I couldn't resist to the pleasure to share with you some pictures of 2 of the most beautiful Reversos: - The Perpetual Calendar, which was the last of the Rose Gold Limited Editon Reverso Saga, released in year 2 000. - The Géographique, released just bef...  

If JLC would decide to repeat these watches in steel, I would take both! Best, Kari

I don't know about that but the original size is big enough to be readable and at the same time not stupidly big. Best, Kari

to keep...I can't think of a watch that looks better in all different combinations of metal and dial colour as well as different complications you can put in a watch... the range of Reverso over years is just mindboggling but never dull You can just say R... 

BUT I have to admit that this RG series is just awesome. I had a problem with them, though as I found sad that there was such a lack of balance between round and rectangular cases. At this time, the only exceptional watches were rectangular. Nowadays, thi...

loved the rose gold Reverso series (as you know) and your review is a worthy reminder of what made this series of watches great - and a turning point in MJLC's history. Thanks - enjoyed reading and viewing. Andrew H

Of your Tourbillon... I miss some good pics of this RG Reverso Tourbillon, and of the RG Chrono, to end the series of post I will dedicate to these golden marvels. Stay tuned! Best, my friend. Nicolas.

my only reservation is the "QP" text on the perpetual--seems superflusous given the subdial that it surrounds. But surely I can live with that! And the rose gold cases lend a sophistication and fin-de-sicle opulence to the affair J

Aren't we a bit too picky, though? Best, Nicolas.

As usual by the master himself. Your description of the watch is more than what I had observed even when I have owned and worn it so many times on my wrist. Great observation to style and to the various finishing details. BTW - isn't the Geographique in y... 

To answer your question, on the example taken from my pics, Paris is at 10 PM, and logically, Samoa is at 10 AM... Which corresponds to the " - " symbol. That is simple and intuitive to read. Thanks for your nice words, be sure that many other reviews are... 

Is'nt silly that II was using it wrongly for so long. /W72

Géographique front dial please, with the supremely balanced display at the top rather than at 1 o'clock And the rear dial of the perpetual calendar, with the days and months in English please. It shouldn't be that hard to find one of each and do the swapp... 

Not only because he makes original and mad watches, but also because he worked, at this time, at the Manufacture! Best, my mad friend. Nicolas.

Stunning pair! In many details similar but very different in character. I prefer the symmetric PC case… But in the same time my choice would be the GMT complication! What can I say – the only solution would be to get both… Thank you, Nicolas for another w... 

Ulysse Nardin, which associates these 2 complications. You see? There is always a solution. You juste have to ask! Best, my friend. Nicolas.

The same is true for the symmetrical back of the perpetual. Please tell JLC "not" to make something like that next year in a Grande Reverso size otherwise my endless financial grief will be forever "perpetuated"! Thank you for the education. I have seen t...

Really, every one of the RG series is a masterpiece. You are right that the Reverso is such a great canvas for a perpetual complication. Do you have a favorite from teh series...the minute repeater, perhaps? Best always, respo

I didn't find MY Perpetual Calendar, yet... THe MC 8 Days Skeleton is an awesome choice, yes, but I would prefer something slimmer... I have my eyes on a Vacheron PC Skeleton, in platinum, but the beast is a bit pricey... This RG Reverso PC is a very temp... 

I however thought that we were going to see the Shark first? You might actually get me to like RG. Best regards, George

The perpetual in the Reverso GT QP is the thinnest one ever built (IIRC), and is used for a second time in the carrier of the Reverso a Triptyque. Nice photos. I've always loved both. -Dean

Thanks a lot for this excellent post. I will prepare a review of the PC one day ! I really like it because I think that a reversible watch is perfect for this complication. Fx

Nothing can beat that configuration, and it also helps the watch to be more legible. Best, Nicolas.

I guess that Geographique is rarer than the Perpetual in this part of the world and I saw it only once so far. Seen the Perpetual couple of times although still considerably rare. I would say both this Reverso is understated and make very good daily wear ... 

But it is true that I saw more PC than Geographique for sale. The bad thing is that the retail of these 2 pieces has gone very high ( more than 50 000 euros for the PC !!!, nowadays ). There are still some brand new for sale ( Geo and PC ) at the JLC Bout... 

.. To decide to which my senses would incline.. How shall I put it: - So beautifully balanced the Perpetuelle, with this lovely jour et nuit -- I LOVE that blue indication ! And the calendar on the Verso side.. a feast of its own, once you have made the '... 

And that is just the beginning, I have other posts in the tube... Dream, just dream. Best, hs. Nicolas.

a true master piece, vey elegant! nice review, thanks Nico. Matt

Inspired me to wear my Geo today. I'm off to Normandie for the weekend tomorrow - so a chance to turn it over - One question for PC owners - a manual wind QP means you either have to do a lot of resetting - or a lot of winding - which I think is why manua... 

But with a beauty, I guess that it would be a pleasure to wind itr every day... Thanks, my friend, and if you can ever come and join us in Paris on next Monday... You're more than welcome! Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas, Your reviews are outstanding as usual ! The RG Perpetual Calendar is for sure the best interpretation of a perpetual calendar ever made in a so small watch case ! I'm dreaming about this Reverso every night from the day I discovered this model... 

If you look after it, you may find one not too highly priced. This Reverso PC is a pure marvel, I agree. And I would have fallen for it if in white metal, not necessarily in steel, as ss doesn't work on such a classic look, IMO. Thanks for the link ,I wil... 

You must be right for sure... but I've read one of your answers to another post and you are talking about 50k EUR for the PC nowadays ! And the average price on the second hand market is around 25-27k EUR. I would love to catch one below 25k EUR for my 40... 

I asked JLC to allow me to spend one hour to take some shots of these watches, and many others. If you're interested on the Reverso PC, I can tell you by PM where to go for one which will be less than that. Best, Nicolas.
