Jaeger-LeCoultre

A watch that keeps looking better with time

 

Ironic! It ages in reverse. Most things lose vitality and radiance with time, but a great watch only gains in power. Despite so little time since its release, I suspect that this will become a JLC classic (and possibly THE modern Memovox to own alongside a Reverso Rouge in a two-watch JLC anthology).


To be honest, I never suspected that this variation on an existing model would be such a sensation when I saw the first flat/sterile press photos. It's kind of a sleeper hit that needs to be seen in person - or at least in more nuanced photos - to appreciate in full.

Best,
Tim
