Let's put it into context
I agree that the brand has been on a decline and that they have been creatively stagnant while increasing prices by insane amounts.
What I was commending them for is the return to smaller cases, since they have been releasing huge watches for years. It's still a step in the right direction.
Is JLC a well run brand? Absolutely not, not now at least. Are the products too expensive? Absolutely. Are these new releases good? Price aside, I really find them attractive, unlike 99% of what they have done lately.
New Reversos!
After many disappointments I can finally say that I really love the new additions to the reverso tribute lineup. Mainly the monoface, which finally reverts back to vintage proportions, and the steel duoface tourbillon with a fantastic rhodium dial. Good j...
That blue one is stunning
Always been a fan of the colors and dials on the tribute-styles from JLC!
Well, the prices are...
Reverso Tribute Monoface US$8900. As to the stainless steel Tribute Duoface Tourbillon, you'd have to ask JLC... đ
Wow. That's a lot for a monoface.
Just a few years ago I paid a lot less for a duoface.
+1.
The last time we saw something new was in 2015 with the Geophysic True seconds. It becomes very frustrating and boring.
remember, belle horlogerie has been the new(ish) raison d'etre... no interest in updating movements in any "basic" models.
be they reverso, memovox, master lines etc. one has to wonder if the revenues since belle horlogerie of mme renier (now replaced as she has "moved on" back to asia) has worked out for JLC, because as we all know, nothing has been advanced and the polaris ...
I jumped for joy...
...when I saw the blue dial, finally a Tribute without the circular subdial. Then I saw the size. I know some will be pleased but I'm afraid I'm not
If you like them bigger and without the seconds hand...
...how about the tribute chronograph?
âGood jobâ - Seriously???
Hey, JLC took the same movement and the same concept and tailored it a bit here and there. Then took the price tag and continued to inflate it. Yet another of approximately one bazillion minuscule variations on the Reverso. Câmon, theyâre nice enough watc...

Love the news/old sizing
And now please release one with a black dial. The prices are crazy though. Itâs about 9500⏠for the monoface in Germany. I paid 8900⏠for the duoface two years ago at the JLC boutique.
Went to see the steel Tourbillon today
I am a big fan of JLC, but I have to give a hard NO on this one. Itâs cool, but I canât see putting $100,000 to this watch. It stands to no proportion. Itâs a nice movement, but the value is not felt. Stickers on, so it looks out of focus ...
Very much like the new Tribute Monoface (especially the white one), BUT
it's kind of cheeky to sell this as a new size closer to the original. The case size has always been there (not with the tribute version, but with the classic version). They just changed the dial and made it about 1.000⏠more expensive than the now discon...
