It's always wonderful to see how others have personalised their Reverso. I love what you have done here. It strikes me as so elegant and meaningful. Congratulations on a lovely timepiece, a wonderful unique secret on the reverse, and a healthy and peaceful retirement.

Enamelling a Reverso - a story
By: Gus7 : March 3rd, 2022-06:14
Last year I was planning my retirement. I had moved from my home in Scotland to Hong Kong some years previously with a mission of opening and establishing our company’s office here in Hong Kong and thereafter also in Shanghai. These years have been a mix ...
Great work and a great story...

...I know what it's like to live in a very foreign city and fall in love with it, the people, and the culture. The watch looks fantastic : )

thank you! I did in fact retire last year and am now happily enjoying my retirement. I'm pleased to be able to do so at an age where I hope I shall continue to find ways of being active whether physically or intellectually!
Brilliant.

I really like what you did. We know all the possibilities with drawings and monograms, but this is another way of making the Reverso your own. Well done! GEO

I love these kind of stories. I love the burgundy reverso. Mostly though, i love engravings. Congratulations!
I am truly impressed.

Both by the result and by JLC‘s generosity! I didn’t think this kind of behavior is still possible today, even less from a brand belonging to a public MNC like Richemont. Kudos to JLC, and huge congrats to you Gus for a truly personal piece of art.
Very good watch

Definitely want one as my graduation present.
This is a wonderful Purist's story, Gus!

The engraving looks amazing and the gesture of JLC Hong Kong is ... truly impressing. I think you will never forget this and so your gorgeous Reverso will always have a special place in your heart. Many congrats and enjoy it to the max! Thomas
Amazing

Sometimes when you give a little you’ll get a lot - hopefully more companies will take a longer term view of the customer relationship. Undoubtedly they’ve secured a loyal customer here! Well done to all involved and congratulations on your unique and mea...
Fantastic Story !

Bravo!

Really enjoyed this post. I have been toying with that idea. Can I ask what is the cost for engraving and enameling? Best Gatsby
