JLC Reverso Stories

If you're near the NYC area, I recommend visiting the JLC Reverso Stories exhibit. It's very well done with plenty to see, and a tour guide providing historical details along the way. You can also download an audio guide or use a QR code located on the description of the artifacts. The exhibition is free but you have to register online, and I believe it ends on the 22nd.

I opted to pay for the Watchmaker Experience. It isn't anything fancy, you assemble an empty case. They do let you try on different Reverso models and go a bit more in depth about the watchmaking process than the main exhibit. They have actual watchmakers guide you through the assembly and talk about all the labor involved, enameling, engraving, etc. They were very pleasant and engaged with my group. After you're done, you get a tote bag, a certificate, and a token for a free drink at the cafe 1931 Cafe.

9/10, highly recommend. There's plenty more to see, these were just the best pictures I was able to take.

Thanks! I also went to the Planet Omega exhibit so it was a great day.

Agree, it’s a very nice exhibit and worth a visit. The chef at the reverso café Nina Métayer has apparently won pastry chef of the year twice. So go for the watches but leave room for dessert

I forgot about that! Unfortunately, I had to rush out of there to pick up family from the airport so I didn't get any dessert. It's just another reason to go back!
