This is a watch that I have been after for a long time, ever since its announcement actually. The increased size and simpler dials made this a must have for me! Its an LE so finding one at a decent price took some time, but finally it is mine.
The Reverso has always seemed like an exceptionally elegant watch to me, with its rectangular shape and clean dials. The hand decorations on the dial are typically beautifully as is the Jaeger standard, it looks fantastic with a suit or a dress shirt, but not so much with casual clothing.
This particular LE has got two dials, a main time dial and a second one to showcase the other functions such as the moon phase and the second time zone, I have always felt that the Reverso had one dial, and showcased extra functions on the back to minimize clutter, and always found it odd that some people would consider the back a second main dial, especially since it is clearly marked "Home Time" and no where in the Jaeger documentation or advertising is it mentioned in that capacity. But to each his own.
One particularly impressive aspect of the watch is the fact that it runs two sides with different times and functions with the same movement, and at such an entry level price. Only Jaeger can pull that off! The finishing on the case and the decoration and attention to detail shown, even on the housing case underside, is exceptional. With each watch added to my collection from Jaeger, I wonder why I dont have more of their models!!!
I apologize for the short review, as I am pressed for time. I would have loved to review the Reverso' history, but will leave that for another post.
Another great pick up was the rubber coated titanium bracelet for my Navy Seals Alarm which transforms the watch completely! One of my favorite all time bracelets and an amazing piece of engineering! Jaeger shows some originality and a high level of engineering prowess here!
The deployant is equally impressive and very well finished!
but I certanly dont mean any negativity by it.
