Memories : The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Memory
Andrew:
Lovely watch, beautifully photographed!!! A fine heirloom to pass on to you children (or grandchildren). I have a 1950s Omega pie pan that my grandfather left me and it is one of my most treasured possessions despite my other more expensive watches (like my JLCs!!!). Last year I had Omega restore it and I hopefully one of my children will be wearing it in the future.

Memories : The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Memory
It is special when a watch becomes part of you; an expression of who you are. My wife has been wearing a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Memory (Reference 255.08.82) for many years. It is not mollycoddled, but worn as it was meant to be. The Reverso Memory was m...
An interesting Reverso, fallen in the forgotten world.
It didn't have the success it deserved, indeed. An original movement and complication, in a timeless Watch and design. Thanks for resuscitating it! One thought, though: It can also be worn by a man! Best, Nicolas
'Man size'
Yes of course, the classic case is/was a mans watch. But given the modern propensity for larger case sizes, the classic range looks great on a ladies wrist. She tried on the more traditional ladies Reverso's but the proportions on the wrist were no where ...
Our wives watches...
... are a very special topic of its own. Isn't it a wonderful thing if she understands your feelings about your watches? It seems to me this can be enhanced a lot if she has her special piece of her own. I will come back to this later. I did not know abou...
The scans are much appreciated.
Thanks for the scans, Martin, I had not seen those before. She understands the attraction of a fine watch, just not why I should want more than one. ;-) The Memory was love at first sight for her. But it was the main dial with the prominent subseconds, th...
Great post, Andrew!
You put a light on something I have been thinking of many times... I don't have any children of my own, but my God-son will one day of course receive a watch from me. That watch I hope he will always associate with me... The question is which one? And how...
That is a challenge
There is one watch that my youngest son has shown an interest in. It was made in the same year as he was and I talk about it to him as though he will inherit it one day. Planting the seed. Andrew

This is a common story ...
... amongst PuristS. A treasured watch handed down from a parent or grandparent. We would love to see photos of your Pie pan omega. Congratulations! Andrew
brilliant photos
Hi really good photos of the Reverso Memory - see to recall when I was on the hunt for my Reverso I tried one of the on. Thought I'd add to the scans - its the same one as has already been posted - but with the explanation in English. Unfortunately I'm no...
Thanks for the catalogue scans ...
Thanks for the catalogue scans, Jonathan. A little history around a watch adds to the pleasure of ownership. Interesting choice of ostrich leather strap. That has gone out of vogue, at least as an OEM item. I have got so used to seeing the Reverso Memory ...
