Very classic
It is fun to compare the predecessor and the successor. It highlights the essential features of the Sun Moon: art deco styling, markers for the second hand rotated -90°, not to mention the simple, but unique combination of complications. I would be curious to see a picture of the movement.
Do you know when JLC started and stopped producing Sun Moon Reverso pictured?
This is a very beautiful piece that you have, I might add, especially in rose gold. Thank you for sharing!
Pictures of the Reverso Sun Moon
I thought I might contribute some scans of the Grande Reverso Sun Moon (in SS), since there do not seem to be many on the web. Perhaps this will interest JLC enthusiasts as well as potential buyers. Without doubt, the Reverso Sun Moon is a very elegant wa...
Kit, things are simple for me
The Grande Sun Moon is an Iconic watch, to me. The dial is awesome, the finish and the decoration of the movement is very nice, the complications are friendly, and the volumes of this Reverso are perfect. Therefore, if youn add the comfort on the wrist an...
Great photos of a great watch.
I always wish that JLC would make a new mainstream Reverso combining all of their Grande range complications into one. Now that would be something.
Agreed!
Most conspicuously, the Grande Sun Moon lacks a date indication. So long as it could fit in a reasonable sized case, the model you suggest would be sublime!
Just to add the iconic original....
The 18K RG Sun Moon Reverso--one of the original beauties from JLC: My favorite (but it is mine and I am biased) but the Grande Sun Moon carries forward the DNA of the original quite well. tempusfugit...

was discontinued in about 2005. I am not sure when it was originally manufactured. Someone else may know the date it originated. I do not have at hand a movement photo but I borrowed a very nice one from M. Silverman here (I hope he approves): It is a gor...

but I believe the production ceased in '01 (possibly '00). -Dean
I respectfully have to dissent, Dean!
The Sun Moon can still be found in the Book of Timepieces 2004/2005. The LE Platinum Sun Moon was introduced 2003. And I recall once seeing a Sun Moon with the fish engraved on the back, which was not introduced for the Reverso range before 2004 (but I am...

discontinuation of production as occurring about 2005. tempusfugit
Aaaah, Tempusfugit, the original Sun Moon is
A Superb one! As you said, the spirit of this watch is kept in the new one, just re interpreted in a modern way. Best, Nicolas
I particularly like the embelishment on the movement
Done in a very tasteful and interesting manner I feel. The RG model for this interests me and I may consider this to match my wife's JLC.
Yes, the decoration on the movement is stunning, and original
RG is a great metal for the Reverso. Which JLC does your wife wear?
Its brother says "hi".
I've been wearing this watch as often as three days a week since September 2006. Certainly one of my favourites. Ruckdee...
Thanks for the compliment, kit. Here's how I did it.
Four pieces of white foam boards and a DSLR with hot shoe mounted flash. Lay one board flat down and place watch on top. Place the other three pieces vertically on the left, the right and the top to create an open box. Point the flash up straight so that ...
beautiful watch indeed..
and a picture from its sister from France ! and the cousins also...
Another very nice picture!
Although at first glance, I thought the beauty might have fallen apart And a wonderful collection. Thank you for sharing. I also really enjoyed your post on that Geomatic's history! It's great to see the family resemblance in your picture.
