Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Platinum Number Two: A Collector's Anniversary Piece

Key Points from the Discussion

• The 18K Soleillé movement of the Platinum Number Two is a significant highlight, with its tourbillon uniquely placed on the reverse side, making it a true horological jewel.
• The design choice to feature a display back on this Reverso allows the owner to appreciate the movement without removing the watch, a feature some collectors wish JLC would reintroduce in current Reverso models.
• Stabilizer confirms that the display back formula, allowing the movement to be seen, is far more compelling than a second functional dial, as experienced with his previous Ultra Thin Duoface.
• Acquiring this specific Platinum Number Two was a year-long quest, highlighting its rarity and desirability among collectors.
• While appreciating the elegance of the dial and movement, one minor suggestion was to place the power reserve indicator (RdM) on the movement side for an even cleaner dial aesthetic.
