Can you see it?
To the JLC aficionados,
recently I saw an unusual JLC watch at a German airport and thought, you might appreciate the photos.
1. First glance at a fair distance
2. Some familiar look, let´s get closer
3. That is a R......, isn´t it?
4. Yes, there can be no doubt: it is a pretty large Reverso!
Seen a the Nuremberg Airport, Bavaria, Germany.
The JLC headquarter for Germany used to be located in Nuremberg and obviously JLC gave these special public clocks.
Best regards,
anaesdoc

Did you find the strap which goes with it?
Nice pics, by the way! It changes a bit from the too often seen round clocks! Thanks for sharing. Best, Nicolas
Forget the strap. I would be running away from the person who dropped it! (;-) (nt)

No worries, Nicolas, with the strap...
---, but my main concern is about the wrist! LOL, anaesdoc
Wow! Fancy public clock!
Thanks for the photos! This is one of the coolest public clocks I've seen! Cheers, Daos
Yes, it is...
... and I can remember having seen some other funny ones like the huge Tissot watch (was it from Tokyo?) somewhere here, Daos. There was also a series of ancient town clocks displayed sometime. Best regards, anaesdoc
That is a bit too big even for my wrist...
...but I am very tempted. LOL. I wonder what kind of straps Nicolas would try on this one... That clock is fantastic. I would love to see one of those in our train station. Thanks for posting these pics. respo
LOL...
this is a very cool reverso i ever seen, you know, after seeing this, i just luaghted and felt very happy and also wanted to own one in my house... thanks so much for sharing. stefan
I just imagine the dimensions of your house, Stefan!
You know, this public clock is really big ! Best, anaesdoc
yes, have to reconsider it...
yes, after sending the previous reply to you, i show your photos to my daughter, she also said it seems very BIG... stefan
Wow, this is very nice
Does it have 2 faces? How does it look from the back? I would love one of these for my house, and wonder does JLC sell these? Goh
Identical backside, Goh,...
so it´s not a real Reverso, but more handy for a public clock! I have no idea whether they are for sale. Regards, anaesdoc
Reverso "Très Grande Taille"
I have one in my living room. Not that big, but still. About 17 x 12 inches and of quite solid material and heavy, maybe 8 lbs....
Amazing, Criollo!
So there must be a "reduced" or "midsize" version available somewhere. Is it mechanical ? Maybe Goh and Stefan should contact you for further advice. Best, anaesdoc
It's profane quarz
But very precise. I'm glad I don't have to take it down to wind it up every week. It's heavy, it's not easy to find the fixture behind the clock and you have to polish a bit afterwards. Still, I do it twice a year to adjust for summer-/wintertime.
It's actually a mechanical....
with mice running on a round cage where the main spring would normally be. Every morning, before the commuters arrive, a nice lady in a JLC white coat comes and feeds them and cleans out the mess that inevitably falls to the bottom of the clock.... uh...y...
