I will try to stay objective, which is difficult for me, as Guille and Milan are old friends.
Honestly, the Reverso 976 was a nice watch, the " 976 Ceniceros " is a very nice watch.
I was not really impressed by the sapphire case back of the 976, when it was revealed, and was hoping that one day it came with a solid case back.
Here, the solid case back is the frame for a superb work of Art.
Guille said it nicely: The common point between the Reverso and his father's work is Duality, which I can indeed see on this 2 pieces of Art.
Duality between Horology and Art.
One side for Horology: a beautiful black dial, with some faux patina adding some warm contrast.
One side dedidcated to Art, and a beautiful red enamel OR engraved creation.
You already got it, I'm smitten by the SS case / Red enamel case back.
Therefore seeing JLC letting some artists play with the Reverso is an idea I love a lot.
One small, very small reserve: I would have even better appreciated to see this work of Art on a Grande Reverso Ultra Thin case.
But, as it is, in the " 976 ", I already love it.
A friends watch?
Congratulations to all the people involved in the project, this is an excellent one.
And felicidades to El Senor Ceniceros!
Best,
Nicolas.
