Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Septantième 15th Anniversary.

Aug 10, 2022,12:45 PM
 


Well, to avoid any confusion, this Reverso has been with me for 15 years. I got it in August 2007, it was released in 2002.

How to describe this watch? Formal and precious, it is, with its elegant ruthenium dial and its sensual floral numerals, made in silver powder. 



Without forgetting the rare rectangular case, made in Platinum and the movement plates and bridges in... White Gold. 


But this is a watch which can also be casual. 

The case is big, thick ( for its category ), and, due to the platinum, heavy. But it is not uncomfortable at all.


And let's remember that it was the first Jaeger Lecoultre to use THE 8 days power reserve movement. 


You know you have a special watch. 

15 years later, I still wear it with great pleasure, even if the " wrist moments " are rarer than with other watches. 



Long life to the Septantième. 

Best,

Nicolas

It also came in red ( or rose ? ) gold? 500 ex? Movement in massiv gold as the Reverso 60th?

But the movement in the rosegold septantieme is not White. Is it rose?

Thanks Forgot : Love the JL logo at 12 oclock. I do not understand why they make Reversos with 12 on 12 when they could do the JL

Well, 12 is not bad either.

There used to be a Patek advertisement, if my memory is correct, that said something along the lines of "Chose once but chose wisely."

It seems that whatever you have chosen is always the crème de la crème. This one is no exception.

it's my favorite Reverso ever beside the gyrotourbillion 'hyper' Reversos. It exudes effortless elegance, charm, and somehow manages to successfully be both formal and informal - informally formal LoL.... The combination of materials and finishes is secon...

No...the screen-printed sky background.

The screen density isn't even tight and the dots are plainly obvious. At this price point it should be hand-painted... Amanico ...

I have taken a hiatus from watch collecting as this whole industry has changed in a manner that is not for me, but your post brightened my day.
