A wonderful Reverso. Increasingly I think of watches as being a statement of our own tastes in Horology, Art and Design. I also sense an increasing interest in the disappearing art of enamel, so it is wonderful to see a piece such as this executed with such imagination and skill.

After 20 years of collecting watches....I have come to the stage of appreciating simple watches with beautiful dials. To me, they are purely objects of art.
