Oldie but Goldie: Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute to Reverso 1948.

Sep 26, 2020,11:09 AM
 

Not that old, as this watch was issued in 2013, if my memory serves me well. 





What do I like on this Reverso? The Thin case ( 7, 2 mm ), and... The dial, which has a very pleasant depth. 



One of the forgotten Reverso stars. 

Best,

Nicolas

Rectangular sub seconds, true Art Deco

+1.

Rectangular sub seconds > circular. But do you prefer with or without a seconds hand on a Reverso? That is the question! I suppose a “sports” watch should have a seconds hand. But is a Reverso still a sports watch these days?

Depends on the occasion

For formal - two hander preferable, Casual - sub seconds acceptable

Yes

Best of both worlds

Good answer.

So either 2 Reversos or 1 Reverso Duo!

Valid points. [nt]

I too think that this is a star. Reversos always have a place in my collection. They are iconic, unique and ever so timeless.

Beautiful.

Thanks for posting Nicolas. I do prefer the applied hour markers over Arabic numerals on a Reverso. Personally, I think I slightly prefer the sunburst dials and small seconds on the current Tribute models, even though they are a touch thicker than this mo... 

Have JLC ever made...

...a similar Reverso with a mother of pearl dial? (I have a bit of a mother of pearl fetish, I'm afraid).

No, not that I know.... [nt]

The dial is a pure beauty with a dial that has the texture of powdery snow. I enjoyed mine tremendously 😍😍😍 ...
