I love the steel version and am seeing it in the metal next week. Hopefully the large size works for me. I don't mind that the two sides are not as harmonious. It's like getting two different watches for different occasions. And I love both sides!

I like: - the look. It is very handsome, particularly the gold (which seems to have more contrast than the steel - if the movement was gold plated it would loose some of the contrast and so personally I am glad it is not plated; - the fact that you can te...
Yep.

I own Gran Sport chrono (black dial with arabic numerals) and not entirely sure if it is worth upgrading to a new version. The larger case size wouldn't bother me: by whatever reason reverso cases wear small. Are longer power reserve, dressier appearance ...

I am, as always, disappointed by the size

What adds insult to injury is the use of an evolution of a movement that was originally designed for a GT case, which would have been WAY better than this monstrous slab. When are we going to embrace elegance once again? It's the brands' responsibility to...
I must say, I completely missed the time on the verso side....

I have been used to looking at the chronograph since it first lauched in the 829 version (in gold), as well as the 859 in steel and overlooked the detail of having time on the chrono side! I DO like the fact that it now gives you 2 watches, an elegant cla...
Great analysis

Thank you for putting up a very informative and detailed analysis on this newcomer. To me this is one tough watch to wear because of its dimensions.
Agreed.

Thank you so much for this long-form review. Excellent, as always.

Your observations seem spot-on. The "new" Reverso chrono is more of a reintroduction and reimagining of the JLC Reverso chronograph forebears than a fully new watch. Well argued and demonstrated, counselor I think the overall size will be OK in height and...
Great review!

Not quite as good as the 1996 version, but certainly way cooler than the Gran Sport edition. Your review has changed my opinion of this new Reverso, but has underlined some aspects I would have liked such as keeping the 1996 case dimensions (or at least, ...
