Good set of releases
It's pleasing to see the chronograph back in the Reverso lineup, it remains a relatively attainable marvel of engineering. In addition to the feature revisions, I look forward to learning whether the movement has undergone any technical upgrades. Power reserve is up a bit.
The Gyrotourbillon Hybris Artistica is stunning. Not much to say.
I'd like to see JLC reconsider the possibility of a dual character watch with the tourbillon. This would involve removing the tourbillon window on the recto side (no tourbillon text either), while keeping the verso side as is. At Work vs At Play, while also making the watch less conspicuous when the owner is wearing the watch in a place where theft is a consideration.
The small seconds is a sharp looking, classic Reverso. Overall, the Tribute series has a sharp aesthetic. I hope the Reverso line enjoys some sales momentum in the coming years. These are beautiful watches.
I regret that two years after the Reverso Anniversary, Jaeger Lecoultre did it again, without other " round " offers....
I really like the chronograph, but it's too big
On the flip side (pun intended) the tribute tourbillon and the new versions of the simple one look great.
It’s strange that….
Hodinkee have pics of the steel chronograph with a grey dial….and chronograph hands with full blue rather than the silver tips on the version in the JLC website
I can’t imagine it would be
The grey dial is what I was shown (in picture form) several weeks ago at the boutique including live pics on a wrist…I was somewhat confused by a comment on your JLC wish list thread about the dial being blue but I guess I saw the prototype as the JLC website shows the watch as per your pics
Confused by the UK prices
On the JLC UK website the steel tribute chronograph is listed as £21400 but Hodinkee state $21,400….and the new steel tribute small seconds as £9600 when Hodinkee states it as $9600….for the latter model that’s an £800 premium over the far prettier sunray versions!!! I wonder who has made the mistake
I see on the site that there is also a new white dial tribute small seconds.
For some reason it is not capturing my attention much. Perhaps different story in the metal.
It looks very much like
a Baumé and Mercier Hampton in exactly the same colour combo lol
