SINGING REVERSO
hello everyone,
I'm surprised JLC didn't have yet a Memovox-reverso or Reveil-reverso: I think it'll be a winner. Anybody know if it's a technical problem or simply a design-model matter.
Cheers,
Kiko

Don't really think it is due to a technical problem
As JLC launched a way more difficult Reverso to coneive: The Minute Repeater. The Reverso lives its wonderful life, the family is growing, and I'm confident that JLC will amaze us more and more in the Future. Why not, with a " Singing " Reverso? I love th...
Reverso Memovox/Reveil...
I feel very sure that this complication will appear in the Squadra range and I am sure it would be a success. Cheers David
I share your hope for this future model
That would be a perfect combination for me, a Squadra Ringer -- just add a little more water resistance than the current Squadra line and I will be in heaven. respo
Squadra WR...
I think the WR for the Squadra is unlikely to be raised from 50m. I think it would be a good seller, regardless. Cheers David
The Gran Sport as an example
had a WR of 10ATMS I think (someone correct me if I am wrong) enough for swimming, so there is a precedent for a swimming Reverso. Nevertheless, you may be right, David. respo
Gran Sport Reverso...
I don't count the GS as a true Reverso (sorry to the owners - no offence intended)! I don't like the size, shape or lug attachment for this range. However, if they are 100m, they should be good to go in the water - for surface swimming that is. Cheers Dav...
Well, I think it may only be WR to 50 meters, but...
I think it is a real Reverso. Its caliber 859 was derived from 829, which is a very impressive movement and has an interesting place in the Reverso's history. It was the beginning of the in-house chronos for JLC, I think. The retrograde was quite unusual ...
As an aside...
I do not understand why manufacturers put rubber straps on watches that cannot go into the water. To me this makes no sense and turns the watch into a poser (IMHO of course).
Actually some leather straps are water resistant ,and can be used on a Diving watch
All the Vintage Panerai and some Pre Vendome Panerai had such leather straps! Best, Nicolas
For sure.
Weren't the straps soaked in oil to achieve their water resistance? It's just a personal thing, I think you'd give a leather watch band a pretty hard time diving, even water resistance ones. In any case, I prefer a NATO style strap...even though my dive c...
