Tiny Watch Machines That Took A Decade To Make | Watchfinder & Co.

  • Thirty years ago, someone somewhere at Jaeger LeCoultre started a tradition that spanned almost a decade. The Reverso, a watch that had saved Jaeger LeCoultre’s bacon not once but twice, had reached its sixtieth birthday, and that’s a fairly justified cause for celebration. That revelry took the form of the Reverso Soixantième, and from there until the year 2000, six special Reversos were created-and we’ve got all six of them.

    The jlc duo reverso was the first luxury watch I ever owned. the next was a master geographic. I was recently in Dubai and stopped in at the jlc store to have a look at the timepieces. I was treated so kindly and given a tour of their shop and shown watches I'd never seen before. Tt the end of the short visit, the salesman noted the master geographic on my wrist and as I was leaving the store, he said, "Thank you for being an ambassador for Jaeger Le-Coultre." Pure class reminding me why love this watch brand.

      @jonmancill6824 6 месяцев назад

      To be honest I don't believe they are underrated at all, but I do understand 100% why you say that. Really it's just an illusion because actually it only appears to be underrated since nobody ever mentions or highlights it like you see everywhere with Rolex and tag sponsorship everywhere such as an F1 race, so all you hear is people talk about how awesome they're Rolex or patek Philippe is and how you just can't get better than that. But truth is we in the know, the true watch lovers, are the only ones that really even know and have an understanding of what genius these JLC complicated reversos are. I actually just look at it from the point of view of that is just something special we keep ourselves and the ordinary everyday people wouldn't even be able to understand what's involved in engineering or something master class as these timepieces. I'd say it's meant to be this way since the production of only 500 is very low compared to the millions of submariners and speedmasters that are somewhat Mass manufactured losing what makes something unique and special

    The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso is a beautiful timepiece. I had owned a 1997 model that was an 18K gold tank in a stainless carriage with a black crocodile strap. A criminal owns it now or they sold it. It was stolen along with several other great timepieces including a LeCoultre alarm clock, a LeCoultre Wristalarm, three Omegas, an IWC, a micro rotor automatic Hamilton, even a Snoopy model where a tennis racket and tennis ball displayed the time on a blue Jean background, also the very first Swatch Watch produced.

    I’ve always known about JLC but in the past few years and after seeing a few of your videos, I’ve become a serious fan. I doubt I’ll ever own one - certainly not one of these - but I now regard them very much as a grail watch. At a time when Rolex makes a tiny tweak to the script on the face or a slight change to the level of polishing to justify the annual price increase, these guys are just getting on with real watchmaking. And that impresses me a lot more.
