+1, Baron .. Endless variations, so nice .. :)

 

Fully with Nicolas,
"Chacun á son gout" - as everyone likes ..

One of my all-time newer favorites is my beloved Reverso Grande GMT,
an amazingly versatile travel companion and a true keeper.

But I nevertheless enjoy my trustworthy Duo- Face from the 80ies
( one day, one night dial, elegant, timeless)

And obviously the new Reverso TT 1931 would make
a mesmerizing icon, its sublime presence is awesome,
believe me ..

All that does not even scratch on the essence of this iconic
all- time great design, does not touch on the timeless beauties in
the Vintage terroir, does in no way justice to historical importance or
horological finesse ..

Next think on pieces of importance, the Septantieme, or even
those untouchables such as a Reverso (Gyro)Tourbillion

So, can you describe the sky ?
- well, simply start looking at it, and learn to feel..

My little 2-cents,
hs

Reversos

I need to learn more about this wonderful watch. I still have the first (and only) one that I bought from about 10+ years ago, but it never gets wrist time for me. It is the most basic quartz stainless steel version. It now seems so tiny! I am looking to ... 

From the Vintage to the Modern, it is just a world apart, my friend.

You will never be able to build an exhaustive collection of Reversos, it is like the Memovox: Too many references and variations. Since you focused on two models, the Gran sport and the Squadra, here are my quick thoughts: The Squadra is a bit too big and...

Hi Baron, My first JLC was a manual Reverso GT some 10+ years ago… Now she does not get the amount of wrist time she deserves. Mainly because of the size… Here is a couple of Reverso post I wrote: Reverso Gran’ Sport Duo The reversible b...  

Well, this is the year to do it

As for you, the Reverso has been much on my mind lately. I think there has been a lot posted about the reverso, particularly this past year, so try and do a search. The anniversary has prompted some superb threads, and our esteemed moderator has posted lo... 

Gran Sport or not

Personally I like the basic Reverso design. It is a watch that can be flipped, in other words the dial or the look can be changed in a few seconds. There are other watch collectors who have also voiced their opinion which I agree. Reverso though looks int...  

Perfectly written, Gup.

I love the way you described and compared the Gran Sport Duo and Chronograph. That is pure love for the Gran Sport line! Best, Nicolas.

Great to hear your thoughts on the Gran Sport

Especially since you have experience with all three. Best, respo

Pure admiration

Thanks for the compliment. I really like the design of the trio. FIrst bought the automatic. At the time I thought it was quite cool to have a Reverso that is not scare of water. Then after reading about the chronograph limited edition launched in 1996, t...
