Finely grained opaline dial, applied hour markers, facetted hands, delicate moon phase... Not bad.
A close up of the 2016 Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Tribute Calendar dial.
We had a quick unveil of the 2016 collection which, if you still ( but would you? ) ignore it, will be placed under the sign of the Reverso.
I kept one shot aside, a focus on the dial of the Reverso Tribute Calendar, which is quite spectacular.

Your previous post has made me like this watch a lot. Now seeing this close-up shot that reveals the beautiful details of the grained dial and moonphase, I like it even more!
Thanks for your feedback, Luis.
I can't wait to see these new reversos in the real.
Best,

It's an amazing piece Nicolas. As I see it even better than your last post regarding 2016 Reversos. It's an elegant masterpiece. It's a pure beauty !!!!! Cheers. Nick. [nt]

Wonderfully executed, great details
Still, as I am more of a white metal case guy, the SS Tribute is more my type.
Very much like the light blue sky colour here, and the texture of the dial - very nice

The Tribute duoface is my favorite from the new collection, too. I will try to post some close ups of the dial. [nt]

Looking forward to those!
One can rarely go wrong with blue and JLC most definitely did not do so in this case
Looks fresh without sacrificing any of the beauty and heritage expected from a Reverso.
The really know how to do it at JLC.
Thanks for your feedback, Martin. We'll soon see it in the details. [nt]

Maintaining all of the traditions. And
The good looks too.
Perfect execution from JLC.
Need to see your pictures next.

That's a nice early Christmas present.
The textured dial is gorgeous, reminiscent of the 1815 HG. And the light blue sky is a beautiful change of pace from black backgrounds; or even dark blue. Can't wait to see the next photo you are going to share.
a jewel
Looks very classy, elegant and timeless. Love the red crescent on the pointer date. Luckily not an annual calendar for the reasons of better affordability and to have the pleasure of setting it and hence spending some time with it.
Thanks for the news.

JLC is not crazy about annual calendars. I asked many times, I always had the same answer. Now we have to check the proportions... [nt]

Aesthetically Beautiful with some quirks
The gold with rectangular case really works well!
When scrutinised under the macro lens like in this picture, I'd note a few things...
1. The tiny gold stars on the moonphase is always excellent to have. Textured moon is a nice touch.
2. Date windows have relatively unrefined edges compared to the striking contrast of the sharp metal indices next to it, and the sharp cutout of the moonphase.
3. Could be perspective, but its amazing how close the minute hand clearance is to the dial...which is an aesthetic bonus for such hands shape.
4. Not forgetting the applied indice at 6, I usually dislike if its numerals that are truncated but such applied tiny baton indices are a nice touch.
5. Interesting to note (which I haven't realised before), is the little internal stepped bezel required to hold the sapphire glass that is prominent in this macro picture. Thinking about it, it just makes you ponder over getting the rectangular case to perfectly fit the rectangular sapphire crystal (which I imagine is much easier with a circular case). Glued on?
One of the complication Reversos that appeals to me besides the simple no-frills model..

I will ask for point 5. I noticed your point 2, too... Thanks for sharing your observations, Skyeriding. [nt]

Probably...
the best Reverso of the batch, although I DO love the Duo Tribute with the navy blue accents (you KNOW how much I love navy with straps!), although I think the Reverso One will be the show stealer, since that is the one hidden in reserve until SIHH.
