Seeing it in the flesh is a great experience.
Stay tuned.
Best,
Nicolas

I already own the platinum version, and I don't see the interest to " double " it with the RG version. No, I'm just preparing a post about this watch, and especially the RG, as my previous pictures were all except good. Best, Nicolas

Well, my friend, I don't know what to say. I was seduced, and I ended with the platinum version. I can tell you that I appreciate it more and more, and that I don't regret one second to have jumped on it. But me is me, and you is you, and at the end, it w...

and, to my knowledge, one of the (if not THE) only skeletonized watches where the bridges were "designed" around a motif - in this case the "geo" radiating from the balance. I think it is one of the most beautiful skeletons ever devised by any manufacture...
Agreed on the Skeleton.

Although I have a lot of admiration for the Reverso Platinum Nr 2, skeleton, a very light one, admirably playing the card of Transparency. As for the movement, even if it is " Kurt Klaused ", I don't really care when the movement reaches this level, to sa...

in 1985, Kurt Klaus was the only movement designer left at IWC. He drew the plans for and developed a perpetual calendar module that could sit on top of a base movement. At that time, IWC had no ebauche, so the brand released it on top of a ValJoux 7750 a...
Great explanation Dean

wow,that is some background!I think that the KK module sits and fit perfectly in this case,the highly refinement of the skeleton movement is well adapted to the marvellous pre set module on top. I really appreciate the one corrector in the watch,as you sa...
Hello Dean!

I don’t know if JLC have “borrowed” from IWC or not, but I once were on a lecture regarding the perpetual calendar how it was built hold by Mr Kurt Klaus. I must say it was very impressive, and I have nothing but great respect for his work! There might be...
Aaah, Vintage Reversos...
By: amanico : July 20th, 2010-21:04
I saw several, lately... Even if I already own one, I saw another one, but white dial, this time, a central seconds, in a stunning condition... A pure beauty, which crossed my mind. Best, Nicolas
I am jealous now :)

Nicolas, I am serious Vintage reverso is on my plan list for next year - just one presumably very early version with Tavanes movement but that makes the things harder - couple of times I got close to it but there was something .... Anyhow my big congrats ...

I must say, if I was able to take ANY one, I'd actually go for the Grande Taille "Art Deco," silver dial, with the skeletonized back. I think this is possibly the most "beautiful" Reverso of all - - - understanding that "beauty is in the eyes of the behol...
