JLC - Chronograph rétrograde is my favorite

What is your favorite verso side view or complication?

It's been a very long time since I've worn this one. Six months? A year? The Reverso Duo is perhaps the epitome of the Reverso, even if historically the verso side is known for its blank metal. I much prefer a usable verso side, and a dual time complicati...

What is your favorite verso side view or complication?

Here the killer side is the verso.

I knew this would be your answer :)

And made in white gold ( plates and bridges )!

Ah, yes, I forgot it was rendered in white gold. Even more special.

Definitely!

Drooling

Thank you!

Frank Muller's verso chronograph is his most killer solution

I forgot this one ( the FM! ). Excellent, my friend.

That is a cool piece. I don't remember seeing that one.

Never saw this one before 🤩

I’m with you all the way.

Which side do you wear most often?

The black dial. I love the Art Deco style guilloche. Great watch. Regards Kev.

Underrated side

Yeeees! love it. It is made for that complication.

Love the Grand Sport Chrono. Such an underrated watch. Excellent rectangular shaped chrono movement.

These are the ones, well four, I like best, all

Hard to match those two. The RGD has an amazing dial layout and movement view.

I'm not sure which of these sides I prefer

Very nice. You have been through many, and still have some of the best.

Local seller, low price, almost an even swap

Favourite Verso side

Snap!

Very familiar, and with the OEM ostrich strap.

The strap has lasted very well & developed its own patina over the years.

An uncomplicated Verso

Awesome one. The Ceniceros edition is fantastic.

Thank you! It still catches my eye, after all these years!

Hmmmm, what a delight, this Ceniceros!

Thank you my friend! It’s like a bracelet with the verso

I much prefer the white tile side with the numerals

I wear the silver dial side much more often, but the charcoal side is a beauty.

Guilloche Extraordinaire!

Classic yellow gold. Nice one!

Delicious.

and here is my fave Reverso verso

Hmmmmm, Je Reve de Verso. ;)

Very cool Reverso Memory that we don't often see around here.

Ok, here goes...

Another forgotten one. Superb.

Wonderful iteration. I lusted after this one for many years.

This Art Deco model is an absolute stunner 😍 🔥

I am partial to a few but there are so many so tough to decide amongst them all...

The tourbillon is a favorite.

Exactly John. The Lambert era is still my favorite and the best we've seen from JLC inn my almost 30 years in this passion. The Reverso Tourbillon 1 is a stealth beast as well 😉👍

But the Reverso Tourbillon RG is pre Lambert. ;)

I would say the Geographique, for its friendly complication on the verso. Or the Chronograph, which is awesome.

The Chronograph, especially with the skeletonized version in rose gold is super stunning indeed 🔥

Which Chrono skeleton???

Am I mistaken to think the RG Reverso retrograde chronograph has a transparent display back showing the chronograph and column wheel? Not a true skeletonized dial but transparent 🤷‍♂️🤔

You are right. Not skeletonized per se, but parts of the movement are indeed visible, including the column wheel.

Exactly. Either way, the view is spectacular 👌

Not a skeleton, indeed. It would have been a skeleton if you cold see though the movement.
