New acquisition :-)
Hi Guys,
I wanted to share with you my latest acquisition and I am so happy about it!
Its a discontinued JLC Reverso grande date with 8 days power reserve. I am a big fan of the proportion and can't stop looking at the movement. Indeed the 875 calibre is (imho) superb! With 2 spring barrels and a superb finish i am over the moon!
Historically the movement is also very interesting as it's the same one manufactured for the 70th anniversary of the Reverso (but this one was in gold)!
Whishing you all a great sunday and week ahead!

congratulations for this lovely acquisition
A friend of mine owns one since 5 years. He is very happy and from time to time I borrow it. I had the chance in 2010 to attend a JLC's masterclass and the caliber we were suppose to work on was this one. It was my first experience with balance wheel,spri...

With the difference of the material ( white gold / steel ) and of decoration. But technically, this is the same movement, and a pretty excellent one! The only thing is that the movement was thick, due to the 2 barrels of the long power reserve ( if I got ...

One of the best
One of the best from the last decade, and still one of JLC's finest efforts IMO. Enjoy it! John
Huge Congrats!
I've decided I'm only purchasing manually-winding watches from this point forward..No need for shamefully over-priced automatic watch winders either! Has your piece ever been serviced? Michael S
