2 watches in one. The Reverso is the essence of Duality, with its two sides. The new Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Duoface ( which we will awfully call GRUT ) pushes the duality a step forward. You know the Duoface. It was a lovely Reverso in a GT case ( 42, ...  

essential and clear. I don t like the rg version much,but the other 2 are very nice. My fav combo woud have been the small second white dial and the blue...joking aside, obviously the blue version is the most appealing(and JLC knows that,hence the boutiqu...  

Depending on several factors, such as the angle of your camera when you take a picture of this " Blue ", and the light, the surroundings, and so on, you will have very different outcomes. I am now used to that phenomenon, as I had big issues with the Red ... 

I am already in trouble, like you and many others.......:) :) It's fun to be in trouble... Mo

that I JLC should either change the "Night/Day" to "AM/PM", or move the 12 and 24 hour indications to the 9 and 3 position on the subdial. From midnight to noon being "night" just doesn't make any sense and flies in the face of every world-time and dual-t... 

Yes, I agree that there are few things to change to be close to perfection... Best, Nicolas

I was happy with the SS version due to the balanced position of the 'Reverso' then you show the blue version :) Your an evil man..! This would compliment anybody who also has the Rouge reverso and be a little different at the same time....will you and Mo ... 

Jlc is not making it easy, but again this belongs to the "achievable " category, not many brands can do that, I mean, to offer products on the relatively bottom of the price list and make them so desirable.... I love this way Mo

I can't really think of any other manufacturer that cover such a range from very affordable, right up to grande complications. Look forward to seeing your rouge :) Andy.

:) Thanks, my dear Andy. Nicolas

Thank you very much for these exclusive preview of probably the manufacture's next bestseller. Ruckdee

Another selling hit.... Mo

I don't know which one will be the best seller among these 2.... I would bet on the MUT Jubilé, though. I can understand why this " Blue " has taken your heart. Defintely. Best, my good friend. Nicolas.

.... with its clean lines and retro styling nicely packaged in model dimensions, is a clear winner. On the other hand, I'm not too sure about the rose gold version: the placement of the Reverso wording looks out of place, while the double applied indices ... 

The "12" I am quite okay with but I don't get the relocation of "Reverso" as there is still plenty of space up above. Ruckdee

The Same. But all comments are very welcome. JLC will certainly read your feedbacks, and maybe this will convince them to bring some modifications to the protos? Best, Nicolas.

My choice would be the blue one. I like the simplicity of just the two handed time without the seconds. With a traditional piece like this, it just adds that much vintage feel into it, IMO. Richard

What if JLC put this very same dial on a TTR 31 case??? Hmmm.... On another side, people would say that JLC is playing a too easy card, if they installed the blue dial on a TT R UT 31. Food for thought. Best, Nicolas.

...especially in PG. This Duoface has everything to be successful: a bit too large but its thin design is very appealing. Thanks for your presentation. Fx ...  

It is all about personal preferences and tastes, here, but I have to say that if the " Blue " is a real eye catcher, the two others are far from lacking charm and interest. Personally, I am in big love with the grained dial of the stainless steel version,... 

thanks for the report , I have one question about the strap of the blue , in the official website it shows with Fagliano strap ! It gonna be limited or boutique edition ?

To place an order on a " Blue ", any JLC Boutique will do its best to give you satisfaction. IF the Fagliano strap is available, go for it, it is much better than the original strap, by far. Best, Nicolas.

I'm placing my order for the blue. It looks fantastic. Thanks for making this the first report! Best, Joe

Follow your heart, my friend. Best, Nicolas

I'm always confused when dealing about Reversos as I wasn't really a fan of this watch, in spite of the fact it's a heavy weight in Horlogerie history. I don't know where it comes from but it's certainly a subjective subconscious background thing. Anyway,... 

...this new GRUT Duoface should share same case width and length as the Rouge, only the thickness is different. I copied the below information from the Rouge review. "The dimensions of the case are exactly the same than for the other Grande Reverso Ultra ... 

Yes, it is thicker than the Reverso Ultra Thin, 1, 67mm thicker, to be precise, which makes a big difference when you put them side by side. But the extra dial on the verso side explains that difference in height. I am happy to see the blue dial on the Du... 

but like you said I would have preferred it as a 1931 UT version. Many thanks for the review Nico. Best fernando

No message body

I still prefer the dials of the Duoface reference 270.840.544. That perfect balance is still not matched IMO. In particular, for the second dial, the black one, I would have liked to see the 3, 9 and 12 numerals. Also, I am not fond of the small seconds s...  

I can't say which one I prefer... Since I would prefer the verso dial of the former, in the case and with the dial of the latest one... Best, Nicolas.

What can I say? Spoilt for choice right there. What will you choose Nico, if you also include the Rouge? If you put a gun to my forehead and make me choose i prolly would still opt for the Rouge since the red is so stunning on the dial. Otherwise, I will ... 

And if I was an Evil, a TRUE Evil, I would harass JLC to install a blue dial in my Rouge... ;) Best, Nicovlad.

We are TWO Evils? ;) Best, Nicolas

Thank you for this report, Nicolas! My preferences goes to the Blue... But since it wont be offered for sale in Sweden, I will have to pass (maybe)... ;) But do I prefer the Blue before the Red..? I don't know since I haven't seen any of them in the metal... 

I am sure some will be happy to help you on that matter... Best, nicolas

Dear Nicolas, Thank you for the report and photos that are pure eye candy. As for the watch, the increase in size remains questionable for me. But one has to see the watch in the flesh for a final verdict. Best Andreas

A great writeup. and I will reserve my final opinion about the watch for when I see it on the wrist. But somehow it doesnt sing to me. I love the thin case but the big button kills it. I love the front dial which is retro classic but the black dial seems ... 

I was never keen on this pusher, either... On the former, as well as on this one. But these dials... Hmm.... Best, my friend. Nicolas

One of reason for preferring the pre-harmonised version is the pusher. It is quite a long time that I am waiting for MY perfect Duo but it has not yet arrived... :) Ideally I would like to see the size and thickness of the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin but wi... 

I feel the button is too prone to accidental activation and the time may be easily off by one hour without me knowing it. Okay, it is a paranoia all right but aesthetically the watch should look better also without the one button. The Reverso Grande GMT i... 

It is not that prominent. A coaxial pusher would have been THE top. ;) Best, Nicolas.
