Amanico shares the captivating story behind his iconic photographs of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Rose Gold Chocolate, first unveiled at SIHH 2014. His creative approach, blending humor with horological appreciation, offers a unique perspective on this beloved timepiece.
It was at the SIHH 2014 when Jaeger Lecoultre unveiled the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin in rose gold, with its chocolate dial.
When I saw the first press files pictures...
I found them pretty good, truth to be told, and while Jaeger Lecoultre highlighted the brown of the shoes and the strap, matching with the dial, I opted for another solution, and asked them to bring me a box or tow of their chocolates... What they agreed to do, despite the fact it was the rush at the booth, at that moment.
Then, I asked them to bring me this vintage Reverso from their collection, to take some pictures, and to show the inspiration, the roots of this new " Chocolate Reverso ".
Ok, the idea was good, but, still, I had their idea in my mind, to associate the Reverso and these brown shoes...
so, I removed my shoes, which are a bit " special ", to say the least, and I took this picture.
The shoes are from Heschung, which work quite well with the spirit of adventure of the icon from Jaeger Lecoultre.
And we had some laughs... too, with the Team in charge of the press relations.
So, you see how is a Moderator's life: A touch of seriousness, fantasy, madness, and fun.
Aaah, and yes, you can also see some very nice watches, also. Such as this one, which is one of the few ones I really like in colored gold.
The vintage is not bad looking, either!
Best,
Nicolas
