JLC SIHH 2011: The Grande Reverso Duo.
Last year came 2 Grande Reversos, the 976 ( which borrowed its name to the Calibre ), and the Reverso 986 Duodate. The 976 had a very simple aesthetic, which can now be seen as a premonition of the lreleases of this year, with new and appealing dimensions...
Wait a minute...
On the black dial, the Night and Day is showing Day as 12-24 and Night as 24-12. Wish they would rotate the dial 90 degree clockwise so that Day would show 6-18 instead. Added bonus: The number 6 will be exactly where it is suppose to be on the larger dia...
I'm not sure if I get you right.
But if you follow the half circle pattern in white, wouldn't "Day" be 6-18? Tracing the sun from rising to setting hours? Or are you referring against the "Day" text instead? Ruckdee
Yes
Yes, i am referring to the text. Notice on the 986 duodate it was Hometime instead of Night and Day
Not my favourite Reverso, this year, but a promising success, I guess.
As I said, a nice and elegant case, combined to a friendly complication. I'm sure ot will find its fans! Best, Nicolas.
I am sorry but in my opinion
this watch is a Down-Graded Grande GMT. Where is the nice 8-days power reserve? Best, Kari
Well, my guess is that they tried to associate an elegant watch to a ...
Friendly complication. In my eyes, the purpose is fulfilled even if the old Duo in GT size was already nice watch. Best, Nicolas.
Thank you for another close up, Nicolas!
But I have to agree – this is not one of my favourite Reverso. Maybe because some of the other Reverso’s presented at SIHH was more exciting… Maybe because when you see it in photos it doesn’t feel new… I get the feeling R...
had the ultra thin not been released...this would have had the limelight
its really just such an amazing watch..the dials..i really really do love them Imran
Yep, tend to agree with that.
The problem is that this Grande Reverso Duo has to face so many beauties, this year... But I'm sure it will find its place, as it offers a complication that theothers don't. Best, Nicolas
Grande Reverso Duo vs Reverso Grande GMT
I like the new Duo. The size works better than the 986. Anyhow I still think that the Grande GMT has more appeal, not only for the 8-day power reserve complication but also in terms of pure aesthetics. I am bit surprised to see that, with the interruption...
My guess is that the 8 Days movement will reappear.
And I guees that it will be also housed in the Grande Reverso. The 8 Days movement is so JLC! Best, Nicolas.
