Which is your favorite Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso model so far?

@EsperLuxe 2 года назад

The vintage tourbillon!

@effektagency5144 2 года назад

This duoface would be an obvious choice.

@smallturnsBIG 2 года назад

No idea yet, need to learn more about it :)

@RS-pu5se 2 года назад

The classic.. large with small seconds!

@amoschoo6108 2 года назад

The Quadriptypue and then the duoface

@TeddyBaldassarre 2 года назад

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!

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

I have the non-duo face. I reckoned its also a duo face, just not a watch face on the other side

@manuel_winde 2 года назад

Like a luxury fidget spinner 😄

@jonbents9987 2 года назад

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 😉

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

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. :)

@manuel_winde 2 года назад

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 😂

@TwentyOne_Five Год назад

I’ve got this in medium. Just swapped the black leather for the brown fagliano. It’s two totally different looks.

@YongJoonPaek 2 года назад

The first watch I bought for myself. Still one of my favourites and wear it frequently!

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

Sweet and congrats!

@sanghoonlee5171 2 года назад

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.

@anibaluriarte3676 2 года назад

Man, you convinced me I will buy one for sure. Excellent presentation just on the subject. Thank you

@richardweir3342 2 года назад

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.

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

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.

@manuel_winde 2 года назад

It dresses down really easily - I wore mine with trainers/sneakers and shorts throughout the summer

@dickfitzenwell8186 2 года назад

Dresses down very easily, especially with the rugged Casa Fagliano straps.

@smallturnsBIG 2 года назад

Now this looks funky!

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

Yup, pretty cool with the flippable case.

@gesunelson 2 года назад

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.

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

Agree, always go and try on a watch in person, photos can mess up the perception and proportions.

@csehvani 2 года назад

One of my personal favourites!

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

Thanks Chiraag!

@-triumphgt667 2 года назад

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!

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

Beautiful and congrats! Wear them in good health!

@James-xv2ev 2 года назад

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.

@MrMilosv 2 года назад

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!! :)

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.

@SwissWatchGang 2 года назад

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

@chareric 2 года назад

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.

@craigbrown2251 2 года назад

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.
