Very good analysis @AndreasEU about energy consumption. A solar quartz watch is the clear winner here. I would still add to this equation the impact of global logistics. If it is possible, local production is better in that regard. And as for outsourcing some parts of the watch, global supply chains are complex and tackling scope-3 emissions is still its infancy. Moreover, one cannot exclude a possibility of unethical manufacturing processes (such as conflict minerals used in the watch).
Thanks for comments! I have several watches so I cannot imagine wearing/winding my Reverso every day... I guess if the watchmaker introduces a quartz model, it is of high standards and I cannot possibly dislike its accuracy and affordability to maintain. Every Reverso carries the JLC legacy and timeless design (which is the main point to get the watch anyway - if you love art deco).
As another alternative, I would pick up Rotary Henley GMT. I haven't gotten one yet but I've read that quality is pretty good for the price (less than ยฃ200 sometimes). Of course, if you are just into mere design of the watch.
