This watch has me seeing red! — No, reds PLURAL!

The Burgundy Reverso Small Seconds (2019) is a real chameleon. Though it’s usually a dark brownish-red, like the lees of wine or a dark cranberry, in full sunlight it can be a bright cherry red.  Here are some sample photos which have not been enhanced or color-modified.







I’ve been very happy with this watch.  People do notice it, however, and their most commonly used adjective is, “Gorgeous!”  I can only agree.


Ano “Wait till you see it in sunlight!” Nuevo


[“Seeing red”=An idiom meaning upset, miffed, angry or agitated.  None of which applies to this beautiful watch.]

this dial is amazing !! Kev

Agreed, Wkw. I wonder why JLC doesn’t showcase these beautiful Reverso dials.

For the blue and burgundy Tribute Small Seconds particularly, JLC should feature some GIFs on their website so people could see how light affects these wondrous color-changing dials. Or if not GIFs, at least a few informative still photos. — A.N.

Here’s the original 1931 Rouge [nt]

Very cool! Do you have a red belt or shoes to match?

If I owned this watch, I'd get some red sneakers just to match it! Beautiful watch!

Would my nose count? 🤡

Alas, Patrick, no red shoes in my wardrobe; nor even oxblood. Anyway, I prefer the complementary rather than the matching color strategy. I take Joan Rivers’ advice to heart. When discussing Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress, Joan opined, “I dunno...that dr...  

Ahh, i got a pair of Oxblood shoes! Great color!

That's true, complimenting colors is always more interesting than matching colors! A true sartorial you must be!

As for my sartorial style, Patrick...

I’m so far behind “la mode” that I appear avant-garde! Ano “Trend-setting is SO tiring” Nuevo

Didn’t we meet at the Breguet dinner, after Palace of the Legion of Honor viewing?

I think that was you with the yellow Lambo, right? Ano “My mind could be failing” Nuevo

Well, I got the color right!

I was the sole Reverso wearer, seated mid-table on Jeff’s right side. Btw, is my memory correct, that BOTH a Simplicity AND a Duality were circulated around the group? Or have I embellished reality? That was a nice event. A.N.
