Well I'm not buying a curtain Reverso unless it has one that turns in Alfred E. Neuman!

Do you love Reversos and Enamel?

 
 By: amanico : May 25th, 2010-06:49
So this post is for you! When it comes to speak about the Reverso and Enamel, we immediately have in mind the Eclipse, which offers the charm of an enamel dial and the discretion of the curtain, which hides or exposes to the admiration of everybody's eyes...  

Reversos are not my cup of tea...

 
 By: Goh : May 25th, 2010-07:46
but those are really beautiful pieces of art. The recto side on the Email is simple yet complex, the blue minute track adds much charm to the dial. I like the discretion of the curtain on the Eclipse too, I handled one at the AD and can relive the experie... 

If there is some work on the movement, Goh

I would be very pleased to see such an enamel " simple " Reverso with a sapphire case back. I fell so deeply in love with this dial! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Love them. Art pieces, to me. [nt]

XGT? Why not do away with...

the exhibition back on the Grande Reverso 976 (which isn't terribly interesting, IMO), and give us a GIANT canvas in which to permanently engrave our family crests, university crests, or favorite people? -Dean

That would be an interesting option, Dean.

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-03:48
I agree with you that if there is not something exceptional ( or at least beautiful ) to see through the case back, a solid one with a nice engraving would do the deal! Best, Nicolas

I am totally in agreement, Vlad

 
 By: respo : May 25th, 2010-11:06
Wow, that Grande Reverso Email is beautiful, especially the dial. Just lovely. And those Eclipse Reversos. I have not even allowed myself to dream of those, as I fear I would get myself into terrible trouble. Yes, I think I share your dream for the perfec... 

Let's shout loud!

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-03:50
If JLC could hear us... I'm not convinced they are convinced. How many of us would pay the price on such a piece? That is a real question. I would, but who else? Best, Vlad Dracul.

Well, if JLC really delivers...

 
 By: respo : May 27th, 2010-06:52
.. and a simple but exquisitely finished Reverso with an email dial, yes I think I would get one as that would satisfy my desire for the perfect Reverso. I think more than a few people would like to see MJLC dazzles us with a simple but beautifully finish... 

One sublime Enamel Reverso

To compete with the References of this category, like a Lange Anniversary, for example. To get a timeless classic piece, To wear a piece of Art, Well, to be happy, just happy, with such a fine timekeeper. I, too, would be in for such a deliciously simple ... 

This is not like a painting in your house...

 
 By: peregrino : May 25th, 2010-13:38
... because you can wear it with you all day, where ever you go! A fantastic little hidden treasure only for you and for those you might want to invite. Pure Art! Thanks for this post with such beauties! Best Rob.

I've got it!

 
 By: patrick_y : May 25th, 2010-15:10
Your post gave me this great idea! If I had a Jaeger watch with a miniature enamel painting, I'd get a very large frame. However, in the middle of this very large frame, there will only be this small Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. Thanks Rob!

Yes, Rob...I especially love this intimate relation with

This piece of Art... Only connoisseurs, and the owners know what they have on their wrist. I like a lot this idea. Best, Nicolas

Reversos and Enamel

 
 By: dr.kol : May 25th, 2010-14:44
I have been dreaming about these watches the whole weekend in Paris. The funny city where a cup of cappuchino is easily costing € 7.00 and a Coce Light € 9.00. The same city from where I made a month ago the longest bus trip of my life - a trip costing mo... 

I understand, Kari...

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-03:56
Well I warned you that Paris is a strange City! But it can also feed some crazy dreams, like this Rectangular one. In this case, I think that if you consider yourself as a keeper for the next generation, you should rather go on a solid platinum case back ... 

Platin Reverso with Enamel dial

 
 By: dr.kol : May 27th, 2010-05:41
Nico, I have in my too long shopping list ALS Richard Lange, one simple Patek and VC Patrimony. All in Platin. If JLC would make and sell me a Reverso in the same case size as their Grand GMT with the enamel dial as pictured in your story, with a 8-days m... 

I appreciate your convinction, Kari

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-07:17
And your Passion for such a timepiece. A Rectangular timeless watch, with a sublime dial and a nice movement would certainly play on the same field than the watches you mentioned. GT, or XGT case, relatively thin case, and the appropriate finish: A revero... 

Yes, I do love Reversos and Enamel...

 
 By: patrick_y : May 25th, 2010-15:06
I'm a bit surprised that it seems Jaeger-LeCoultre has been offering more enamel decorated watches. If I remember correctly, the enamel department only consists of one gentleman and one lady. I'm a bit surprised that they all of a sudden seem to be produc... 

Don't get me wrong, Patrick

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-04:00
The enamel pieces are produced in a confidential way... And the price of such pieces is another reason of their confidential production. It takes such a long time to make a perfect enamel dial that a massive production is impossible. I'm convinced that JL... 

just my cup of tea

 
 By: Cookies : May 25th, 2010-19:59
It'll be nice to see some Will Turner or Munch paintings miniaturized on one. I wanted to engrave my dead dog's image on mine.

it's an honour

 
 By: Cookies : May 27th, 2010-12:25
I drink Lapsang Souchong and Darjeeling tea mostly. Earl Grey is good too. Ciao

LOL, Cookies...Same for me! [nt]

I concur on the beauty of that dial. Nice pictures!

Thanks a lot for your nice words, Bill. [nt]

me like it long time :0) Ahhh you always know how to cheer me up when I have bad day .... but you also play all the right (or is it wrong cards) :0)) when it comes to completely derange me and thank you for finally posting picture of "much" Reverso my all... 

Will try, one day, to gather all the enamel Reversos, and to post them...

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-04:10
But it will be a long task, as they were quite a lot of different models. You know my nickname, my friend, torturing is my job! See you soon, my friend. Torquemada.

and now while reading your response

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : May 27th, 2010-08:39
I saw how much you derange me :0) instead of Mucha I wrote Much yes it was too much for me LOL See ya Tourquemada Damian

LOL, Damian, don't worry, I got it!

Prepare the glasses, and the bottle(s) too! Best, 666

So are you in, Stefan? Let's make a short batch for our Community!

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-04:11
That would be a great idea! Best, Nicolas

Me too...

 
 By: dr.kol : May 27th, 2010-12:57
I can even fly to Paris and pick up mine from the Boutique. Nico, I had a very nice bottle of good vodka for you. I forgot to give it and had to take it back. So I have a very good reason to fly back to Paris - to deliver 0.75 l. of very pure vodka. That ... 

Heey, Kari

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-13:21
Don't drink it..Until we meet again! Best, Nicolas

Vodka...

 
 By: dr.kol : May 27th, 2010-13:26
Nico, I never drink booze. Drinking is the national hobby of my nation and I want to be a different youngster. But if JLC will produce our Dream Reverso, I will then invite you to Lido and try a glass of this bubbling booze you have in Paris, i.e. Dom Per... 

Yes

 
 By: djmm : May 26th, 2010-07:14
I would love to own a Reverso enamel, but being completely hand made and artful and all that, unfortunately it makes the price too high for me to afford. If I had lots of money I would love to have one personalised one in enamel.

I don't know which would be the price point...

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-04:36
It would also depend on the metal, the work on the case back, on the movement... I guess it will make a big difference from a simple Reverso, but at what point, I don't know. But Dreams don't have a price! Best, Nicolas

Thank you, Greg... I would be curious to know what would be the wish list

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-13:35
Of such a Collector like you... Best, my friend. Nicolas

This is probably as close as it gets to being a grail watch to me.

 
 By: sw-rick : May 27th, 2010-00:44
Forget about the complications, get me the duo-enamel! Seriously, a time only enamel dial reverso in white gold or platinum would be hard to beat, and more affordable than an Eclipse. Thank you for the eye candy and putting water in my mouth! Best, Rick

My pleasure, Rick

 
 By: amanico : May 27th, 2010-13:36
Don't get me wrong...I'm not an extremist, and I would be very pleased to see a Duometre coming with an enamel dial... Best, Nicolas

Oh, Nicolas!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : May 29th, 2010-07:36
The last one really took my breath away! Stunning! Make my hear race Missed the engraving and decoration workshop, will have to see that one on my next visit. Thank you for sharing this one! Best, my friend Blomman

What? You missed this workshop?

 
 By: amanico : May 29th, 2010-12:04
What a pity, my friend. This is pure magic and poetry! Indeed, a visit a the Manufacture can't be short. Best, Nicolas

I love 100% :) [nt]
