Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Septantième. Discover its pioneering features: XGT case, white gold movement, 8-day power, and big date.

Amanico celebrates the 10th anniversary of his Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Septantième, reflecting on its significance within his collection. He details the watch's pioneering features, positioning it as one of the most important Reverso models for its numerous 'firsts' in design and movement technology. This post offers a deep appreciation for a landmark timepiece.

2007 was a very good year for me. At the end of July, the Master Minute Repeater, and on the 9th of august, the Reverso Septantième...

Two watches which are still in my collection.

But today, this is THE one.

In the top five among all the Reversos.

For its class, its distinction, and the fact that this is a watch of " firsts ", as you know:

- First Reverso XGT case,

- First white gold bridges and plates,

- First 8 Days movement,

- First Big Date.

Not the first Reverso in a platinum case, though...

This watch was born in 2001, for sale one year after. It took me 6 more years to get mine, but I still have found memories of the day I got it.

Love... An endless feeling.

Best,

Nicolas

for all the reasons you state. And it was good that JLC finally got to use the large date that they ceded to ALS so many years before. It fits the Reverso perfectly. I also love your background! Very cool!.
