JLC Grande Reverso Tribute to 1948 - some macro shots to share
Aug 30, 2014,16:40 PM
I have not shared this watch for awhile. This lovely watch was the one I bought when Nicolas was inSingapore, in the JLC boutique.
Many of you know my love for its blued hands and indices. The watch seems to come to life and smile at you when the warm sunlight shines on the dial.
But there is another lovely aspect to this watch which is more of a detail and cannot be easily noticed with the naked eye. Macro lens can bring this to life.
It's the grainy white dial of the 1948 Reverso. It looks a bit like crumbled white paper. I love the look!
Also I noticed that the indices and minutes railway track looks raised under the loupe. A very 3D effect - quite different from the other applied indices and minute track I have seen before. Nicolas if you know more about this could you explain? I only described what I observed.
Some pics to share here for the weekend including a wristshot in the sun
. Enjoy!
Cheers
Robin
And finally still my favorite look on this watch when the sun shines on it!
