JLC SIHH 2014: Tribute To Reverso 1948.
Nov 20, 2014,00:00 AM
Do you remember this Reverso, whose case was in white gold, and a superb grained dial?
It was released in 2012, and when we saw it, we fell under the charm.
We were quite many to dream about a more affordable version, in stainless steel, with the same dial.
Jaeger-Lecoultre did even better! They created a superb, yes, really superb stamped dial. It is hard to see it on my pictures, but the indexes are blue, like on this press release photo, a tad darker, though:
Here are the live pictures I took at the SIHH booth:
The indexes are galvanic blued, give a lot of depth to the dial, and are absolutely charming.
A macro of the dial, which will give you an idea of the depth generated by the indexes and the minutes ring:
Another angle, to try to catch the blue accent:
The case is in stainless steel version, with this now well known Reverso Ultra Thin volumes, which are 46, 8 mm x 27, 4 mm x 7, 3 mm thickness.
The movement is the Cal 822/2, which is manual wound, offering an autonomy of 45 hours, and beating at 21600 vibrations per hour.
I am pretty sure that it will be one of our Community stars, this year.
It is not a limited editon, but a Boutique Edition, and keep this information for you, but the batch will be very short.
The retail is slightly below 8 000 Euros.
Two last pictures, taken two months later:
No doubt that they will go fast, and that we'll see many here, on our Jaeger-Lecoultre forum.
Best,
Nicolas
