Can't explain why...
MTR
Not worn for quite a few months....
And now finally on my wrist again.
I can't explain or even unterstand how I could withstand wearing my JLC Reverso Grande GMT for such a long time.
A mix of beauty, useful complications and great wrist presence. And in the meantime it represents my one and only watch with a case in RG.
The Reverso Grande GMT offers an intriguing (shaped!) manual wound inhouse movement (Cal. 878, 276 parts) with a PR of 8 days. It is packed with many very useful features that make true sense to me.
The front dial has a beautiful silver guilloche dial, blue hands, a large date display, small seconds and a day/night display that shows golden sunrays (day indicator) or a field of stars (night indicator).
The rear dial is black, has luminous hands and indices and features a second timezone settable by +/- pushers, a separate 24 hour / day & night display and a PR indicator.
This JLC is a very nice companion to start working again after some relaxing warm, sunny days in Croatia.
Thanks for reading, Thomas

I have the same in steel (on bracelet)... and it is an AMAZING watch! Possibly the BEST regular production Reverso ever made. -Dean

They know how to make some great travel watches, at JLC. Enjoy.

Indeed, Nico, they know! Honey words... :-) I took this watch to many places - from the desert in Dubai to winter skiing in Austria. Never faced any problems. Although I try to avoid intensive water contact ;-) Best, Thomas

Great great watch! The steel version is on my dream list. Fantastic photos

Thanks a lot, Bounce781! Yes, I think the steel version is more versatile. I chose the RG version for its "romantic" touch but usually don\'t wear it in business meetings since it shows quite a lot of gold. AFAIK the Grande Reverso GMT is out of production? Best, Thomas

So tough! Just got the rouge, love that. Love a lot of them with the sun moon and day/night. Love the Bleu duo. And the eight day grande date. And soixantieme and septantieme. And the ceniceros! I can\'t pick one. ...

Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic True Second and Universal Time: The review.
amanico
How to start? With the launch of the Tribute, Jaeger-Lecoultre had the secret idea to build a whole new family with the Geophysic. The Tribute was the first member, playing the card of the past, clearly, with one concession, the movement, which is not manual, like in the original, but automatic, with a fine setting of the balance wheel. The Tributes ( 2014 ) : In 2015, Jaeger-Lecoultre unveils two new Geophysics, the True Second, and the Universal Time, both sharing a new movement, the Cal 770, which offers ... .
