From 2012 to 2016, Jaeger Lecoultre sent me some watches to test them for a while. The Tribute To Reverso Red, in 2012: The Deep Sea Chronograph Cermet in 2013: The Duomètre Unique Travel Time, during a memorable trip in South California, in 2013: The Tri

One was recently auctioned ( Antiquorum ). Not so bad, but the dial is let's say tired. The hands are correct, as Dauphine hands existed for this model, but the dots on the glass keeper are not here anymore. Now, the Good: Everything is here, the dial is

It keeps changing its focus (RIP Geophysic, Polaris line is odd, now "haute" horology again, Atmos is not svelte nor does it have consistent design language, master line has far too many models, keep changing sizes of Reverso line, and on and on) But I lo
