Jaeger-Le-Coultre Reverso DuoFace Calender

Popped into the JLC boutique on London Bond street yesterday and drawled over a couple of pieces.

I was then nugged over to the Reverso's. Whilst I liked the design and massively appreciate the reverso line, I previously didn't see me seriously adding one to the collection.

The very knowledgeable lady presented this Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar. I mean just look at it ๐Ÿ˜

This piece is a thin of beauty. The craftsmanship , the detail, the fact its a fidget spinner!! Even the dark blue leather strap just oozed quality. I want it, so much I'm considering selling some of my other pieces to finance one. At 14K clearly an expensive piece. I feel like my taste has evolved.

Seeing JLC in the metal, this brand is SO under appreciated its criminal. What do you guys think. I'd be interested to know.

No i expect the value to drop a fair bit. I feel this is a piece you buy with your heart rather than the worry of residuals. I do like the fact its a quality brand, the watch makers watchmaker and unlikely to be recognised outside of us watch nutters

ยท

lol

ยท

agreed. i would certainly look around for a good deal before pulling the trigger

ยท

Stunning looking watch ,my friend has a vintage one ,the quality is superb and even better in the flesh

ยท

Fantastic choice! You cannot go wrong with a JLC and certainly never with a Reverso.

I love both of my Grande Reversos...

Beautiful watches, a real under the radar watch, but a classic!

Agreed. The other one I had on was a perpetual calender in gold, egg shell dial

I would love have both.

I have been reading up on this watch, at one point thinking about this versus the Mariner Memovox... still leaning toward the duo face calendar model shared by OP for my next big purchase which will be a milestone piece for me. JLC makes stunning watches.

There is something very special about wearing a reverso. I adore mine.

Magnificent ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Definitely one of the luxury brands where I wouldn't argue about the price. These watches are beautiful.

ยท

That may be my grail, and I don't use the word grail lightly. I'd settle for any duoface.

ยท

Gorgeous timepiece.

Beautiful piece my friend. I envy you!

That is an absolutely gorgeous piece, as is typical with the Reverso.

I've considered adding a blue dial Reverso Tribute DuoFace to my collection, however I don't think I'd wear it enough to make it worthwhile. I've had a Reverso Squadra Hometime for a couple of years, and it hardly gets any wrist time, but I do enjoy admiring it. It's not the traditional Reverso rectangular shape, but it's unmistakably a Reverso. I really appreciate that the reverse side shows off the movement.

One of my grail watch candidates. Fell in love with it when I tried it on at a JLC boutique. Part of the process was probably the service as well, the SA I had there was super polite and knowledgable. Didn't feel like I was being sold to and made me respect JLC as a brand even more.

I wish they made the Reverso Tribute Green in a Duoface. Would've probably already bought it a long time ago!

Your experience is same as mine. They were not pushy I didn't feel like they weretrying to push me Into to a purchase. The floor staff clearly knew about the brand bir more of the technical nerdy stuff we speak about. They had my respect purely in this alone. I see a JLC in my future collection for sure
