I wonder what the ballpark figure is...

1) enamel dial/art work on the verso on a simple GT

2) or just a simple engraving on the verso on a simple GT... say an image of a loved one

i think i posted this question a loooong time ago here in TP.  i was told that you have to buy the watch with the enamel dial already on it as you can't retrofit (or they won't) an existing watch. so the cost is the enamel/service+watch.

for a simple GT, i wonder if the enamel is more expensive than the watch itself!

thanks for bringing back memories of a question that has been in the deep recesses of my mind smile

best,

echi

I am working on a topic about enamel dials and JLC. And while preparing the topic, I fell on this superb Reverso, a piece unique made at th request of the owner of the matching painting. I will put on line probably in April, but it is such a beautiful Wat...  

The Reverso....

Pure horology, pure artwork. The only sustaining canvas in the watch world for personal expression (the PP Cabriolet, the Basculante, etc., have all fallen away; only the Reverso endures). -Dean

Yep! And in such a brilliant way, most of the time.

I was not fan of the Squadra, and even less of the Reverso Aston... Besides these few exceptions, the rest was pretty brilliant... Something tells me that a page is on to be turned, though. Best, Nicolas

The page is turning slowly and 2016 will reveal all ...

Something radical for the reverso. I have never been that emotionally drawn to rectangular watch designs but want to be ... Perhaps the next evolution of the Reverso might persuade me!?

Are we going to get a hint of what is to come? Will it really be radical??? Technical with a high finish I hope.

Well if it is ... I am not sure 'Radical' was the right word?!

Am I not looking hard enough? Womens reverso line? Ultra thin reverso's? Astronomical theme reversos to come?

painting!! stunning. but defeats the purpose of the protected Reveros side, no?

Look forward to your post!

Not my style of watch but always interested in the creative and technical aspect of the work that goes into these ppieces. -MW

About the possibility, I asked that question to JLC.

They answered me that everything was possible, it is just a matter or cost. About the cost, you submit your project, and JLC will quote you. Yes, it can be as expensive as a basic Reverso. Best, Echi. Nicolas
