Some fresh pictures of the Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute Moon.

Mar 20, 2019,11:56 AM
 


On the paper, this watch is big, really big: 49, 4 mm big, 29, 9 mm large and 10, 9 mm high. 

It is the perfect example that we should always see a watch in the reality, before expressing a final judgement. And I am the first to remind to myself this golden rule. 

When I read the dimensions in the press file, I was thinking " Not for me, too big ". 

Then, when I saw it, and that I put it on my wrist, it worked quite nicely. 

I had a few opportunities to fall on it, during my visits at the Manufacture, and past week, I took another series of pictures. 










Moon, date, and second time zone. It is quite friendly, too! 

Not my favorite, as my heart is taken by the Reverso Tribute Duo from the 2016 collection and the Tribute Small Seconds Burgundy from this year, but I cannot deny a certain class and elegance to this Reverso. 

Best,

Nicolas

this Reverso is ruined by the Wheel Of Fortune spinner on the back and the triangle indicator above it.

Here you are...

But not too bad.

Maybe the most beautiful Reverso, dial, complications, etc.

One thing you forgot in your nice review, Nicolas, is how does its size compare to the Septentieme or any other XGT. Would you mind telling us? Thanks for the pictures too. Best, É.

That makes it very attractive then!

Reverso + Moonphase is the epitome of romantism for me. I will have to go towards one of these one day. And that grainy moon, my my my!!! Thanks for your answer. Best, É.

It's too big for me

As I have a 6.75" wrist. Also, the crystal's poor AR drove me nuts, and I have sold it. I am now eyeing for the blue / RG model with a more modest size

Not a bad choice. I will review this one in May or June.

I first have to end with my review on the Gyrotourbillon Five...

I really wish JLC would use the red cresent...

for the date on more models. The MUT Moon, for example, is really hard to see the date when the pointer is above the horizon. The crescent would help, -Dean
