Insanely jealous...and grateful am I
Thanks for the WONDERFUL post, Daos. It was worth the "interminable" wait. LOL.
Your photos are great, whatever perceived lighting issues you may have encountered. But really the diversity of watches you covered is breathtaking. Had we seen any live shots of the Inverssor before this????? No, and that was a great surprise. I am liking what Nicolas has dubbed the"Destro" EWC -- some nice sublte changes in the dial beyond the color and the left-handed configuration. I am weak for any version of the EWC, but this one is obviously quite special.
And I am so glad you spent a lot of time with the Diving Pro Geos, particularly the comparative shots. I admit, I am consumed with thoughts of the DPG (titanium), so the timing of this post merely adds fuel to the fire -- very, very dangerous for me. You go on the list of people to blame for taking me down this path.
I have never seen the 70eme in person, but it does look gorgeous. So, was that your favorite? Is that the one you came closest to running off with when no one was looking? I think that is one of those "ultimate" Reversos (excluding of course the Tryptique and Gyro II -- but those are not for mere mortals).
Well, thanks again for the very entertaining post. Why do I not live in a city graced by a JLC Boutique?

Happy 1st Anniversary JLC Beverly Hills!
On Thursday, November 12, 2009 the Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique of Beverly Hills marked the passage of their first year in business in one of America's most glamorous shopping districts with a lively, festive celebration centered around the beautiful and dis...
Great post Daos!
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful event and for the lovely watch pics.( I know how hard it is to take pics.under that sort of lighting) My favorite: the Reverso Gyro 2, even though I think it's too big for me. Still I can dream ....... cheers fernando
I agree...
...that the Gyro 2 is a head-turner, Fernando! It's definitely not an anemic watch in terms of size, but what a presence! I think it's visually so interesting, and the play of light all around the dial, the tourbillon and the movement is spectacular. Than...
You manage to perfectly enhance the unbelievable variety of watches
Offered by JLC, Daos. From the simpler to the most complicated watches, they are all ( or almost ) here! The Duomètre, the 70eme, the EWC " Destro ", the Gyro I, II, and the Triptyque, without forgetting the MUT and MGUT, and the Divers, wow, that is impr...
Thank you, Nicolas!
It would've been so nice if you could've been at the boutique with us. I took some video of the Duometre but then my camera conked out! I was hoping my video would be finished in time to post with these other photos because the Duometre is one of my favor...
The Gyro I was my dream watch..
until the Gyro II was released. I can keep on dreaming! And, the Boutique Master 8 Days is indeed stunning. 2 years on, and I am still loving it! Here are a couple of photos: Cheers, Moses...
What a beauty, Moses!
I'm so jealous! This watch is a keeper! Thanks for the photos! Cheers, Daos
Thanks, Stefan!
Which was your favorite? I like the 70eme best of all the watches I photographed. Cheers, Daos
The Triptyque is certainly a marvel...
...but the Gyro 2 is a bit more magical IMO, and thus my preference between the two. Both are great pieces! Cheers, Daos

Glad it was worth the wait! LOL!
I think Nicolas and RoverMark had provided some pictures of the Inversso in previous posts, but it's an unusual model worth seeing again. I prefer the Inversso over the regular EWC because I like the power reserve display better and since I'm right-handed...
Isn't it so nice when a watch makes your heart ache?
I guess we all have our 70emes, then. I did not think of that "advantage" of the Inversso showing only one crown when worn on the left arm. Of course, I view this as a disadvantage becasue I LOVE the compressor keys and do not want them hidden by a shirt ...
I like compressor keys too...
...but sometimes I think maybe it's too much of a good thing with three! LOL! Yes, as much as we laugh and joke about the disclaimers now, I do think it's important to know that any enthusiasm (or lack thereof) about certain brands or pieces are genuine a...
To be quite frank.....
members that are well known do not need a disclaimer.... at least in my opinion..... Cheers
:-) Thanks, Pink...
...but I suppose it is always useful to reinforce the point, particularly for those that might be participating or lurking for the first time. I hope your week has started well! Cheers, Daos
Sad.....
but you do have a point...... My week has been quite busy.... but not that bad- thanks I hope that yours is going well Cheers
Happy 1st...
Happy 1st to Beverly Hills, Great post and nice shots of the watches, especially the special editions. That EWC is one I didn't even know existed..very cool with the shark strap. Thanks for the hard work with the camera. Cheers, Mark V
Have a look here, Mark
You will know everything about the Inverssor! jlc.watchprosite.com Best, Nicolas
As usual Thank you..
As usual Thank You Nicolas, I don't think I ever checked that post out back in May, so thanks again for the re-update on the Inverser. Take care, Mark V
Hi Mark!
The Inverssor is pretty cool, right? It looks so much better to me with the custom shark strap than with the original strap it came on. The original strap was nice -- black croc with white stitching I think -- but the shark with red stitching really adds ...
Thank you for the fabulous posting, my eyes are .....
opening wider and wider. Baxter

Looking for another JLC to join your already excellent collection of Reverso Grande Sun/Moon and MUT? Congratulations, on the new MUT! I was offline for a few weeks and missed so much! I hope you are enjoying your new JLC! Cheers, Daos
love that 70eme
I'm with you on that one - my favourite reverso. I also love that strap on the EWC - that boutique seems to be the "strap kings". thanks for the report and the great photos, stitch
A great strap can certainly add another layer...
...to a watch aesthetically. Thousands of Panerai fans can back me up on that! LOL! Thanks for reading! Cheers, Daos
Happy 1st Anniversary to the JLC BH Boutique....
Congrats to the JLC BH Boutique on their 1st anniversary. And thanks Daos for the post and pics of the event. I wish I could have joined you for the festivities. I agree with you about the gyro tourbillon, it's an amazing watch to handle in person. Here's...
Thanks for sharing the videos, Ed!
It's fun to see the gyrotourbillon and the Duometre's foudrouyante in action! It was a great experience to see and handle these watches in person. Thanks for reading my post! Cheers, Daos
It could only have been better...
...if you had been there to join in the fun! ;-) Cheers, Daos
Thanks!
It was great to see the wide variety of pieces that JLC has to offer. Thanks again for reading! Cheers, Daos
