JLC SIHH 2012: The Return of the Reverso Skeleton!

Feb 07, 2012,23:31 PM
 



11 years after the unveiling of the lovely Reverso Platinum Nr 1, Jaeger-Lecoultre decided to modernize this superb watch.

Did this watch have to be changed?

Definitely not, as it still is very modern, timeless.

The Platinum Nr 1:





Goodbye the GT platinum case, hello to the white gold bigger case.

This is the first thing which can be noticed.

Indeed, JLC opted for the modern ....

Is it a good choice?

Let's say that the GT case had its charm, with some nice volumes, but the " new ", or should I say more recent case keeps the natural and undisputable elegance of this watch, in its proportions.

Indeed, the new Reverso Skeleton is big, and but thin, which gives harmonious volumes to its case. For the comparison, the dimensions of the Platinum Nr 1 were 42, 25 x 26 x 9,35 mm, which was far from being bad, while the new one is 46 x 27 x 7,2 mm.
