What I like most about this beauty is how "clean" it is. Usually fine skeletons are cluttered and have too much details for my taste. I assume that its hands, tourbillon and the other movement parts look like "floating" over the wrist.
Thank you for the story, Nicolas!

Pleasure of the Day: Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso Tourbillon Skeleton.
I already posted it, but from time to time, facing a beauty is not unpleasant, is it?
This Reverso achieves a miracle: I am not fan of Tourbillons, nor Skeletons.
But here...
If you add the GT case in platinum, plus the cabochon on the top of the crown, you just have a marvel which has just one inconvenient: Its scarcity. I didn't see one for sale for years, now.
Which is not that surprising, since only 35 pieces were made, in 2004...

Well, this one...
When I think that I had the opportunity to get one, some 8 years ago...
But I would have to pass on the MMR Ti, so, finally, I don't regret my choice. The only thing I regret is to not have been able to get both of them...

Your Time Will Come!
Thank you for sharing this landmark Reverso; what a vision to start my Miami morning!
As a long-time admirer of the great Platinum No. 2, I understand the combination of awe and longing that you feel. It's a fusion of wonder at the improbable packaging and aching desire to draw closer to its beauty.
Someday... envision it, and believe that dreams come true!

I am a naturally optimistic guy, but here, that is some ambition. ;)
Duometres first!

Nicolas, a tad rational, sadly, too.
There is one at the JLC Heritage Gallery, if you visit the Manufacture. [nt]

I remember the 1st time I saw it (even though not live) many years ago, Nicolas.
And being mesmerized!
I will tell you a story...
I bought the Reverso Platinum Nr 2 in late 2003. In late 2004, I saw this one at the all new JLC Boutique, in Paris.
My immediate feeling was: " But why didn't I wait one more year and get this one, instead "?
A killer beauty...
Best,
Nicolas
Well, you didn't know it was coming, did you?

No, indeed, I didn't know. I would probably have made a different choice. [nt]

Not much fan of skeleton.........
But THIS one is awesome. Definitely by far my favourite and the fact that JLC has used blue corundum (jewels) instead of red, is a very nice, subtle touch.
Grande classe!
Cheers and thank you for the picture my friend.
Francois
Absolutely, François. This is another elegant detail.
Definitely one of the three finest skeletons I know.
The first one being a certain ding dong Vacheron...

The Jewel in the Crown
Wishing you a happy celebration for the 14 juillet. With the hope that the spirit of 1789 will leave on! (it is sadly not the case right now).
Cheers my friend
