Calling on the JLC expert! Reverso movement question...between caliber 822 and 854...
JLC reverso have been on my radar for quite some time. I am looking for the a large model with Arabic numeral and notice the single face and dual face model with that front dial have different movements. The duo face has caliber 854A/2:
The single face version seems to be powered by caliber 822/2:
Are both of these movement similar in terms of rate accuracy or is one of them “better” meaning it would likely provide better rate accuracy. Not sure what I should expect from them on that dimension. Thanks in advance for any insights! This would also be my first JLC!

Rate accuracy...
Rate accuracy in this context should be about the same. Although in real life, one doesn't know without having both watches tested simultaneously. Both have 21.6K vph, similar brand, somewhat similar architecture. The dual face has more drag and resistanc...
I also prefer the thin-ness of the 822, so I recommend the 822.
The Duo is very nice. But I find that it's not that useful in my real life. It's also significantly thicker.
The 854 is the 822 suped-up...
Note the long bridge of the 822. You can see it beneath the 854's complication wheel. The 822 is very PURE, classic Swiss architecture. The 854 is PURE GENIUS. Honestly, there's not a bad answer here. My first Reverso was a monoface with an engraving of m...

They are actually identical
The 822.2 and 854.2 are identical movements with the obvious additions of motion works added to the going train side of the movement to provide the additional time display. Incidentally the .2 designation refers to the changes to the hair spring and balan...
