Jaeger-LeCoultre

Is it the Reverso, and if yes, which one, or a round watch, such as the Polaris or the Deep Sea Alarm or the Duometre or??? At the contrary of some other brands, Jaeger Lecoultre is not cannibalized by one model. For example, Audemars Piguet has the Royal...  

dial (pre ca. 2016) is their most popular model because i have seen it on not-purists wrists many times. But i also feel like their classic models (like the MUT date) are a bit younger than similar dress watches by other brands due to their very clever in... 

Its funny that noone seems to love their black dailed PC even if this piece is complex and sporty (what many people seem to like)

Some of the old forum members know this; but for those who don't... The first watch I had a passion for was Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre. First love. I've always loved the shape of the case and the Art Deco style since before I was a teenager. I never real... 

But that watch you have pictured, definitely has the most sex appeal.

Popular for whom? And on what basis? Should I venture a guess, I imagine Reverso is, by far, the model most readily associated with JLC amongst watch buyers in general. It has the longest and most enduring history; while other models, e.g. the Memovox or ... 

...but from a personal point of view it would have to be the Reverso. Iconic, timeless and innovative design, and IMHO there’s never been one produced that doesn’t look good. Regards Kev.

because of the history, recognition factor, and multitude of models available. My favorite is the Duomètre series which leaves me borderline breathless.

My understanding is that they only sold 359 of them!

Quite popular amongst my friends and colleagues. Especially the ladies seem to like it a lot. For me the Reverso works best when it is simple and elegant : the "Burgundy" would be my favorite.

among watch enthusiasts (general enthusiast & purists) would be the Reverso because of the history, the iconic shape & it has been in JLC's collection longer than other popular models i.e Memovox, Geophysic, Polaris etc.

if we were to take a poll from a larger sample size, I would assume the Reverso would be the majority of the responses when someone thinks about JLC.

what else? One of few watches with a rectangular case.

But for me, if I could buy only one realistic JLC it would be the US DSA as you have posted here. And much less realistically, the Gyro 2 in Platinum is on my Mt. Rushmore of ALL TIME Grails.

But the entire "vox" line runs long and deep....Memovox to Polaris to Amvox to Polaris. I am partial to vintage Polaris models and the first re-issue, but especially partial to the AMVOX 1, part of the Polaris lineage.

but Reverso is king of the JLCs...

Mad science!!!!!!!

Having said that, I wonder if their sales reflect it.

The story behind it, the folks who've worn it, the art deco era, the design itself arguably rivalled only by the Cartier tank. From a sports standpoint, i wish they REALLY concentrated on one line to rival the Rolexes and Omegas of the horo world.. I'd pr... 

Was the master compressor line. However, that was because of my interest in tool watches. I actually knew about the reverso line Long before that but never really appreciated its history or the brand.

But now after 10 years, it’s the Reverso line. Burgundy gets my vote.

I’m not an expert on JLC but I would guess it’s the Reverso. Such an icon watch with great story behind and one million different iterations. Not my most favorite JLC but alas. My vote would go to Duometre (the older one with that free floating rotating t... 

the black dial Duometre you are referring to would be in white gold 👍

Didn’t have the details available just the picture in my head

I figured that you just mixed up the details in any case 😁😉

And fascinating because it’s not one reverso or one duometre in my mind, but the category that counts. But geophysic is one of most special watches out there, it is my grail, and so that’s easily on top.

But duometre is such a unique, special watch, and seems to be so admired by enthusiasts, that’s an easy on too. Why I say possibly reverso too is that there are so many stunning modern versions of this one. Some simple, like the rouge or the bleu, others ... 

When it comes to a sporty watch it has to be the Deep Sea Alarm imo. It is an undeniable icon of JLC, combining the alarm function with a heavy and waterproof case. But if you are looking for a watch that is the incarnation of understatement which is typi...
