Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Soixantième. The return of a legend.

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-01:16
A couple of unpublished pictures of this Reverso Soixantième, which was the first of the Reverso Saga, to celebrate the 60th birthday of the icon. An harmonious asymmetry, made with great care. Enjoy, Nicolas ...  

I'm pretty certain that I have never seen this one before - the dial and hands are beautiful. The date ring is very nicely thought through. Thanks for sharing my friend :) [nt]

I have to confess that it took some time for me to warm up... [nt]

😁 😁 😁 [nt]

Nice watch. Very well executed! Thanks for sharing. [nt]

My pleasure, J K. Thanks for looking. [nt]

Great watch! Yours Mon Ami? Any pics of that 14K gold movement? [nt]

 
 By: patrick_y : May 23rd, 2020-01:37

Your wish is my command.

Lovely! I remember being a very young teenager, looking at this watch, and thinking it was the coolest thing! Great picture! [nt]

 
 By: patrick_y : May 23rd, 2020-09:38

Merci, Patrick. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-18:17

Very nice. I wonder how that would've looked like without the small seconds at 6 (nt)

..

Maybe it would ruin the whole harmony of the dial? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-02:32

True. Might leave a void at the bottom making it top heavy (nt)

 
 By: Echi : May 23rd, 2020-03:00
..

Yes, it is a design thing... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-03:06

Only Panerai can get away with a top heavy design :-) (nt)

..

True! ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-03:12

And there is a charm to the days snaking around the dial (nt)

 
 By: Echi : May 23rd, 2020-03:01
..

Another way to describe it is " harmonious mess ", I think. [nt]

Gorgeous watch. I love the date round the dial and little red pointer but...

...like you with dates, my bete noir is power reserve indicators. I hate them. What’s the point of them? If you’re going to wear your watch just wind it up. These days it’s the only exercise I get. Regards Kev.

Here, the power reserve is not long, and it is a manual winding movement, hence its interest... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-04:06

Very nice

Was just rummaging through the 2001 JLC catalogue yesterday which this Reverso was featured in. Beautiful piece.

Yes, exact. Thanks for commenting and welcome here, by the way. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-06:12

So much going on in so little space. [nt]

 
 By: aperna : May 23rd, 2020-06:38

That's not the most complicated of the series, though... [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 23rd, 2020-06:41

Love the asymmetry of this, but...

 
 By: mdg : May 23rd, 2020-10:02
...the date is a bit 'forced.' I.e. printing '13' twice and having both a dot for '18' and printing '18' as well. And then they have some dates right-reading and others flipped 180-degrees. I know this is a common convention (that drives me crazy) but it ... 

I think they had to deal with some design challenges, indeed. Thanks for your feedback, mdg. [nt]

Superb Reverso & this version is most definitely a legend

 
 By: jml_watches : May 23rd, 2020-15:51
One that would be great to have A stunning dial & I really like double 13 on the date Cheers JML

Thanks, JML. It clearly is a legend, and the start of a legendary saga, as well. [nt]
