Together at last - my three Reversos
After a week with the new (to me) Reverso Chronographe Rétrograde, I finally managed to bring all three of my Reversos together.
They each represent a phase in the life of La Grande Maison.
The Chronographe is from the time where they fought to re-learn haute-horlogerie after the Quartz crisis. Fascinating story.
The Grande GMT is from what I think if as the strongest period of the Reverso where they launched this model, the Sun/Moon and a number of other models.
Finally, we have the Tribute to 1931 where JLC aimed at reinventing the Reverso line to give it new life. In addition, this is a boutique edition tied to the opening of the JLC Boutique on Madison Avenue.
Together, they form a perfect trio (in my eyes) and given that they are a team, they are all wearing suede straps.

Your rectangular bases are nicely covered. The King is the Chronograph, here. A king' s choice. ;)
Beautiful trio. My first choice would be the chronograph, than
the GMT and finally the tribute.
Thank you - and agree in principle. The Tribute has a special meaning for me as a memento of three wonderful years living in NY.
Great trio
The 1931 is gorgeous and the Chronograph is amazing, but my heart is still with those big 8-day Reversos. Here's a shot of my (departed) Sun-Moon.
True! Somehow I managed to forget the 8 day movement of the Grande GMT (and the related models). Such a fest by JLC 🚀
Very, very nice Threesome !.. You picked great examples for each time stretch.. Chapeau !!
Yes, it really does. And this is just scratching the surface. So many models to chase.
Just exquisite! We don't really see these kinds of exceptional collections within JLC collectors!
Thank you for your kind words. Getting the GrandeGMT some 9 months ago made me realize the depth of the historie Reverso line
That was my favorite piece. Unfortunately it's a little big for me.
But that Grande GMT was an amazing watch. So glad to see this collection; we see people showing their multi Patek collections - this is not uncommon. But to see a multi-JLC collection, that's rare! Especially a lovely REVERSO collection such as this! Exquisite!
