It is blue - very blue - in most light.
If I had to guess, this purple is activated by a hight proportion of yellow light. Otherwise, the watch looks exactly as it does on the JLC website (recommended for reference), and metallic blue is the dominant aesthetic.

SIHH 2018. A Teaser picture of the Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute Small Seconds.
There is a lot to say on this Reverso from the 2018 collection. I will have to write something on it. What I can already say is that its dial is capricious to take in picture, to say the least, and that the outcome is surprising. You will know more why wh...
I quite agree with you
It is utterly exquisite, and then look at the price. I think that my value/price algorithm is being re-formatted as we speak. I am looking forward to seeing more pics and your comments. Thank you. Kind regards, Antony
Lovely
I love the blue of this dial, yes it's spoiled by the oversized circular subdial, a proper rectangular one would look more authentic and wouldn't eat in to the minute track....but I forgive JLC, that's how much I love the colour and finish of the dial
now that one doesn't speak....
it just SINGS....as beautiful as it could get with blue... thanks for sharing Nico ! i was too inquisitive, i was searching for it all over web & finally got details in the JLC website ;-) Best, mahesh.,
Thank you Nicolas, this is a beautiful, extremely elegant "Chronometer" Reverso.
The "perhaps overwhelming" (for some) secondes sub-dial gives the cadran a real chronometer/horological character to the watch, which I love. Is your Priv-Mail working? Warm regards. Francois
Wow! Agreed value/price ratio is incredible!
This piece is already available for sale on JLC's website in USA!
Whoaaa
I was waiting for your post since I've heard about this one from Watch_kha_wen post. It looks great and since the tribute duo was a bit small on my wrist IMO, I really look forward to seeing this one in the flesh. Nice complement to the tribute 1931 line!...
It amazes me how year after year...
JLC continues to refine the Reverso line. It never seems to get old.
Totally beautiful timepiece ...
... and great that it is apparently already available at a very nice price point. Tempted!
Boom: Like That
A real chameleon. Blue to purple and back with a Fagliano blue strap. My favorite JLC of 2018 so far. ...
Nico, I love this one to death.
It's impossibly charismatic, imaginative, and beautifully appointed with that blue Fagliano strap. I only wish I had a chance to meet you at SIHH; I think we missed each other at JLC by only a few hours. I spent almost all of my SIHH with Patrick from Pur...
Thank you
Thank you Tim and Amanico for the prompt assurance! Finally a beautiful JLC piece available to the public without it being a limited nor boutique edition. I wanted to get the blue memovox boutique edition a while back but none had ever shown up on any for...
SIHH coverage
I wonder why there is such low coverage of this watch in SIHH 2018? No one seems to talk about this watch? It should have been highlighted more, it is such a beautiful classic, finally in sunburst blue, dauphine hands, small seconds, in a moderate size, w...
Oh lord this is gorgeous!
I was gonna pick up the new Polaris memovox but now I want this!
Purple??
Hi Tim, I just joined the forum when I saw this post. I really would like to acquire a pure blue reverso (like Rolex’ pure sunburst blue on their datejust and daydates) but looking at your post, it looks like the watch has a strong purple hue?? Is it the ...

Now here is a piece I must see!
thank you Nico. It looks very, very interesting. Good to hear your assessment of it too. Best Christian
Found a nice video of the 2018 blue Reverso Small Second, taken at SIHH
The watch looks spectacular in motion, and we get to see the Casa Fagliano workbench, too. (Click on this message to expand it and see the link. For some reason, the link isn’t showing in normal message view.) Here is the link : A.N.
Handled it today in boutique....
What a great dial. But the biggest surprise is the odd change in proportions. It’s become wider and squarer and I don’t like it personally. Velociphile
After seeing this in the metal
This is now officially my favourite Reverso, and by far my favourite JLC in recent years..... everything about it is magical, from the dial colour to the case proportions and strap. Initially, I was skeptical with it being larger than my GT which to me is...
Finally got mine today after a long wait
The blue on the dial is a true blue, no purple hues. Very well executed, you see the quality of the fabrication, the price tag is very resonable for such a finely finished piece. I only wished the strap wasn’t 20/20 but 20/16 like the classics. If JLC doe...
Enjoying it! Merci Nico
I am actually going to put on a 20/16 black alligator strap with a 16mm JLC pin buckle, will do it this weekend and post a photo
