Which is your favorite Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso model so far?
The vintage tourbillon!
This duoface would be an obvious choice.
No idea yet, need to learn more about it :)
The classic.. large with small seconds!
The Quadriptypue and then the duoface
Great work on this one Marko! The Duoface offers one of the coolest "wow factors" in all the industry from a mainstream brand. Although some of the independents you cover give it a run for its money, it is still a great conversation starter and one of my favorites. Keep up the good work buddy!
Thank you so much Teddy, appreciate your time and checking out the video :). Keep crushing it my friend!
Teddy!!
Oh yes it is a great conversation starter💪🏽
JLC, the most underrated watch brand in the world. I love them, especially the master control and the Reverso.
Agreed.
I have this exact model, plus 3 straps. It's one of those flawless watches. Goes with absolutely any clothing, even t-shirt and jeans. Looks discreet and distinguished at the same time, simply due to its shape. Changes personality entirely depending on which dial you have on and the strap choice. Second time zone with night/day indicated is thoroughly useful, basically a GMT. A great conversation piece, just flick the watch on some excuse and people go "Wow." And unlike previous Reverso models, you can adjust the extra time zone AND remove the strap AND even the buckle with no tool.
I bought this exact model a few months ago and wear it to work often. Hands down this is my favorite watch in my collection. I’ve wanted this one for over a decade and to finally have one (happy 40th birthday to me!!) is the greatest feeling. It will NEVER leave my collection.
Great review, and it looks great on you. You should get one…. At 6’7” and 280lbs you can trust my opinion 😉
Sweet and congrats, always good to hear from an owner! I´ll see, one day I´ll own a Reverso, just gotta choose which one. :)
Congrats- I got the medium version for my 40th a few months ago too! It’s really easy to dress down with a suede strap or beads of rice bracelet but always looks smart.
I own several nice watches and have owned 50+ in the last few years but this is my favourite without any shadow of a doubt. #reversoalliance 😂
I’ve got this in medium. Just swapped the black leather for the brown fagliano. It’s two totally different looks.
Man, you convinced me I will buy one for sure. Excellent presentation just on the subject. Thank you
Thank you!
I just bought this exact model and couldn't be happier with it! My only complaint is that I feel slightly less productive during my work day because I keep staring at it!! Great review 👏
I have the non-duo face. I reckoned its also a duo face, just not a watch face on the other side
Sweet, I know I would be flipping the case around all the time, hard to get some work done haha. Congrats by the way!
Like a luxury fidget spinner 😄
The first watch I bought for myself. Still one of my favourites and wear it frequently!
Sweet and congrats!
Reverso will forever be my favourite watch. Love it.
Glad to hear!
Wow this video was spectacular quality! I watch a lot and this was exceptional thanks!
Thank you Taylor, welcome to the channel :)
Still in love with my JLC Reverso Gran Sport, as it is an automatic with date function on a stunning bracelet. A combination you rarely find these days on a Reverso.
Great piece!
I have been waiting for this video.well done.if I had to choose only one high end watch to buy for the rest of my life it would be the reverso.it has everything.heritage,hourology,craftsmanship,and a affordable price tag.and it comes in many variations.there is a reason they are the watch makers watch maker
Thanks Jerry!
LOve love the Reverso !! Day time casual or night time dressy. Perfect watch !
Awesome review, thank you for the historic notes and well...
I like it Marko, I've been told the actuation of the reversing mechanism is done exactly as you show it, sliding into place not pushing down. Or so the representatives from JLC showed me. Cheers.
One of the only watches that started as a sports watch and ended up as a dress watch. I really love the watch, definitely will add one at some point. Great review Marko 👏
How about Santos/Santos Dumont?
@@chia-mingyang5804 Yeah, I would say the Santos could be put into that Category, while many consider it also still a sports watch due to water resistance.
Yup well said Abdul and thanks for watching!
Another great video, i love Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Joel!
I absolutely LOVE my JLC Geophysic 1958 limited edition. Spectacular piece from an amazing Manufacturer
Awesome!
Accurate review. I've got exactly the same watch (and the same wrist size). Two things I would add.
People stay away from the large because they think it's too big from the photos. Phone cameras up close will make the watch look bigger than it actually is. I'd suggest trying it out and seeing for yourself.
The second thing is that the straps have quick release springbars. The deployant clasp is also very easy to remove. This means that you can change straps very easily and get a whole new look. For example, a black leather strap makes this a lot more formal.
This watch works well with any number of straps and is well worth considering.
Agree, always go and try on a watch in person, photos can mess up the perception and proportions.
I love the white face reverso with power reserve indicator and a tan ostrich strap.... watch perfection!😊
Iconic piece! And this one comes with very useful complication.
100%
Absolutely love the reverso. I have toyed with buying one many times, but I always think it won't get much wrist time because of its dress style. Still of all the many watches out there, if I saw a room full of Rolex And someone had a reverso on, I know who I would be talking to.
Agree with you, always have a lot of back and forth when considering buying one. I think I would go vintage if I would buy a Reverso today.
It dresses down really easily - I wore mine with trainers/sneakers and shorts throughout the summer
Dresses down very easily, especially with the rugged Casa Fagliano straps.
Excellent review 👏
A beautiful and unique wristwatch. JLC my favorite watch brand, I like Polaris Memovox very match too.
It is really good review!. I can learn lot from you.
Thank you!
Good review! Simple and informative. Love the watch. A but outside my price range though.
Thanks Vegard!
Unique for sure and very cool from a watch collection perspective
Yup!
They are such beautiful watches. Very elegant and the ooze class.
Agree!
I just bought the Duoface "travel"..... Magnificent!
Awesome video Marko!
I love the Reversos with 8 days of power reserve (specially the ones with a big date, like the 240.8.15) and the perpetual calendars (like the 270.2.55).
Great choices!
I have 2 Reversos - one is the model you have just shown - mine came on a black Alligator strap but I wear it mainly with the ostrich strap, and I have a gold Grande Date Automatic with a plain gold back on which I have engraved by JLC a picture drawn by my late father. Both a very special to me - I have a JLC Ultra thin Master small second as well but this now rarely gets worn!
Beautiful and congrats! Wear them in good health!
Hey Marko, great video! I am not into watches, somehow youtube pointed me here and I am glad. I am not looking at other channels, but yours is great as even I am not so much into watches, I enjoy your videos
I think there may be a small error in this video. I think this watch is limited to 20m not 30m. Inscription on it says 3 bar, and you get that on 20m because on the surface we have 1bar and for each 10m we get approximately 1 extra bar. So it would be 1 atmospheric + 10m + 10m = 3 bars = 20m
Or correct me if I am wrong :) ? Thanks for awesome videos! I hope you make a few more videos with microscope!! :)
Can’t stress enough how good these reviews are, hell probably the best on YT with all necessary info!!
Thank you for your kind words, I do my best and always try to improve. Happy to be part of your watch-list.
Very nice video. I have the Art Deco model 270.2.62, which I love. The Reverso is a great watch for women too.
Sweet, great choice there!
guilloche always gets me, nice shots there!
Strictly speaking it's just a guilloche pattern on the dial; true hand-operated guilloche will look even better.
@@chia-mingyang5804 Huh okay, good to know!
Yup, thanks Marcel!
I have the same watch but mine came on an alligator strap. I've since purchased the ostrich strap for a more casual look. When I need a dress watch, I just quickly swap the straps over, no tools required, even the deployant buckle comes off easily with the press of a bar.
Nice!
Black dial tribute to 1931 is the best there is. I like my Reverso’s simple. Excellent!
Cannot go wrong with it!
Excellent Review.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Now this looks funky!
Yup, pretty cool with the flippable case.
One of my personal favourites!
Thanks Chiraag!
I really liked the perpetual desk ornament you have in the background. What is that called and where can I get one?
One if not my favorite Reverso is the Sun Moon 🌝 🌙 🙌🏻
I absolutely love my Reverso...
Not in the same league, but my Rotary Evolution is also double-sided. It is one of the most unique watches in my collection.
I like both. I own a Reverso small seconds.
Hi I’m wondering does this mode come with a hacking second function for precisely setting the time? Thanks
The Reverso also makes a great travelling table clock.
The rose gold tourbillion with a power reserve on the back is the Reverso mega grail🏆
yup!
Hey, your content is great, continue this way. Do you think that with another strap, the reverso can be fitted with a casual style look ? (jeans, shirt / no suit)
Thank you! Yes, absolutely. The Reverso especially in steel is a very versatile watch!
Love it, although prices have gone up!
Truly an icon 🙌
100%
42.9 and 47mm lug to lug lenght is all they have ss option.How did you measure 45.6 mm?İs it the midium or the large size?
This is perfect for traveling
I was on the verge of selling my Reverso Duoface but now you made me doubt haha
@@alexobrien4240 Hi Alex, already promised it to a friend of mine if I were to sell :D but fyi I'd ask about €5200
haha sorry Mathieu, but if you´re swapping it out for something you like more it might be worth it.
@@SwissWatchGang It's a tad on the big side. Selling this and my AP ultra thin cal. 2003 for a Laine V38 :D
@@MathieuVuylsteke Nice nice congrats on the Laine! Great choice :)
I like my reverso belts and reverso watches. I wish they made reverso shoes.
This, Santos, Day Date, timeless pieces.
Yup!
I love mine!
I'm not sure what it's called but I like the Reverso that looks almost identical to the original one. Comes on that strap as well. Plus I think it's a little cheaper but I have to say with this you are getting a lot of watch for $10k so I think the price is more than fair. Beautiful watch, it really took me a couple of years to come around and start to like this watch, I just didn't get it for a long time.
You probably mean the "tribute to 1931" piece. It´s awesome.
Even the Tribute to 1931 isn’t the original size. Closest thing to that is the older Classique model.
check out the microbrand Vario and their Versa model. It's reversible too but not a luxury brand.
BTW. I WOULD LOVE TOO SEE A 3 WATCH REVIEW COMPARING KRAYON TO THE FP JOURNE ASTRONOMIC BLUE AND VACHERON CELESTIA GRAND. I'm sure getting three grail watches together for one show would be a coup'de'ta of the century. You might be able to pull it off at one of the watch shows. Maybe each boutique could bring one from their vaults.
We will see, sounds like a challenge but we might be able to pull it off.
F****** amazing sorry for my language but there is no words to describe this one
All good, we all can relate :D
Wow. I see this video in Sept 2023 and the price is around 13k CHF. Too much for me at this point unfortunately. Under 10k sounded nice. Thank you for the review
Check out the Universal Geneve Janus model, usually in platinum and rose gold….another duoface watch and very rare!
Yup!
Just don't travel to somewhere with one of those weird 1/2 time zones where its off by 30 minutes. Nice video
Can you please review the JLC Master Control Sector dial. such a beautiful watch and I can't find any on chrono24 or anywhere else. is it a limited run? Want to hear YOU Swiss guys review it.
Hard to get for a review, I like it too :)
the burgundy dial with polished indices is my favorite reverso, but it only has one face.
It´s a great choice !
You said it was the Large model but i believe this is the Medium
So is lug to lug 45.2 or 42.9mm?
Well We’ll; what a gorgeous piece, just one issue for me, the printed JL on the white dial as it looks ‘wrong’ the way it follows the rise and fall of the decoration. On the other side, plates are used for words so why?
Never owned a reverso, feel it would have to be vintage however I have a large wrist (8 1/2”) so like you mentioned may not be suitable?!
Great video as usual matey!!
Bob
England
Might be suitable, depends on what you're used to. My smallest watch that I love wearing is my first generation Santos, which is only 33mm in diameter. All depends on you my friend. :)
What exactly is this watch name after cartier 1:16
Reverso calendar for me 😊
Good one!
I'd love to get the burgundy Reverso.
Great choice!
The only way the travel time dial makes sense is if you wanted to see if it was day or night at the place you are intending to travel to.
When you arrive at your destination, the 24 hour dial is pointless; you can tell if it is day or night.
Of course, you can make the black dial home time and the white dial travel time (local). You would have to adjust the white dial to your destination, and then use the slider to adjust the hours to back home. If you wanted to check what the time was back home, you would have to flip the dial. A bit of a long process if you ask me.
The automatic model Q3838420 makes more sense: On the main dial, you can see local time & also if it is day or night back home. A shame that it is so thick.
Wow you complicated a simple gmt function, just set the black dial to the place you’re not in, it’s pretty simple
Tommorrow I will get my Reverso
How Van you set the Second? There is no sec. Stop.
Congrats!
@@Volker10watch None unfortunately.
is the Reverso a dress watch? Thanks :)
I liked this before I even watched it :)
:)
I am the proud owner of this beauty 😍
Was für e gueti arbeit!
100%
There is also Patek Phillip Reverso
Also reversible: Universal Geneve - Janus
Yup!
Hey Marco ...can you spot any kind of difference between Q3848420 and Q3848422...? Its seems to me there is none
Can't find anything no, caliber is even the same etc.
@@SwissWatchGang
Hmm...strange...thank you anyway. Cheers
I have a Hamilton 1940 version, the Otis
Literally the first sports watch
Sanaa all
?
Is this the large model as the specs you have given are for the medium. I’m trying to decide on which size classic
Is it the medium or large model?
Website says large.
I used to like Grande Date Reverso way back when. Now the new hybris mechanica and the gyrotourbillon are nice. But unfortunately, to-date none of the reversos got me to the point where I would actually buy them. And I LOVE JLC! Also, I kind of like the original concept of having the solid back to protect the watch but being that such watches are very simple, they dont inspire me... I dont like the duoface versions at all
Thanks for your input Alexander, always good to hear from the opposite side as well. To some extent I can also relate to you.
I have such a love affair with this watch! Just stunning!
Yup, the Reverso is just awesome!
tribute 1931 for sure. simple/classic
THE Reverso for some :)
There newest piece is Amazing
yup!
Its a "Mullet watch." Buisness in the front. Party in the back.
hahaa
The Hamilton Otis is another reverso watch
You´re right!
1:43 another one would be the Tag Heuer Monaco sixtynine that have three hand at the front, digital at the back. Also defunct brand De Grissogono Doppio, and also the Universal Geneve Cabriolet which as well have its reversing mechanism being adopted by many brands ever since. Another reverso-like mechanism also adopted by Omega in their Equinox models. Lastly, the Harry Winston Opus 4 by Christophe Claret and the Patek Philippe Grand Chime. Well fun fact, Patek Philippe also got their own reverso aside from Hamilton that made during the era.
Thanks Jeviar, you´re right!
It’s JLC is what’s expected…watchmaker of watchmakers..
Alan H
Yup!
I have newer seen bed looking reverso.
Pahingi😧
?
Luminova didn't exist in 1931
so overpriced. I hope the Chinese engineers finally pay attention and make one for $50 with modern quartz movement which makes it even more reliable.
Think u need to go back further in history. The first reversible watch was done by Universal Geneve in the 1928 to 1929 era. Called the Cabriolet. That Cabrio that you featured is a poor representation of that innovation.
I was the UG too yes, well beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
