Jaeger-LeCoultre

As usual, I am late to the party.

I had been hoping to get one of these for quite a while.  The Tribute to 1931 Reverso in all of its variants has appealed to me strongly since the original launch, but the Rouge emerged as the one that speaks the most to me and adds something very interesting to my collection.  I am happy that the Rouge seems to have gained some popularity among the Purists.

Maybe some of you other Rouge fans will post photos of yours...

Cheers,

respo

... to arrive to this Red Fiesta!

Here I answer to your call. Mine bought in 2011 at the Milano Boutique and photographed at Portofino...

Enjoy yours in good health! Cordial regards, Abel.

I like the background for your Rouge much better!  Beautiful shot!  I recently reread a post you made about getting your Rouge, and it was inspirational as I was deciding on mine.  So, thank you for the encouragement!

Best,

respo

... contribute with adding a little fire to your desire to own this beautifuly unique watch!

Enjoy it so much!
Abel.

I remember the first reactions when the Rouge was unveiled. Strong, undisputably. Some loved it at first sight, others hated it, at first time, too.

No indifference, though.

Huge congratulations, Respo. This is a Watch made for you!

Best,

Nicolas

I appreciate your kind words.

I agree, there is little indifference to the Rouge.  I am glad you think it is a watch made for me. 

Your photos of the Rouge, especially from your "test drive" post were also inspirational to me in my decision. Thank you!

Best regards,

respo

... mouth watering even to those who already own this watch! Superb!

That little big detail of a red handle cup kills me!

Un abrazo fuerte! Abel.

It looks fab with Those cuff links too!   A detail you never mentioned before!  Enjoy in the best of health!

Didn't I mention those cuff links?  ;-)

Well, you pushed me over the edge on this one, so the blame falls largely on you.  Do you recall that I tried the Rouge on at the watch show in Philly in September 2013?  And then subsequently you have shown me yours, so it was only a matter of time.

I am a weak, weak man.  :-(

Best always,

respo

Indeed the Rouge does add a bit of "spice" to your fantastic collection!

Yes, it does add some spice to the collection.

it certainly adds a bit of spice to the collection! When you come to think about it, how many red dial watches in good taste are there out there? Can't think of one.

cheers

I was trying to thin of any other red dial watch I could wear, and could not come up with one other than the Rouge.  I love that this watch sports a red dial but remains so elegant and refined.

It was about time you joined us with the red, Respo!

Yes, it was about time.  But I typically arrive late to the party, so not surprising for me.  

Congrats! better late than never, especially with this great piece.
