Jaeger-LeCoultre

I had to sell a lot of pieces to fund both of them, as they came in less than two weeks. An opportunity I couldn't miss.

The Reverso Septantième is a watch I was running after since its unveiling, but the retail was substantial, let's say it this way. 

There is one thing I am not sure... I doubt Jaeger Lecoultre made all the 500 pieces of the limited edition. 500 was too much for a watch like this. 125 or 200 would have been better. But here again, it is only my guess, based on the fact that I didn't see that many on the market since the unveiling. And when you make a quick research, as I just made it, only two are coming out for sale, in platinum. 

The Reverso Septantième has two big assets. It is a charming watch, and it is a watch " of the firsts ". 

First Reverso with this big XGT case which will survive only few years. 

First Reverso with a 18 Kt white gold movement for the platinum, and rose gold movement for the rose gold version, with an extra bonus, a lovely swan neck.

First Reverso ( and first Jaeger Lecoultre, by the way ) using the 8 Days movement. 

First Jaeger Lecoultre to use the Big Date. 

Yes, the Reverso Septantième is a star among the stars... 

A lovely companion, which is a great member of my top Jaeger Lecoultre collection, among with the Duometre à Chronographe and the Master Minute Repeater. 

Happy 12th, my dear Septantième. 

Best,

Nicolas
