amanicoHere it is, finally, this Reverso Tribute Nonantième , the Anniversary piece from Jaeger Lecoultre to celebrate the 90th birthday of THE Icon. It is very welcome, as we had a Soixantième in 1991, a Septantième in 2001, but no official " Huitantième " in 201, even if the Tribute To Reverso 1931 can be considered as an Anniversary piece. Let's have a look at the illustrious predecessors, first. The original Reverso was a small watch ,with a 38 x 23 mm case...Story

amanicoThe Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Celeste was a good surprise, in 2019, unveiled during the summer, to be precise, after the Gyrotourbillon five and the Master Grande Complication Minute Repeater Perpétuelle. In fact, this is not a totally new watch, as I would see it is strongly inspired from the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication introduced in 2010, but without minute repeater, and as an evolution of the MGT Tourbillon Celeste Hybris Artistica born in 2014, in a limited edition of 3 pieces, ... ...Story

amanicoA few months ago, I posted my first feelings and thoughts on the Polaris Memovox Mariner, when the official pictures were unveiled. I was impatient to discover it in real life, to see if my first positive reaction was the good one. Indeed, the real experience is the only way to appreciate the proportions of the whole watch, its dial, and how you feel it, when it is between your hands or on your wrist. That's what we'll see, now...Story

amanicoIt didn't take long before I could finally see the Reverso Tribute Duoface Rose Gold Burgundy Fagliano Limited Edition! When I went to the Paris Boutique, I had some questions in mind, not about the size, as it is the same than the Tribute Duoface Blue Fagliano unveiled in 2019, so I know it well, but about the true hue of burgundy and the strap... And, of course, the overall feeling this watch provides, which can be confirmed with an experience in real life, only. Among all the Tribute Duoface, my favorite ... ...Story

amanicoIf there is a watch which is among my favorite, with the " keeper " status, the Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronographe certainly is one of them, one of the ten watches, all brands included, which will probably stay with me forever. The Duometre is a special watch which had a lot of wrist time, during this special year. That was my " lockdown " watch, with a few other Jaeger Lecoultre, just to keep in touch with the world, with Passion, with horology and fine horology, in a time you are necessarily centered ... ...Story

amanicoA new watch? Not really, but a nice iteration of the Reverso Tribute Duoface, in rose gold and with a sublime Burgundy dial. Here, you will find the slider which is dedicated to the setting of the second time zone, hidden on the side of the case, at 6 o' clock. The combination of a rose gold case and the burgundy dial is sublime, in my opinion. The applied indices are golden, the red lacquer is very deep...Story

A White Gold Sapphire case, limited to three pieces, a White Gold Blue Enamel, and a White Gold Blue Enamel pocket watch! This is this last one I invite you to rediscover, here.
