I knew you would say that, Clavi.
And you're right about the dial, as well as the fact that there was a re edition of the orginal Reverso, yet.
I wondered if we still could say that this TT 1931 is an Ultra Thin.
7, 25 is thin, but to say that it is Ultra Thin, when the standard in this category is more under 5 mm...?
My answer would be affirmative.
Why?
If we take in consideration that the height also includes the carriage, yes I think that we can call this TT 1931 an Ultra Thin Reverso.
At least, it is the thinnest among the modern Reversos.
Best,
Nicolas.

Glad you enjoyed the video
Hi Ruckdee, Thanks for checking out the pics and video and I hope you get a chance to see the JLC Reverso soon! Regards, ED-209
I have a couple more comparison shots
Here is the prototype with my Reverso GMT (since it was a Reverso themed gathering my GMT seemed like the right choice for the evening). Sorry these aren't as good as Ed's. I was so struck by the Reverso that I had to go back the next day to see it again....
Cool comparison shots
Nice pics! And it was great to see you again Rovermark! Regards, ED-209
fall in love with this elegant beauty...
.... finally can see more pics and also videos of this watch of 2011... am sure all people are getting hotter and hotter to talk about this super classic watch. must place an order soon stefan
Which one are you considering?
Thanks Stefan, which version are you considering? The SS or RG? Regards, ED-209
It looks very elegant and classic too!
Maybe this could be my very 1st Reverso! Btw, would you happen to know, or be able to say if the special piece that is to be unveiled at SIHH would be a Platinum piece? Just what you know! Stephen
No details yet on the special SIHH piece but
I'm sure that we'll get a full report from the PuristSPro moderator team! Regards, ED-209
Special piece being announced at SIHH.....
Will be in Stainless Steel, best to contact the JLC BHB directly as they have all the info already. -MW
Thats one goodlooking watch
Thanks for the great photos and video Ed. Like everyone, I like the proportions on this Reverso. It seems just right, like a beautifully upsized GT case. I like especially the elegance of the lugs on the RT. BTW, it's ironic that they didnt think to ship ...
JLC did it right with this one
Hi Damien, Thanks for the kind words and for checking out this report. The proportions are really nice on this Reverso. Regards, ED-209
Is that the first re-edition of a re-edition ?
Actually the reverso with the '1931' dial has already been re-edited (in its original size though) 30 years ago So, that makes this 'tribute' the first re-edition of a re-edition Original re-edition: To me, there's nothing like the original... (note: the ...

Fantastic impressions of a very handsome watch.
Thank you for the report - this does look irresistible. D.
Irresistible it is
Hi Dirk, Thanks for reading the report on the JLC Reverso 1931. It definitely is irresistible and very tempting. Hope you get to see one soon. Regards, ED-209
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute to 1931: Wrist Shot Photos
Jaeger-LeCoultre Beverly Hills Boutique Reverso Tribute to 1931 Seth of the JLC BHB passed around the prototype for everyone to try it on. Yep, it was so cool we were all fighting for it and we almost forgot that we were going to be served a delicious din...
The Tribute appears very wearable indeed. The comparative shots...
...with the Grande Reverso 976 help a lot for me. By the way, did Seth and DRMW both wear a 976 in black each or is it one same watch? Ruckdee
The Grand Reverso 976....
Hello Ruckdee! The 976 was used to demonstrate how it didn't work on my wrist but I found that the Reverso Tribute to 1931 was perfect! Hope you get to see one in person, it's Awesome! -MW
I know exactly what you mean. 1-2 mm more and I can't wear the 976 as well.
It will be like six months before the show piece comes to my country for the preview. I'm sure it will be interesting. Right now I will just have to be content with my 976... Ruckdee...
Be more than content, Ruckdee
That 976 looks awesome on you your wrist. This is perhaps my favorite photo of the 976 "in action" -- I refer to it whenever I am thinking about the 976 -- which is pretty often. Best, respo
Very nice of you, respo. I submitted it to the virtual museum yesterday around noon.
And a few hours later JLC sent me a note, confirming that it has already been included in the galleries. Both the 976 and the Grande Sun Moon. Glad I could participate even after the actual contest has ended. Ruckdee
Here are a couple more wrist shots
I think it looks great on my wrist. I know where some of my money is going in the near future... I love how thin it is!...
Looks great on your wrist
Nice pics, I like the one with the side view that shows the thinness of the case. Thanks for sharing the pics. Regards, ED-209

Wonderful event! BTW, Amanico is correct about the SS piece....
It was great to see the prototype, thanks to JLC BHB for making it happen. BTW, Amanico is correct about the SS and confirmed by Seth at JLC BHB. -MW
Very nice watch and event
Looks like you all had a good time. I do like the watch. Best regards, George
Excellent reporting of a great evening...
the Tribute to 1931 has my wife's attention..she likes the dimensions and the ultrathin case... Congrats to JLC on the 80 year Anniversary of an iconic watch... thanks to Seth, the staff at BHB and the invited guests for an enjoyable evening... Nice work ...
It was great to see you both
Thanks ocwatching. It was great to see you and your wife at the event. This reverso is a stunner and I really like the dimensions of the case. Regards, ED-209
Cool watch indeed!
A great classic lives again. Thanks for taking us along for the event and I look forward to seeing this watch in person sometime soon!
Missed you at the event
Hi Patrick, Hope everything is going well! Wish you could have joined us for the event, it was fun as always and the JLC Reverso 1931 prototype was stunning! So what do you think Patrick, the SS or the RG version? Regards, ED-209
The very strong point of this TT 1931 is the volume of the case.
And you pointed it very well with all your comparison pictures. The size, of course, but most interestingfly, the thinness of this new Reverso. I can be wrong, and I need to see it in the flesh before any definitive judgement, but I have the feeling that ...
Nice and attractive.
The SS model will be mine as soon as it appears to the market. Well done JLC! Best, Kari
Very nice and this will be my second JLC almost for sure....
...so, RG model is LE while SS model is not? I am a white metal stubborn guy, so I am curious. Best, Ken
Are the other non 1931 pieces the same price..?
Obviously there are 4 models to choose from...the 2 versions for the 1931 re-edition and 2 more versions with different dials. Are these the same price or a bit cheaper than the special editions..? Have you seen this model yet Nico..? Yours, Andy.
As I said, Andy, I need to see them in the flesh before any final comment.
As for the other informations, I'm preparing a topic, I will post when I am back from Geneva, in the end of next week... I don't have all the informations, by the way. Best, Nicolas.
I don t want to commit but.......
RG could be..........lets see ...I will be at SIHH and you-ll never know.. Mo
Well, I guess we are all salivating now. ;-)
Ed, you and Seth read my mind! Ever since I heard of the RT 1931, I have wanted to see it and the Grande 976 side by side, and you have provided me with many shots here. Of course, I still have to see them both on the wrist, but this is very helpful. It i...
Thanks respo, and +1 on the JLC BH boutique
Glad you liked the report. And I agree with you 100% that Seth and his team are doing an amazing job for JLC fans everywhere. Hope you have a chance to see this RT 1931 soon. Regards, ED-209
Seth and the JLC BHB....
" Seth and his team are doing such an amazing job for the West Coast JLC fans " +1 on that! They do an amazing job bringing the most exciting pieces to the U.S. Best way to thank them is in supporting them so that they can continue to do what they do. -MW
Thanks for the great report Ed..!
It's and handsome looking watch... I really love the clean - art-deco styled dial and the small "reverso" wording on the dial.. Thanks again for the great report! Best, Sam
Thanks for checking out the report
Hi Sam, I agree with you, this JLC Reverso has a really clean art-deco styled dial. It looks really good and sized right. Can't wait to see the production pieces. Regards, ED-209
Size would be an interesting factor for me to see...
I would actually love to try this watch.. And probably considering it for a dress watch, as I have yet to own one... But I have problems with watch size.. A watch with less than 42mm diameter size is tiny to me... As I'm all used to wearing Panerai.. Anyw...
Great pics ED209....
glad you had a great evening. Was this the only version they showed you..? Did you see the regular production non 1931 versions with the different dials which have Jaeger-LeCoultre written on them..? It's great to see the side by side comparison with the ...

Hi Andy, Thanks for checking out the pics, video and report. We had such a great time with Seth and our fellow PuristS that we all wanted to stay longer The pics and video were of the single prototype that exists. But thanks to Seth, we had full access to...
You're welcome
Thanks for checking out the pics and video. And I hope you have a chance to stop by the JLC BH boutique for a hands on view of the prototype. Regards, ED-209
Is there a more classy watch than this..??? for 5,500 euro..
this is perfect, in every way. there are watches...and then there are watches... and this is as close as you can get to perfection Thank you Jaeger. Best Imran
It looks perfect! :)
Can’t wait to have a chance to try it on! I really love that the dial only says “Reverso” and that the crown is unmarked! Ed, thank you for the report! Best Blomman
Thanks blomman
Glad you enjoyed the report and hope you get to see one soon. Regards, ED-209
