I bought my wife a reverso 5 years ago for our anniversary I was so jealous and she returned the favor this year. I’m a watch enthusiast and have owned many Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Tudor and now I’m a proud owner of a Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar. 49.4x29.9 mm What I love about it the most is that it’s a self wind so it’s much more personal. You have a closer relationship with your watch because you need to constantly wind the watch. It’s wonderful to hear the pallet tic as you wind the watch. It’s my favorite watch. This gentleman is right, it was made to be a sports watch but here in America, we wear it as a dress watch since it has a beautiful leather band. They only use leather from an Argentinian leather company. So even JLC uses the best parts for their time pieces. JLC, a watchmakers watch. Just a small bit of criticism. Please look into getting a manicure my French friend. It will be more appealing to your subscribers like me. I’m a new subscriber. Thank you
Nekkid posted a video on this same watch about a week ago. I had never seen one before. You and him both do such great work, I love both your channels and all the other guys too. Keep up the great work.
These are such stunning watches, I wish I could afford one. I really liked the shot at 19:50 with the close up of the dial. Beautiful detail on that dial
Having restored the Reverso, how would you characterise the level of finishing it had? It's a bit difficult to see beveling etc from the video. I've always wondered how well the Reversos are finished since you don't see it. Do you think they do handfinishing or is it all machines with JLC?
JLC has some very nice finishes and some less good. It will depends on the year (era) and the caliber used. The once I used on the video is a standard Reverso so there are better finishes on other models
Love the Reverso, it's truly an art piece. I was wondering if you know where I might get technical drawings of the Reverso (with accurate measurements)? I want to make a 3D printed model the size of a small clock, for my bedside or wall.
une question, s’il vous plait: est-ce que le movement 822.a2 avec 19 rubis on peut les trouver sul l’arbre de le barilet de charge, une pour chaque face? Merci beaocoup…
A more practical mind would've just gotten a flexible strap or bracelet on his/her ordinary watch and turned the watch dial side facing down during a round of Polo, but where's the Sport in that? 😋
I've had one for about a decade. These are amazing watches and even with the tiny and thin movement, you rarely have to set the time. Some years ago I had a vintage one and I kept the bracelet which I've put on my classique. It's a great everyday watch which doubles as a discrete and attractive bracelet.
Great video! Only video I’ve found of servicing a reverso
Thank you

Yes the brush finish on the dial is so nice
Beautiful job once more. Thanks a lot.
Thank you
Nice work, enjoyed the video! The watch design is outstanding and a bit weird. For the rich ones only :)
Yes it is a very unique design
Great work! ! I'd love to see the same service on a reverso duoface! Thank you!
Thank you
Great video

No clue to be fair
What a great idea...
What size and type of screwdriver do you use to unscrew the screws connecting the lugs to the caseback?
I use Horotec screwdriver but I don't remember the size for these screws
@@FrenchWatchCollector Thank you!

Je ne sais pas. Je ne connais pas tout les calibres par cœur
@@FrenchWatchCollector merci...

Ah Reverso 🙏👍🇨🇭⌚
Toujours aussi beau une reverso
The Sport of POLO even :)
Nice job! Coincidence that you and Joe both did a reverse recently! Which movement holder are you using for such small ones?
I use the small one from bergeon
How much is this watch right now ? Where can buy one ?
You can go on website like chrono24 and you will find some
A more practical mind would've just gotten a flexible strap or bracelet on his/her ordinary watch and turned the watch dial side facing down during a round of Polo, but where's the Sport in that? 😋
Hahah. That is a good solution but maybe a little bit less panache
Well it was done in 1923 or thereabouts, flexible straps and bracelets didn't really exist yet

I feel sorry for the watch when you snap it back like that. You are supposed to slide it in place horizontally, not snapping it vertically.
It's a Jäger, not a cheche... [Yay=Gr].
Soory but being a french suisse brand the pronunciation is right. Look an official video from Jaeger and you will see how they say it
In the Netherlands it’s pronounced “tie-mex”
