently and thinking I like it, but seeing the navy factory strap on reminds me of the real mccoy.

In white gold!
