Cool, sporty, elegant and original: Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Gran Sport Chronograph.
I still don't understand why I didn't get one. It is not only very pleasant to look at, it is also a pure piece of horology, with its in house manual winding Chronograph, and it is a retrograde one! One day! Best, Nicolas ...
