A tricky question...
Feb 23, 2020,13:53 PM
When it comes to a sporty watch it has to be the Deep Sea Alarm imo. It is an undeniable icon of JLC, combining the alarm function with a heavy and waterproof case. But if you are looking for a watch that is the incarnation of understatement which is typical for Jaeger watches I would choose the Geophysic.

What is, according to you, the most popular Jaeger Lecoultre?
By: amanico : February 5th, 2020-23:32
Is it the Reverso, and if yes, which one, or a round watch, such as the Polaris or the Deep Sea Alarm or the Duometre or??? At the contrary of some other brands, Jaeger Lecoultre is not cannibalized by one model. For example, Audemars Piguet has the Royal...
For purists, it has to be the deep sea.

Its funny that noone seems to love their black dailed PC even if this piece is complex and sporty (what many people seem to like)
Reverso for me...

Some of the old forum members know this; but for those who don't... The first watch I had a passion for was Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre. First love. I've always loved the shape of the case and the Art Deco style since before I was a teenager. I never real...

Tricky question...
By: th.gr.ga : February 6th, 2020-03:23
Popular for whom? And on what basis? Should I venture a guess, I imagine Reverso is, by far, the model most readily associated with JLC amongst watch buyers in general. It has the longest and most enduring history; while other models, e.g. the Memovox or ...
My guess would be the Reverso

because of the history, recognition factor, and multitude of models available. My favorite is the Duomètre series which leaves me borderline breathless.
It's got to be the Reverso.
By: jlux : February 6th, 2020-05:55
Quite popular amongst my friends and colleagues. Especially the ladies seem to like it a lot. For me the Reverso works best when it is simple and elegant : the "Burgundy" would be my favorite.
My guess on the most popular JLC
By: Watcholic_id : February 6th, 2020-06:27
among watch enthusiasts (general enthusiast & purists) would be the Reverso because of the history, the iconic shape & it has been in JLC's collection longer than other popular models i.e Memovox, Geophysic, Polaris etc.

The Reverso

what else? One of few watches with a rectangular case.
Popular is tough to say
By: Brandon Skinner : February 6th, 2020-10:32
But for me, if I could buy only one realistic JLC it would be the US DSA as you have posted here. And much less realistically, the Gyro 2 in Platinum is on my Mt. Rushmore of ALL TIME Grails.
Not an expert

I’m not an expert on JLC but I would guess it’s the Reverso. Such an icon watch with great story behind and one million different iterations. Not my most favorite JLC but alas. My vote would go to Duometre (the older one with that free floating rotating t...
For modern, I’d say duometre, tied possibly with reverso. For me reverso is so true to its vintage roots, that it’s hard to call it modern, even if it is.
By: watchthatman : February 13th, 2020-03:46
But duometre is such a unique, special watch, and seems to be so admired by enthusiasts, that’s an easy on too. Why I say possibly reverso too is that there are so many stunning modern versions of this one. Some simple, like the rouge or the bleu, others ...
