The reversible beauty of the Reverso sizes...
While the Reverso shape has been basically the same during the years, the size of the case has been ever so different. From the very small vintages, the a bit bigger but still small classics, the rounded sports, the extra grand classics, to the square squadras!
One of my dreams is to one day having a vintage Reverso…
The black one JLC use to put in their print outs, the one with only minute and hour hands, and the only text written on the dial are “REVERSO”… You all know which one I am talking about! J
Yes, that would be awesome! But it will probably be a dream that never comes true...
It is actually very strange that so similar watches feel so different on your wrist. Not only because of size and looks but also depending on your mood.
The Classic GT feels on a good day very nice and delicate. Discrete, almost like you have a treasure around your wrist that no one else knows about! J
On a bad day it feels small and anonymous. Almost as if you would be better without… L
The Sport feels on a good day tough and with an edge. Bold and daring, especially with the grey dial! J
On a bad day it feels tiny and obsolete… L
The Classic XGT feels on a good day like a superb classic, makes you feel like a real connoisseur! J
On a bad day it feels to big, like if you magnify some thing perfect out of proportions. L
The Squadra feels on a good day like you are on top of the world, here I am and I am in the game! J
On a bad day it feels like a brick, bouncing in to every thing, always in the way of everything. L
But I must confess – most days are a good day with a Reverso on your wrist! J
The Reverso has been fascinating watch nuts all over the world since it was born almost 80 years ago. What is it about the Reverso that makes us so fascinated?
I don’t know. When people ask me to describe the Reverso, the closest I have been able to compare it with is a Japanese zen garden.
With every move something conceals and something new reviles. Even tough the garden remains exactly the same it feels like its changing in infinite.

Blomman, you are really keeping me entertained!
Respo – I suspect that there is no…
Thanks Rob!
If watches were perfect, they would be boring, Blomman.
Nicolas - You are right as always!
