playing with the exposure on the pic reveals a dial with a jumping hour display and travelling pointer rather than a hand. All sorts of detail towards the bottom of the dial makes me wonder if it's a sonnerie rather than repeater
The original quote: "Jaeger-LeCoultre is delighted to invite you ... to celebrate the timeless stories of the Reverso. Please join Catherine Rénier ... to discover the most complicated timepiece ever presented in this emblematic collection."
As everyone knows, I like minute repeaters, fancy chronographs, grand sonneries, and sometimes tourbillons. But sometimes a simple watch is the one you grab. It's easier to set the time!
I really like this brand to which I am very attached emotionally. The Reverso Hybris seems to be fantastic, ingenious and poetic. However, only 5 or 10 may be produced. Apart from its price, it will probably be pre-sold and therefore inaccessible. Moreove...
But retain the JLC elegance too. I adore the coloured sunburst dials of the Reverso Tributes and the Polaris blues. More sector dials, gradients, enamel, guilloche, meteorite, and MOP please. Goodness knows, JLC has the skills.
