Like you, I'm eagerly waiting to see this definitive Reverso Minute Repeater. To help us in this long wait, I received some pictures from my contact at the Manufacture, to share with you. Here is a pictorial summary: And the detailled pictures on each det...  

a bit too much for me,,,as you said the beauty of a skeleton or demi/squelette minute repeater is to hear and to SEE it in action....not for many I suppose but definetely captivating......Is it Dual Time?Or the same time on both sides? Thanks Nico

It seems to be a bit too perfect, too cold, at the end. Nice technical partition, though. Best, Nicolas.

I am impressed, it does not floor me. Perhaps real photos of the watch would do the trick. Cant get tat 15003 outa my mind ! Thanks for posting!

shaped-movement repeaters are SUCH a rare bird! I wonder how long before JLC starts releasing these past few years' "top end" pieces for auction. Obviously, if any of them (Gyro 2, Rideau, Grande Complications, etc.) had the name "Patek Philippe" on the d... 

They stop, one day, making so many interations of a watch introduced as a LE... They should play the same limited production than PP, and keep their production numbers secret, as well as pay more interest to their distribution network. Otherwise, I am in ... 

a swing and a miss for me....ignoring the fact that I would never afford one anyway. Like Mo said with such beauty I'd like to see the hammers in action, not hide it all behind a 'curtain'. I do love the time on the reverse, but then again you obviously c...

Have you had chance to listen to them both side by side..? I'd still have yours...it's a stunner Yours, Andy.

I will try to do it when I have the chance to listen to a definitive Reverso MR... But mine will be hard to beat. I had the opportunity to measure it while I was at the Manufacture, last March, and the results were outstanding. Best, Nicolas.

...shutter blind. It looks to be an amazing piece but will it be super thick like the Triptyqe? Ruckdee

It may also be considered as a wearable watch. Best, Nicolas.

I like this watch a lot. It is a sort of theater timepiece with the rideau. I'm sure that the final version will fulfil our expectations in both finishings and sound quality fields. I like the shape of the winding click... Thanks for the presentation Nico... 

And something consistent, which is not often the case when it comes to Theater Timepieces. I start to wonder if the reason of my reserve is that JLC let a a lot of place for technicality and less place for the Soul. That is why I am still eagelry waiting ... 

The mother of the memovox! And in a beautiful package like this! A watch I hope to see one day in the metal! Best Blomman

Nico, what shape is the gong? It occured to me while I was reading this that the minute repeaters I have previously seen are all round with a round gong. Does placing the gong in a rectangular case and getting the desired sound present any challenges or i... 

It is here: jlc.watchprosite.com I won't repeat what Jerome wrote about it, it wpould not be interesting. Best, Nicolas.

The shutter kind of kills it for me. I would have preferred a traditional slide. Why hide such a beautiful movement?

Another fantastic creation from JLC. Best. Vte

For example, when we manipulated the " curtain / trigger " at the SIHH, we were advised to not touch the curtain, as it would damage the whomle mechanism of the Minute Repeater. A more discrete trigger, like the one of the first Reverso Minute Repeater, w... 

pity with this Rideau covering the striking. Then JLC should make this a dual time and the hammers sound off the time on the back. That would be cool and unique.

So after showing a video of the curtain mechanism to my (architect) girlfriend, the first thing she noticed was that the curtain "looked like a garage door", and just like the garage door at storage facilities, it too chimes... I'm speechless...
