    Hamilton made a “Reverso” under JLC license from ‘38-‘40. Exclusively for the american market, It was called the Otis.

    • @MostEasterlySteve
      @MostEasterlySteve Před 3 lety +2

      No, Hamilton and JLC made these watches independently using the same case design patent (in fact the patent was neither a JLC nor a Hamilton innovation). However JLC sued Hamilton and after a three year legal battle Hamilton withdrew the Otis.

    I'd really like a Reverso Duoface. Any version of that would be great. they are probably the most elegant way of handling a second time zone I know of along with giving two different looks in one watch.

    I just picked up my first Reverso last week - a Classic Medium Small Seconds. I've been a long time admirer of the Reverso and it exceeds all expectations. The level of finishing on the case and dial really put my Rolex and Omegas to shame really. An absolutely stunning piece of horological history and with the right strap it can be dressed up or down.

    I have the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Memory Ref# 255.5.82 that is same size as this one. I have had it for about 2 years now. At first, I definitely thought it was a little too small for my 8" wrist. HOWEVER, after a few months, I have grown to absolutely LOVE the size of mine. I did purchase the new Reverso Grande ref# 3988482 - 2 face with the blue face and white face in steel. THAT watch is one of my grails. But the smaller Memory seems to flip over easier and smoother that the steel version. I admit the Grande fits my wrist better, but that Memory is just wonderful!

  • @wordsmithgmxch
    @wordsmithgmxch Před 3 lety +1

    I love my J-L Reverso Grande Taille, which is my everyday (though non-grunge) wearer. It's stainless, i.e. not gold, so it's possible to make that argument -- just. The blued steel hands I learned to appreciate from Brequet. The silver, wave-pattern guilloché dial face just never gets old. Its only complication is a small seconds to tip me off if it stops. The armband has been showing its age lately, so yesterday I went into town for a replacement. When I got back home, my partner asked if I'd been successful and how much it cost. "I'm not saying," I told her. "But of course this is a top-notch, luxury brand, so just take what you'd expect it to cost -- and double it."

    I think i found my new grail watch. Initially i was obsessed with divers for the functionality of it but i never owned a dress watch nor do i have one in a square/rectangle shape. The reverso is something I personally do not see many people wearing where I’m from; I live in a beach town hence my preference of divers. I think this will be something i buy for my own 30th bday
