Jaeger-LeCoultre

...as he has diligently kept us up to date on forthcoming Reverso anniversary models.  That got me to thinking...I've owned a few and never felt they were just right.  The 46's are too bulky--I can't pull them off.  And the 42's didn't inspire me.  So when I stumbled on this one, I thought it might be perfect. 

And I fear I was right.  It's the 42mm "Art Deco", produced in 900 copies (rose gold) and 200 (white gold).  The movement is ornately decorated and simply beautiful to behold.  And the dial is right out of the Reverso history books.  Simple dagger markers, proper square subdial and a minimal amount of printed information. 

Now, I don't have to struggle with which anniversary model I might fancy.  This one suits me just fine.  Best, Ken in NYC

Congrats on the wonderful watch. My wife is the proud owner of one of the two hundred white gold pieces. She absolutely loves it. It wears well with jeans or a dress. She especially loves the JLC understated look. Nobody has a clue what it is (except for those in the know). I am seriously inclined to get a leather strap so that I can wear it from time to time myself.

 Here is a quick shot of the exotic flip side.

congrats again,

Sancerre

I think we can blame Nico for all of our watch problems, don't you?

--Sancerre

Agreed that this Art Déco is one of the most tempting, Ken...

But I would not underate the power of attraction of the latest Reverso.

Too bulky, you said?

Wait to see the slightly inferior proportions ( compared to an XGT ) and the MUCH slimmer case.

Best, my friend, and thanks for the blame.

St Nicolas.

I will not look, I will not look, I will not look...

Nicolas,

I am back from the cold Warsaw winter and relatively happy with myself.

We can meet any time you wangt and as early as tomorrow for lunch if you want. On me of course. Need to make sure our beloved moderator is well treated, notably before the SIHH. We need to see you fit and well feed, least you start forgetting things.

We have to talk, notably about Santa Claus (another thing you could potentially be blamed for)

Best regards,

George

Tomorrow if you want, my friend.

PM?

Best,

Nicolas.

Agreed, one of the nicest Reversos.  Post more pics when you get a chance (front and back).

Congratulations!

This beauty looks perfect for you.

We are all victims of Nico, who can resist his constant onslaught?

Best,

Goh

EVER produced: simple, time-only dial, gorgeous back. I really wish JLC would reproduce THIS dial on a future series.

... the Art Deco dial has very gorgeous look, great catch indeed.

yes, agreed with you. all of us here are constantly tempted by Nico.

Stunning Reverso!

 

How I understand you.

 

Vald is to blame for most of things that happened in my watch box lately…!
