Greetings All -   Just wanted to share my newly arrived JLC Reverso Grande Automatique.  Love the dual zone feature, especially with my company's second office in India.  the day/night indicator is tied to the second timezone hand, while the date is tied to the main 'blue' hand. the watch is a wonderful addition to my Grand Reverso Ultra Thin.  obviously the Grande Automatique is a lot chunkier than my Ultra Thin but nice to wear a watch with a different personality during the work day, and then a more relaxed two hand watch in the evening....  now on to the hunt for a bracelet for the watch....

A discontinued watch and case, as the XGT were replaced by the Grande Reverso.

Now you have both of them.

Bravo.

Best,

Nicolas

thanks for the info, Nicolas.   i knew about the discontinuation of the model but not the case as well!l!

yea it is a relative bargain...i agree!!  Also like the Reverso tourbillon that you posted EXCELLENT pictures of in the past.  very classic and refined.  wouldn't mind having TWO  Reverso tourbillons; one with an 'exposed' tourbillon (a la GYROtourbillon) and the other with 'just' tourbillon on the dial.

What a pair it would make!

Best,

Nicolas

Congratulation!

would at least like to see the bracelet mounted on the watch but its very expensive for just a bracelet.  maybe ill try on a different Reverso with that bracelet and use my imagination.!!

...good looking in every editions. Congrats!

great watch to wear...chunk(ier) size takes some getting used to but well worth it!

It looks great on your wrist. May your new Reverso always time happy moments for you 

for your kind words, Robin!

it's movement is the "Autotractor," which is the most robust movement JLC has made so far. It's also, besides the Ludwig Perpetual, one of the only grande date models that can go forwards OR backwards. I was really hoping for JLC to continue "Grande Date" models (especially the XGT Reversos - the Grande GMT being my favorite), and wanted to see one put into a Master Control, but, alas, it seems it's not to be with the current trend back to thin models.

Congrats! This is also the only flat-back XGT Reverso, which gives you a nice canvass for an engraving.

thanks for all that info Dean....i really had no idea about the autotractor movement.  

the blue "hometime" hand will stay put and the "local" main silver hand can go forwards AND backwards and the Grande Date moves smoothly in both directions. It's really a brilliant movement and this was the only grande date version of the Autotractor. The only thing it doesn't do is to allow for 1/2 hour variations (like India).
