Watches and Wonders 2023: It is a Reverso year for Jaeger Lecoultre.
By: amanico : March 27th, 2023-07:43
Well, for once, I discovered the JLC novelties like you, at the same moment than you, this year. From what I see so far, the only true novelty is the Reverso Tribute Chronograph. In steel, Or in rose gold. Manual winding Retrograde Minutes. We also have a...
I'm a 'sucker'....

for tourbillon Reversos, so the Hybris Artistica GT really impresses me. With that said, it's a really strong and varied showing of the tremendous versatility of the watch . Thanks a bunch for all the nice pictures Nico. Cheers, Filip
+1 hybris

Merci Nicolas

I favor the steel reverso chrono very much and I agree on the rose gold small seconds!

But the blue dial looks to be a different blue than the small seconds version, yes? The chrono side is amazing.
agree too luxurious
By: Gelato Monster : March 27th, 2023-09:08
I prefer spartan dial Reverso Chrono
Merci Nicolas for your report !
By: Sebi : March 27th, 2023-08:15
Interested to have a look at the steel chrono, looks nice. Price is a bit steep however (24k€) I'd rather fancy a mariner memovox, for that price did you get my text btw ?!!
I’m so surprised you learned of the Chronograph at the same time as us
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-08:29
but isn’t it a beauty!!! It’s just what I wished for at the Reverso exhibition though I doubt I had very much to do with the decision lol Not sure about the white tips of the chronograph hands but otherwise it’s a beauty…I heard it was 20,000 euro in stee...
Oh god!!
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-09:15
The first person showed me printed JLC literature that stated 20,000….the second person told me they were still deciding between 20-25,000…also that it wouldn’t become available until November
White tip (actually segment) is a tradition on chapter rings reversos
By: Clavi : March 28th, 2023-09:29
It might look 'different' to what we are used to, but the painted segment on hands was featured in the central seconds reversos from the late 1930s. Back then I think it was mostly on the black dial executions whith central seconds chapter ring. This was ...
They’ve tidied up
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-09:20
the movement on the left side, especially the top corner but then opened it up in the centre….I also love how they've got 38 jewels engraved…the previous model had 35 or 37 depending on age….so I’m hoping they’ll randomly create a 36 or 39 jewel version l...
LOL!!!
By: amanico : March 27th, 2023-09:33
Yep!
By: amanico : March 27th, 2023-13:19
It is a little different though..
By: bchankai : March 27th, 2023-19:02
The updated movement has time on the chronograph side, which its predecessor did not have. My question is whether there’s a gmt function—I’m guessing not since it wasn’t mentioned. My biggest issue with price. I have sort of gotten used to watch inflation...
I am really disappointed.
By: proestak : March 27th, 2023-09:42
Actually nothing really the "NEW"? Reverso chronograph is a reworked version from the 90s. They increase the prices 25% in one year and instead of put the money in the actual product it seems that they put it to advertisement. Don't get me wrong,I still ...
Τhank you Nico for your answer.
By: proestak : March 27th, 2023-10:23
As for the Reverso Chronograph, it seems that they improved the original movement by adding a second time zone in the back dial and the balance wheel is now regulated by variable inertia. Anyway i will wait your in depth information on the movement. Best ...
I’ve heard that
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-10:33
it’s not a second time zone….it’s fixed single time front and rear (which I don’t personally have a problem with)
sensational aesthetics
By: Gabriel80 : March 27th, 2023-09:55
these days somme high end brands bring out extremely complicated watches, but imho forget or underrate the importance of the overall design. JLC excels at both! Bravo!
Thanks for sharing Nico!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 27th, 2023-11:16
Wow those Reverso chronographs!!! I also like the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in pink gold. Will share some pics soon Cheers Robin
Will do.

Good set of releases
By: jmpTT : March 27th, 2023-12:09
It's pleasing to see the chronograph back in the Reverso lineup, it remains a relatively attainable marvel of engineering. In addition to the feature revisions, I look forward to learning whether the movement has undergone any technical upgrades. Power re...
for sure
By: andrea~ : March 27th, 2023-13:06
It’s strange that….
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-12:41
Hodinkee have pics of the steel chronograph with a grey dial….and chronograph hands with full blue rather than the silver tips on the version in the JLC website
I can’t imagine it would be
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-13:07
The grey dial is what I was shown (in picture form) several weeks ago at the boutique including live pics on a wrist…I was somewhat confused by a comment on your JLC wish list thread about the dial being blue but I guess I saw the prototype as the JLC web...
Confused by the UK prices
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-13:45
On the JLC UK website the steel tribute chronograph is listed as £21400 but Hodinkee state $21,400….and the new steel tribute small seconds as £9600 when Hodinkee states it as $9600….for the latter model that’s an £800 premium over the far prettier sunray...
It looks very much like
By: robsallnow : March 27th, 2023-15:33
a Baumé and Mercier Hampton in exactly the same colour combo lol
Deal!
By: amanico : March 27th, 2023-21:43
Thx for this informative share !..
By: hs111 : March 30th, 2023-09:15
For Humble Me the Chrono/Blue would be ok on the Recto side, but with some concern about the Verso, - I don’t really know.. Hmmhh.. 😉 - My Fav here is the Black Tribute Small Sec in RG - delicious but throughout the line-up all the prices have gone up & u...
