A Pair of Jaeger LeCoultre Double Dates
Here's two recent additions to my collection, and my first post to the forum.
I haven't seen anyone else draw the connection between the original Double Date models and the modern Reverso which clearly is a tribute. I know a few others on the forum own vintage double dates, I think they are more popular here than anywhere else on the internet. Cheers!
Nice quadruple date there
Nice picture and I am sure I am not the only one to have a soft sport for this offset day window
Welcome!
Thank you!
I like the offset date, gives it a little wabi-sabi charm. Also, it means the day window is never blocked by the hands, which definitely happens on the vintage model. So there is a practical reason for the change!
Beautiful. What is the reference on the Reverso? I have not seen that before, I really like it
And welcome here! It is a great forum, nice first post!
It's a lesser known model, only produced for a few years.
Mine was originally purchased in 2001 in Tokyo.

An ad that featured this Reverso alongside a Lange 1. From WatchTime magazine, October 2000. Quite the comparison!
Welcome here, first. I have to congratulate you for your impeccable taste. These two calendars, coming from different ages, are sublime.
Here are some pictures I could take of them.
A bigger triple calendar but I guess you will not complain ( Ref 2721 )
Here a couple of double date:
And a superb Reverso Calendar in rose gold:

What a collection!
Each one of your examples is a dream. The Reverso in rose gold completely changes the character of the watch, so much more refined than the everyday steel. Also, the black dial rectangular double date is spectacular. I am actively searching for that same model, but as you know they are few and far between.
What do you think of this dial?
Your brown sector dial is quite unique, I was lucky to find this salmon dial from a dealer in France. Have you seen any other like it? I have seen salmon dials on triple dates, so it doesn't surprise me that they might exist.
The brown dial, I saw it only once. Never again... As for your salmon dial, I never saw one like this. Very cool!

I saw a black double date some months ago. A jewel. I will open my eyes for you. Alas, none of these are mines. I used to own the Triple Date Black Ref 2721.

Then it really is a "dream" collection!
Thanks anyway for the pictures, they are an inspiration.
