Yep, Marcelo I love this combo
I love so much this combo that I was lucky enough to get it on a special edition of the Breguet Type XX, in platinum with this salmon dial...
And when I bought it ( the Breguet ), it made me thnik a lot about this Reverso AD...
Indeed an impressive finish.
Best, and once again, thanks for the nice comments, my friend;

REVERSO ART DECO, THE REVIEW.
The Reverso Art Deco: From the early 90's till the end of the 2d Millenary, JLC produced some of the nicest Reversos ever made, in an astonishing LE of 500 pieces: first, the 60eme, to commemorate as it deserves a watch that without doubt had to be called...
Dear Torquemada
I'm just writing you to tell that my life has gained new meaning ..... :0) The finish of movement is astonishing!!!! Thank you again for great review Sincerely Damian
Damian,I'd love to be tortured this way...LOL
Which one? The WG or the RG? Will you answer??? NO? Ok, other pics! LOLOLOL Best, my friend. Nicolas
Amigo........
You constantly tempt us with these extraordinary beauties from JLC.What a wonderful review of some of the finest Reversos I've seen! I am still reeling from the sights and sounds of the JLC cocktail this evening to unveil the Polaris, so kindly arranged b...
Thanks for your input, Fernando
So you were at the cocktail? Did you managed to take pics? Yep, I'm a luvky man, and totally enaored with my MMR... But there are so many treasures to discover or re dicover, like this Art Deco... I was truely impressed by this Reverso, and yes, if I had ...
Good choice, the Art Deco.
In my haste, I forgot to bring my camera. Next time,for sure. Cheers Fernando
Speaking as a Reverso fan.
Your reviews on the subject are a beauty to go through. I never realised that JLC made a Reverso minute repeater! All of the watches in the collection are phenomenal! Jaeger le Coultre should do a Patek and construct a museum of some kind, particularly on...
As for the origins of the Reverso
What I understood here is that Jager build the movement, and bought the system of the case from Mr Alfred Chauvot, in 1931.... Here is the Reverso Patent: You're absolutely right, in the 30's, some other brands made some Reversos watches, like Patek Phili...
Nicolas, it was a Great
enjoyable time to meet you and to discuss about watches. You are a passionate man and I am very pleased to have met you. Thanks for the nice macros. Now, I have discovered fine details that I could not see in real, even with my glasses. You are also an AR...
Nicolas, you have now outdone yourself!....
To show the entire LE Reverso series and the Art Deco--incredible! As you know, I have a leaning toward the Reverso and those you have shown are among the finest and my favorites. To own the set of all of the LEs would be quite exciting. Thanks for the vi...
If I had all the money...
I would want to own the Perpetual, the Geographique, the Chrono, and the Art Deco. Some of the most beautiful watches in the world and I'm sure challenging for a designer/engineer to package into a small space like the Reverso GT case. Thanks Nicholas for...
Nice write up my friend, I had the pleasure of owning this beauty
since 1996 and really loved it (albeit the size). It's worth mentioning that if you like the dial and find the movement too extravagant, you may wish to look at a steel version made for a Japanese retailer known as the "Chino Reverso". It had the Art Deco...
Yep, my friend, I know the Story
And feel very sad for you, as your JLC collection was very impressive! As for the Chino Reverso, I saw it somewhere, here, I think, but I don't remember if it also have this nice finish of the movement... Thanks for the nice comments, my friend. Catch you...
All I have to say is that this Reverso Art Deco…
…in white gold and salmon rose dial may be the most elegant watch I’ve ever seen!!! Breathtaking!!! Thanks for such a beautiful, inspired and pleasant review, Nicolas. Marcelo
Question about finishing of movement
Thanks for a great profile of a great watch. I think if I ever do get a Reveso, the Art Deco might be the one. I have only seen photos of the AD, but it looks absolutely beautiful. The Rose Gold AD is definitely my favorite Reverso, and you are right that...
Ref # of Perpetual Calendar
Nicolas, wonderful review of the Art Deco and RG Reversos, really beautiful pieces! Can you give me a reference number for the Perpetual Calendar Reverso? Also, I've been looking around online and seem to come up with a different ref number for the Art De...
I never knew they re-introduced it,,,
Here is the page from an old catalouge - Nico is right,,,,,as usual Asi This message has been edited by Asimut on 2008-05-28 07:13:04...
thanks
Roger that, thanks much Asi. By the way, in your opinion would you prefer a platinum Reserve de March Reverso or the RG Art Deco Reverso if costs were equal?
Thanks for sharing..
It always never ceases to amaze me on how they can "squeeze" so much complications into such a small watch case. On the more "down to earth" side, i am still deeply attracted by the reverso grande date w/ eight days,hope to get it one day Regards, Ken
My favorite Reverso of all, and one that I'd love to try on . . .
. . . with my wallet safely locked up ;-) . . . while I normally prefer white metals, this is one of those rare exceptions where the rose version adds a dimension of warmth that doesn't overwhelm the overall design . . . cordially, Art
Maravilloso
Thanks very mucho for the pics, for all the review. It is marvellous. The reverso is not only an incon, is pure art.
A great review... as usual !
with that amount of work you make us other modreators look lazy ;-) Cheers Jeff
How sensitive of JLC...
...to the true ethos of the era to mint a salmon dial model in the WG case: there is a true deco touch. It evokes the frosted pastel glass of the era; satin dresses; the colours of Art Deco pottery: names like Chanel, Lalique, Moorcroft: (credit: ragoarts...
