For my kind of wrists (16 cm),
47 mm is too long for any rectangular watch, Reverso included, unfortunately.
But it might work fine for others.

What I find impressive is the case profile.
But the watch seems unnecessarily large. And the 1929 source of inspiration looks more attractive imo (see below)... Best, Emmanuel credit: Audemars Piguet ...
And round movement, and automatic...
Smaller with shaped manual wind movement, I would love it.
At 47mm length it’s the same size as the JLC Reverso Grande GMT.
I have this particular JLC which is the largest case size I can wear on my 17.2cm wrist. But at 34mm wide it’s 5mm wider. It’ll look a lot larger on the wrist I suspect given the large color field dial side compared to the JLC.

The dimensions on monochrome are actually incorrect!
The watch is 34mm long (without lugs) , 24.6mm wide and 8.8mm thick
I think it's impossible: AP's website says that the movement is 29.6 mm diameter...
So I tend to think that Monochrome got the dimensions right. Best, Emmanuel
…so, maybe Hodinkee was incorrect?
In any case, it’ll get cleared up in short order whichever site is in error
Well Hodinkee
has at least gotten the thickness of 8.8mm correct as it matches that on the AP website but unfortunately the AP website merely states a size of 34mm without elaborating on the exact length and width of the watch. It just shows that even its website was n...
I've had a look at Hodinkee's dedicated page
and they clearly state that the lug-to-lug dimension is 47.1 mm , just like Monochrome. The only thing which is confusing on their page is their indication for the " Diameter: 34.6mm in length (top to bottom of crystal) , 34mm wide without the crown ". I'...
Hodinkee has revised its measurements from its original publication
and I have asked an AP boutique for the dimensions since the watch is clearly not 34mm wide if it is 34.6mm long. To add more controversy, SJX states the dimensions at 34mm x 32.6mm! More importantly, a 47.1mm lug to lug will make the watch wear large for...
Oh, I see. Keep us informed when you get the official dimensions!
Judging from the photos, the watch is too big, imo. The charm of the original piece is lost. Best, Emmanuel
That’s groundbreaking 😄
I wonder how many years it took to develop such innovative watch 🧐🤭
I like it a lot…
And would applaud AP for going beyond the octagonal in their shape variety 😁 But like stated by Emmanuel above it could well benefit form a more slender profile and more compact overall size 🤷🏻♂️
Interesting pivot from AP.
Beautiful watch indeed. I’m not aware of its based on a historical AP model.
One more though here …
Oddly I don’t hear anyone criticizing AP for putting a round movement in this case… while so many criticized PP for putting a round movement in the cubitus… just saying…
Shame on thee, but not on me ;-)
The rules of the game are always up for interpretation… and distortion
Something feels really off with this new model.
Should be a single color. Either make the whole case and sides black, or rose gold. Logo on the front disrupts the clean aesthetic (but it can only be seen from a specific angle which is good). Could have chosen more art deco font to be harmonious with th...
