2011 was a thrilling year, with the unveiling of these 2 Tributes, the Reverso 1931, paying an homage to the iconic rectangular watch born 80 years before, and the egendary but, at that time, less well known Deep Sea Alarm.

These two received a superb welcome in the alleys of the SIHH, in 2011.

And rightly so!
