Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Triptyque. Just a picture before the review.

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-01:40
I asked to see the Reverso Triptyque when I was at the manufacture, with the idea of writing a review. I will end it in one or two months, but I wanted to share this picture with you. There is so much to say on that one. Best, Nicolas ...  

Quite a remarkable piece.

Looking forward to your review. M4

I can only tell you it is the biggest Reverso ( and most probably Jaeger Lecoultre wrist watch ) ever made, and one of the most complicated one. Thanks, M4. [nt]

It sort of looks like having "War and Peace" on a strap.

 
 By: M4 : March 29th, 2019-02:15
But what a tour de force of timepiece greatness! M4

And you didn't see the third dial! ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-03:07

This picture made my day! Thanks Nico! Best, É. [nt]

 
 By: eklektik : March 29th, 2019-02:32

My big pleasure, E. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-03:07

Can’t wait for the review, and mostly curious about how you wind and set the third dial ... [nt]

Thanks, ZSHSZ. [nt]

 By: myles721 : March 29th, 2019-04:08

Yes, only one movement. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-04:34

Only one movement? [nt]

 
 By: Paolo68 : March 29th, 2019-05:38

Yes, Sir. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-06:24

Incredible! [nt]

 
 By: Paolo68 : March 29th, 2019-12:48

Yes, it is... An horological UFO. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-14:45

This is the crazy, magic and unique thing about this watch! Can't wait to read the review! I really would like to see it one day! Best, É. [nt]

 
 By: eklektik : March 29th, 2019-10:25

If you have the opportunity to visit the Manufacture, it will be easy to do. If not, well, during an exhibition, maybe? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-11:44

What a spectacular piece! I never really appreciated this reference until I joined this group [nt]

 
 By: aperna : March 29th, 2019-04:44

Thanks for your kind words, Tony. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-04:58

Wow, what a marvel 🙏

 
 By: JLCman : March 29th, 2019-05:47
Cannot wait to see further photos, my friend, and read your review 👍🏻

Thanks, JLCman. I still have to end the review on the Gyro 5... After, we'll see. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-06:24

LOVE it!!!

 
 By: watchme : March 29th, 2019-09:09
Thinnest QP module ever made. I, personally, thought JLC might open up the 3rd dial to other models. We'll see. The question is, have all 75 been delivered? -Dean

All gone from the Manufacture, yes. They only have a few White Gold pieces still available, I think. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-10:02

Innovative and superbly made [nt]

 
 By: Watchlover78 : March 29th, 2019-09:47

Thanks for looking, Watchlover. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-10:02

What a masterpiece!

 
 By: Spencer Karrington : March 29th, 2019-10:11
This is definitely one of my favorite Jeager, and watches in general, ever made! It is so complicated but yet elegant. It is similar to how those puzzle desks in which you open a draw and a marvel is shown. I love it. Thank you very much for your photo. I... 

I will try to do my best. Thanks, Spencer. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 29th, 2019-11:43

For your viewing pleasure - some shots of mind before it headed back to HQ for a full overhaul and EOT cam change (with new City plate).

 
 By: Conkers : March 30th, 2019-23:42
...  

Wow, Roger! Breathtaking! Thank you, my friend, for these rare wrist shots. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 30th, 2019-23:50

A couple more post the refurb including my customary Bloomberg keyboard shot. Great watch!

 
 By: Conkers : March 31st, 2019-00:09
...  

You have the wrist for that watch!!! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 31st, 2019-00:11

Thanks my friend. My wrist is 7.25” so it is ok but the big problem is the height of the watch. Basically only fits under double cuff shirts with chain cuff links. The hidden costs of a bad watch habit - new wardrobe required! [nt]

 
 By: Conkers : March 31st, 2019-00:16

I tried it several times at the Manufacture, I was wondering how you could put it under sleeve... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 31st, 2019-00:27

Amazing watch, Conkers

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 8th, 2019-23:29
Thanks Christian

Very nice Conkers! Thanks for sharing!! Glad to see such a watch with fingerprints on it :) best, É. [nt]

A Beast...

... For sure... A Masterpiece? Absolutely! - Scott ...  

The " smiling perpetual calendar ". ;p Nice picture, my friend, and yes, a milestone. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : April 1st, 2019-23:12

How do you wind the base with the date and moon phase functions? [nt]

 
 By: Thomas_3 : April 5th, 2019-21:56

There is the transmission system between the movement and the mechanism of the perpetual calendar in the carriage. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : April 5th, 2019-23:30

Would you have some drawings or sketches presenting that? What a mechanical achievement! Is it the only Reverso like that? Best, É. [nt]

 
 By: eklektik : April 7th, 2019-05:50

Yes, this is the only Reverso like that. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : April 7th, 2019-06:28

Yes there is a small piston on the centre case which activated the perpetual calendar once a day. Therefore is the case is left open the calendar does not advance. [nt]

 
 By: Conkers : April 7th, 2019-18:16

Sorry typo “if the case is left open......” [nt]

 
 By: Conkers : April 7th, 2019-18:17

Magic! Thanks a lot for this clarification! So it is a watch combined with an automaton. I love it! Best, É. [nt]

 
 By: eklektik : April 8th, 2019-01:12

Pleasure. Great piece - do try and seek it out. [nt]
