Fantastic review, great recto - less great verso?
Hi Nico,
Fantastic review - both the pictures and the thoughts that went into writing it. Thanks so much for sharing.
You asked for our thoughts; herewith mine, very much aligned - I fully agree with you, great recto and question-marks reg the verso (pun intended):
•The recto (front) is great and in line with what I would have expected and I come to like from a Reverso: timeless dial, harmonious combination of grande date, time and moon-phase with small second - Dauphine hands.
The architecture of the information even reminded me a little of the cabaret (if only because there aren’t so many rectangular watches with big date).
•The Verso is for me much less exciting: while I’m sure the sky (and blue rendering) is probably stunning, I’m missing a little bit the surprise in terms of functions. I see it a bit like an improved version of the duo rather than a “hahaha” effect befitting a limited, anniversary edition. Do you have any insight why they went for such a combination (time, date, moon-phase + day/night indicator)? Can it be related to maximum power which can be stored or available space within case?
Altogether a beautiful watch for sure, more in line with a daily wearer? Maybe in that context it helps create a better combination which will be worn “for real” and enjoyed on the wrist daily?
Best,
Jérôme
Ps: additional thought / 2 cents: when it comes to Reverso, I’m always unsure about the models where one cannot engrave the case-back. I had for a time the “Art Deco” with skeleton movement; the view was nice … and I was however missing the option to engrave. If I had had the chance (and engraved) would probably have kept it because it would have become so much more personal.

Power reserve for moon-phase then?
Interesting that the power reserve is the limiting factor - Would also mean that between the septantieme and nonantieme, they traded the power reserve indicator for moon-phase? They both have time, date, second, day/night indicator - and the 70th have pow...

Thanks for the clarification, never realized that jumping hour would be so “energy intensive”
Thanks for the write up, Nico....
I, too, like the "drifting jump hour," but would have preferred a 2nd timezone. Especially since the front is SO practical with the date and poetic with the moonphase. -Dean
Nice review! 👍
I actually like the verso side quite a bit. It is so beautifully executed I think I can live with the imprecise sliding hour display. Regarding the recto side (and also many modern-era reversos), I'm not a big fan of dauphine hands on a reverso. I love da...
A thorough review...
I agree with you. The movement isn't perfect. Nor is it executed in a special material like the 60eme and the Septieme which were in gold. This seems like a less thorough redo. That 60eme is really a special watch. All the rose gold limited edition Revers...
Great review, superb fotos !.. I like this anniversary model, especially this sublime Verso side, but with a Recto, that offers all one needs, apparently..
.. on a personal note, I also would have liked a Dual Time version; you might as well use it for a 2nd time-zone, Or, if one likes it, simply set the charming Verso time and the Recto reading for the same time; thus two faces for the same time. Alltogethe...
Lovely writing and very nice photos!
Thanks my friend, great writing! I fully agree with you, the aesthetic is sublime and execution quality cannot be questioned. However, I also agree with your slight disappointment on the movement: two time zones and an instant hour change would have made ...
Amanico, you are the best!
A very accurate review, detailed and you prove your points. I have two Reverso’s, it funny my wife likes the bigger one and I like the Tribute burgundy dial smaller one. Regardless this is not the watch for me but I will be looking fo r the older versions...
