Pleasure of the Day: Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso Tourbillon Skeleton.
I already posted it, but from time to time, facing a beauty is not unpleasant, is it? This Reverso achieves a miracle: I am not fan of Tourbillons, nor Skeletons. But here... If you add the GT case in platinum, plus the cabochon on the top of the crown, y...
Well, this one...

Your Time Will Come!

Well, you didn't know it was coming, did you?

Not much fan of skeleton.........
But THIS one is awesome. Definitely by far my favourite and the fact that JLC has used blue corundum (jewels) instead of red, is a very nice, subtle touch. Grande classe! Cheers and thank you for the picture my friend. Francois
Absolutely, François. This is another elegant detail.
Definitely one of the three finest skeletons I know. The first one being a certain ding dong Vacheron... ;) Best, Nicolas

The Jewel in the Crown:) Wishing you a happy celebration for the 14 juillet. With the hope that the spirit of 1789 will leave on! (it is sadly not the case right now). Cheers my friend Francois
