A new used watch landed today. Part of the legendary 60th anniversary series of Reversos. It’s been a while since waiting for a new watch to show up affected me so much. The beauty of it, the back story, the two very different looks…so, without further ago, please meet _my_ Reverso Chronographer Rétrograde. 

It easlily bumpes the CB off my wrist…

One of the nicest Reverso IMO. Just needs a better strap but im sure you will find something cool.

One of the FINEST manual wind lateral clutch chronographs in the modern era which tragically does not get the recognition it deserves but maybe that will change over time. Many do not even know that the movement is solid gold, LONG before Journe made solid gold movements 😉. And this reference was the FIRST EVER lateral clutch manual wind chronograph in a NON round form factor in the history of wrist watches !! JLC at their absolute finest during the early stages of their Golden Era 🔥 Mine says h

Actually, I like that it is relatively unknown. Keeps the hype away. As the Americans say…inside baseball. Yours is beautiful too, as are the photos! Claus

Honestly, all of these 1990s Grande Taille case limited editions of 500 pieces were exceptional. Each one.
