JLC stunners at stunning prices
when it comes down to value-for-money there is an issue with the golden ratio lately. 😉
Movement-wise one cannot expect huge jumps, without bumping up the size, and if you are fortunate enough to be able to wear it on a regular basis, I'm sure you won't mind winding theses beauties as a form of "ritual".
Whoever judges these timepieces from a purely monetary and/or technical viewpoint misses the point and will always struggle with the concept and ultimately the value of the Reverso.
Watches and Wonders 2023: A review on the new Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds.
Well, new, not really, but iterations, most precisely. Here you have three Reversos in Rose Gold, coming with a Silver, a Burgundy and a Black dial, and one in steel, with a white dial. The case size is well known: 45, 6 x 27, 4 mm BUT there is a differen...
I like the white-dialled steel watch.
But I don't like the price increase. Same case thickness as the cheaper blue, burgundy, and green, but with a cheaper strap and a significantly higher price. I would want this on a black alligator strap to wear with black tie.

Prices have become questionable while the product has barely evolved, including the trustworthy yet very simple 822. If it was a car and we were asked to pay extra for a paint job people would revolt yet it seems acceptable in the world of watches (oh a b...
The steel is my favorite
I'm not a fan of how they decided to only slim down the gold models, considering the insane price spike that happened last year. We should be getting more modern movements and more wearable cases given the higher price.
Thinner gold = less precious metal used? :)
I do like gold/black version a lot though. Your pictures also remind me that I need to get some new straps for my Tribute Moon. They look really nice.

I really appreciate this great work, Nico!
I have my heart set on seeing the Rose Gold with the Black lacquered dial in the flesh. However, when I was doing my research on these new releases, I immediately caught the fact, as you mentioned, that the Rose Gold editions are almost 1mm thinner in cas...
Lovely report...
and I echo the sentiments here about bigger prices. Dimensions a bit big for me, too, but appreciate the aesthetics.
Question about the steel model with white/silver opaline dial
Hi, Nico! Thank you for this post. How did the dial color appear to you in person for the steel model? White or more silvery? Matte or sunray?
I prefer the steel white.
If I have to pick a rose gold model, it'd be the rose gold with burgundy dial.
