Jaeger-LeCoultre

To the JLC aficionados, recently I saw an unusual JLC watch at a German airport and thought, you might appreciate the photos. 1. First glance at a fair distance 2. Some familiar look, let´s get closer 3. That is a R......, isn´t it? 4. Yes, there can be n...  

Nice pics, by the way! It changes a bit from the too often seen round clocks! Thanks for sharing. Best, Nicolas

---, but my main concern is about the wrist! LOL, anaesdoc

Thanks for the photos! This is one of the coolest public clocks I've seen! Cheers, Daos

... and I can remember having seen some other funny ones like the huge Tissot watch (was it from Tokyo?) somewhere here, Daos. There was also a series of ancient town clocks displayed sometime. Best regards, anaesdoc

thanks for sharing it with us Cheers

...but I am very tempted. LOL. I wonder what kind of straps Nicolas would try on this one... That clock is fantastic. I would love to see one of those in our train station. Thanks for posting these pics. respo

this is a very cool reverso i ever seen, you know, after seeing this, i just luaghted and felt very happy and also wanted to own one in my house... thanks so much for sharing. stefan

You know, this public clock is really big ! Best, anaesdoc

yes, after sending the previous reply to you, i show your photos to my daughter, she also said it seems very BIG... stefan

Does it have 2 faces? How does it look from the back? I would love one of these for my house, and wonder does JLC sell these? Goh

so it´s not a real Reverso, but more handy for a public clock! I have no idea whether they are for sale. Regards, anaesdoc

I have one in my living room. Not that big, but still. About 17 x 12 inches and of quite solid material and heavy, maybe 8 lbs....  

...I want one as well. N

So there must be a "reduced" or "midsize" version available somewhere. Is it mechanical ? Maybe Goh and Stefan should contact you for further advice. Best, anaesdoc

But very precise. I'm glad I don't have to take it down to wind it up every week. It's heavy, it's not easy to find the fixture behind the clock and you have to polish a bit afterwards. Still, I do it twice a year to adjust for summer-/wintertime.
