JLC SIHH 2011: The Grande Reverso Duo.

Last year came 2 Grande Reversos, the 976 ( which borrowed its name to the Calibre ), and the Reverso 986 Duodate.

The 976 had a very simple aesthetic, which can now be seen as a premonition of the lreleases of this year, with new and appealing dimensions.

The 986 Duodate was bigger and larger.

So, when I saw the Grande Reverso Duo coming, I was a bit suprised, and wondered if, in fact, it wasn't a bit of both the 976 and 986.

It is.

It takes the front and back dials of the 986, but it borrows the case of the 976 ( 48, 5 mm ).

It is even less large than this last one ( 0, 5 mm less, 29, 5mm instead of 30 mm ), and it is equally thick.

It also takes the same movement, the Cal 986.

To be honest I much prefer this Grande Reverso Duo to the 986, due to its more harmonious proportions.

Here are the two existing versions, which are not limited.

1/ The stainless steel:





2/ The rose gold :





For those who are looking for a nice, elegant travel watch...

Best,
