A Klimt on your wrist or on your chimney?

As you know, this year, JLC presented a LE of the Atmos, " the Marquetterie "...

I'd better say 3 LE Atmos Marquetterie, all 3 inpqired by Gustav Klimt Masterpieces, " L'Accomplissement ", " The Kiss ", and the " Adele Bloch- Bauer Portrait "

Here, the Adele Boch Bauer:



But for those among us who want to live with such a Masterpiece on their wrist, there is a solution...

The Reverso à Eclipses!

JLC presented during the last SIHH the " The Kiss " Reverso à Eclipses.

It just landed, a few days ago, and I had the opportunity to take some pics of this beauty.

The ggod thing with the Reverso à Eclipses is that you have a " 2 in one " watch.

You don't want to see every day the magnificient work on enamel?

No problem, just turn the thin crown just above the main crown, and you'll have a different watch!





Please note that of course the dial can be entirely closed, but I choosed to take these pics to illustrate the possibilities...

With such a piece of Art, let's guess that the watch will be worn and amdired most of the time with the dial in the open position...

And it's just a Marvel!

As you need some place to admire this enamel work, JLC choosed to house it in a XGT Case.

And for once, I think that RG is the best choice for this watch.

Let's have a look at it, now...







Yes, for me, at least, the combo RG / Yellow Brown Enamel Dial / BRown Crocodile Strap, and RG Folding Buckle is the best!

A lot of warmth, harmony and elegance, IMO...

I don't see this dial on a platinum case, as it is too brown, too yellow to nicely match with a white metal case.

Furthermore, it gives a nice retro look, very " à propos " on this Reverso.

So, A Reverso is a 2 sides Watch...

You know one side...



But the other Side?

Ok, here we are...

Nothing else than a solid case back with the engraving of the LE Number ...Here a Lucky Number...LOL



So, you won't see the Caliber 849 beating...

A pity?

I don't think so, as the most important thing on this Reverso is the dial!

So, A Klimt on your Chimney or on your Wrist?

Best.
