Jaeger-LeCoultre

Red hot summer

 

Summer is finally here in Paris, so I decided I needed a new strap for my newly acquired Reverso Rouge.


Let's remember that the Reverso was initially a sport watch, and that the red dial was favored by the dandys of the 30's for its non-conventional appearance.
This Rouge being a tribute to the initial Reverso from 1931, I wanted to keep (or rather re-create) the original spirit of the watch, with a sport yet elegant "dandy" look. I wanted something for the summer, and a big change from the (too) classic black croc.

After checking out a few strapmakers and chatting with other purists (thank you guys), here it is: an entirely different look for a "sport-chic" icon!
