Jaeger-LeCoultre

It is now time to reveal this special version of the Tribute To Reverso 1931. I was lucky enough to have a first and quick preview on the prototype of this watch in Geneva: This was not the definitive watch I will introduce you later in this post, but it ...  

Love this new strap ;-)) Thanks for this information Best, Patrickh

What a surprise! Honestly, my immediate thought was. "Why?" - it seems difficult to justify a version so close to the other TT1931 from a marketing point of view. You may argue that it is in line with the recent presentation of the Deep Sea US/EU versions... 

I will risk a theory, here: Those who like the " normal " TT 1931 may not like this US version, and vice versa. Why? Because there will always be people who will prefer the non faux patina for the indexes and hands, for example, or those who will prefer t... 

A very nice watch, not a LE but then who knows in the end. Best regards, George

I love a lot the " limited production " concept. Why? Because rarity does not have anything to see with the appeal of the watch. You love it for what it is, not because it is rare. It may be rare, it may not be, what matters is what you think on it, that ... 

What I meant is that notwithstanding the fact that it is not an LE, as there is no guarantee that it will be manufactired again next year it could de facto become an LE. A new trend maybe? Best regards, George

How can I get one? Not limited edition but limited production without future commitment... Is there any other watch that is harder to get? Best Tyler

It was officially released today, so if you send an email to the BH Boutique, you will certainly get one. Best, Nicolas.

Then, send them an email ( to Seth ), and tell him that you come from PPRO. I doubt you'll have issues to get one. Best, Nicolas.

OMG - another choice ! JLC - and you continue to feed desires in a rapid pace .. Hmm - how does one easily get to LA - 100 pieces (Boutique edition, not LE, but handled as one - interesting) Specifically I am allured by the color of the indices and the wr... 

Thanks for your nice words, and comments, hs. Sleep well! Best, Nicolas.

as I've already ordered the 1931 "standard" tribute and I don't live in the USA. Personally I prefer the indices colour of the US version but I prefer the hands of the standard version. The font of the US version does not appeal to me. Having said that, i... 

I will make the same choice than yours. Not that I'm disturbed by the Reverso font on the dial, but, to me, even if they are nice, I prefer the hands on the " normal " TT 1931. Don't get me wrong, The US version is a very nice and appealing watch, but I l... 

Its nice but I still prefer the original tribute hands. While this is a nice variation, I hope JLC doesn't fall into the LE marketing tactics so many other brands have been doing with slight color/metal variations. But honestly I was hoping for a much big... 

It is limlited in production, which is absolutely not the same. 100 pieces this year, maybe more next year, maybe not. Those who will love it will get it, those who have doubts about it will pass on it, that's a fair game. The current TT 1931 is not limit... 

First thought: I wonder if I can order one through my AD. I guess I am in trouble now. Very interesting news! I must admit I am a bit befuddled by the approach of the limited production without commitment beyond this year and without numbering. I can't qu... 

1/ About the LP approach, I think, honestly, that it is an excellent thing. As I wrote before, only the honest lovers of this watch will get it, not the flippers or those who are more interested about the LE phenomenon. You don't know how many were made. ... 

Personally, I like this one more than the normal TT1931, the strap is one of my favourite points of this watch, I also like the lume and overall look, it feels more like a vintage piece. What do you think of the watch Nicholas? regards Marwan

I would have loved a mix of the two, to make it short: Same dial and hands than on the normal TT 1931, and same reverso writing than on the US, with the same Cordovan strap... Best, Marwan. And thanks for your input. Nicolas.

You wont normally find flippers buying a JLC, its for people that are passionate about watches. JLC's choice to not number them was an excellent choice I spoke to the Beverley Hills boutique last night, they told me that one of the reasons the watch was m... 

BH, Paris, Madrid, and of course each of them may, one day, have its owqn Edition. To be clear, I speak in generak terms, I don'tr mention the Reverso, here. Can't agree more on what you say about flippers and JLC. Best, Nicolas.

I differ on the wording, though. I like it as it is even closer to the original. But I'm with you on the rest of your opinion. Anyway, two great watches which will easily find their respective fans. Best, Nicolas.

The patina vof this US version will perfectly match with your Cali! Best, Nicolas.

This US Tribute to 1931 and the previously announced version are both lovely! Hard to decide which I like better. Hmmmm... Thanks, Nicolas, for this great news! Cheers, Daos

Come on, sister, you can do it! Best, Nicolas.

...only choose one, it would likely be the regular production model TT1931. Cheers, Daos

In my opinion, and I'm an opinionated guy, this watch has much more warmth that the first tribute. And the "quirky" hands adds even more character. But now I'm torn ... Both are excellent tributes, the first one being a more "evolved" tribute ... more ste... 

Before I could see the TT 1931 in the flesh, I suspected the dial was a bit too cold, due to its white indexes. But, in the real, I could notice that the indexes were more creamy than white, and it was a definitve GO for this watch, for me. Now, this new ... 

I actually prefere this one to the 'other' one...love the hands and the strap..!! Is it the same price..? Very nice and great report as usual Nico.. Andy.

About the retail of this US version. I will let you know asap. Best, Nicolas.

No message body

Cheers Nico - I'm always worried about putting prices up just in case it causes problems but as you say this is the retail price so no arguments. Thanks for a wonderful write up - I also prefere this version and for some reason love the font used for the ... 

So, are you in? Warming up? Tell us all! Best, Nicolas.

and can't afford both, but this isn't a LE so maybe one day..!! Which one are you going for...or are you getting both Speak soon dude, Andy.

Then, we'll see. Best, Nicolas

Love it! When will JLC give us a rest..?! Another dilemma – Jaeger LeCoultre or LeCoultre… Both hand configurations look great! What a sweet problem to have! Thank you for this nice surprise, my friend! Best Blomman

At the contrary of the TT DSA, whose dials and character are very different. BUT I would really see myself getting the SS and the RG TT 1931... For once. Best, Blomman. Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-03-17 00:45:53

- I confess, ( if wallet & desire pose the choice) for my part I would definitely FIRST go for the (second/ "other) DSA TT 1959, in my case then the Euro version. Still rattling , those choices.. - glad that I placed the order on ONE DSA (US) - makes myse... 

The TT DSA will be hard to get, once sold out, which will happen quite fast. So, my absolute priority, this year, is the TT DSAs, both of them, of course. Best, Nicolas.

Yes, indeed - Can imagine of course: simply 1 letter (!) makes the difference , (DSA vs DSAs), so distinctly attractive, "les deux", I do know. - You kindly have again confirmed my thoughts ( from the beginning on, BTW) .. "Every journey - no matter how l... 

I would be very lucky if I get one TT 1931… Two is an impossible dream! Best Blomman

I guess in a way it's nice that they offer such an option for people that want the nearest possible to the original design....but that doesn't mean to say it will be the most attractive looking version. If they abandoned that hand design after a year and ... 

Some will prefer the " ponited batons ", others will go on the spade shaped hands, it is a classic. Nobody loves the same watch. Best, and thanks for your answer. Nicolas.

..... Great to see JLC made this Reverso so close to the original. And Graham wll like the ShellCordovan strap, it's perfect for this watch. Thanks alot Vlad for this info. Filip

As for the Cordovan strap, something tells me that it will be a great success. The beginning of a successful partnership? Best, Nicolas.

I think the US is perhaps better but Im waiting to see it in the metal. thank you for the post, I did not expect this to happen best Christian

Then, if you're pleased with it, will be easier to intellectualize the US version. When you come to Paris, maybe? Best, Christian. Nicolas.

I wonder why JLC chose to restrict this model to a certain region, and why they picked the US. Does anyone know? The reason for a US version of the Deep Sea was clear, but in the case of the Reverso I don't see a particular reason... By the way, I am not ... 

My guess is that it was made to put the light on the BH Boutique, but also to " make a gift " to the US Market. The good thing with this offer is that now, you have the choice between 2 appealing versions. Sometimes, more is better than less. May we know ... 

Hello Nicolas, thanks for sharing your view on my question. So far, my JLCs are more on the dressy side, I have a Reverso Duoface, a Master Ultra Thin and a Master Geographic (the old 38mm version, with black dial). But I like a lot of models from differe... 

Sublime watch! Feel free to post all the pictures you want, of this watch. Great selection, too. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-03-17 23:25:11

I really like JLCs black dials. The Master Chronograph with black dial is stunning (I don't mind the date, but would have preferred white font on black background for the black dial), and a regular Master Memovox with black dial would be great, too (the d...  

Thanks, Bodo, for showing this Black Geo! I really have to hunt one. I find it very tempting as it is, and wouldn't change a lot of things on this watch. Lucky you! Black Memo? I'm in! Best, Nicolas.

...for this wonderful information. In your introduction to this watch you mention that it can be had at the BHB as well as at the most important U.S. JLC ADs. Would it be possible to PM me the name/names of these ADs that are in or around the NYC area. I ...

I've been wondering what the hands would look like on this one. I still cannot decide which I prefer? Best, CaliforniaJed

Go and ask to see them side by side, this is the only way to make a decision, my friend. All the Best, Nicolas.

I just can't make up my mind. Hopefully I will be able to see the US edition in person soon. I already have seen the regular version and love it.

You really can't go wrong. Time will tell you, I think, which one to prefer. BUT I definitely want the strap of the US version! Best, Nicolas.
