Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I have always been seduced by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso and yet it took me years to decide. I tried it dozens of times in different configurations, with or without a second hand, Reverso Night&Day, Reverso Tribute to Small Seconds... but each time I said to myself: "It's a beautiful watch but it doesn't suit me! » And then I offered a large Cartier Tank to my wife... and I had the opportunity to wear her watch on a few occasions both to try it out and to question myself concretely about my ability to wear a rectangular timepiece. Bingo! Something unlocked and I felt more confident about wearing a rectangular watch and I decided to take the plunge with this Reverso, in the simplest version. I could have gone for a more “fun” model like the green or red Reverso Tribute Small Seconds but my goal was to have this classic icon and in this sense the simplest model, with a silver dial, was the best solution for me.

I acquired this reverso (ref: 270.8.62) a few months ago, I had been dreaming of it for a long time, why? I like its sobriety, its timeless design which is different for me from the usual codes found in watchmaking. A real pleasure to wear, light, discreet and what class! In addition, these blue hands offer a very nice contrast with the white dial and therefore a beautiful readability. In short, I am won over and if there were to be only one left, maybe...

An icon in my collection that is added to my 2nd watch of form that is so close and so different at the same time: the Tank de Cartier. I am totally under the charm of its guilloche dial and its sumptuous finishes. From the dial to the buckle to the alligator leather strap… Everything breathes great luxury on this watch! And what a pleasure to rock this very fine case! This Reverso is a must have and a great classic of watchmaking that I highly recommend to any enthusiast.
