Jaeger-LeCoultre

Well, my friends, I just have been authorized to share with you an exciting, very exciting news.

This is a topic we discussed very recently.

It was about what you hoped to see in a very popular line, next year.

Any guess here?

One hint: It is a rectangular model, and a pretty iconic one.

Do we discuss about it right now, and do you prefer to report this discussion in .. let's say ... a few weeks?

Looking forward to hearing your wishes...

Best,

NicoVlad. This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-12-02 10:21:41 This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-12-02 10:30:17 This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-12-04 03:01:59

2011 is shapping up nicely.........

The Manufacture did good!  Simple was the way to go.  I love that the dial only reads"Reverso" as if to indicate this watch is so iconic it can dispense with mention of the manufacturer's name altogether. 

I love the black dial version in particular. I am a bit disappointed that there is no see-through back, but I bet that would have increased the height of teh watch, so it is understandable to dispense with it for ultrathinness.  The ultra-thin movement and design is complication enough for this watch.  And yay! No date!  Manual wind.  Can't wait to see images of the movement.

So, I am correct that the XGT case size is a bit smaller than the Grande 976 case size, right?  I can't wait to see one and try one on -- I hope it is not so limited that I will have this opportunity some day. 

This is great news, Vlad.  What do YOU think of it?

Best,

respo

As for the lack of see through case back, this is indeed very easily understable.

First, it would augment the thickness of the watch, which was the main critic on the XGT case.

Then, it would not be faithful to the spirit of the original Reverso 1931.

So, I think that it is a great move.

Yes, the XGT case is smaller than the Grande 976: 2mm x 0, 75 mm less.

The respective thickness of theses watches is important, too: 7, 2 mm for the TT 1931, 12 mm for the XGT, and 9, 7 mm for the Grande 976.

AFAIK, this is a LE of 1931 pieces, so if you want one, you will get one.

Now what do I think?

I'm very enthusiast on these LEs ( I didn't see, yet, the non LE version ).

I want to see it in the flesh, and have a precise idea on the dial.

So, I will come back to this watch, for sure, and will give you my definitive thoughts on it, but a very positive " a priori ".

Best,

Nicolas

Yes, that is limited but not terribly so.  1931 pieces is a generous number.  This should be a democratic special edition, after all.  I am eager to see the non-limited regular production version, too.

The thickness sounds very nice.  The thickness on the 976 is very good and proportional to the case size, IMHO -- one of the reasons I love this model.  But it sounds like the height of the TT 1931 Reverso will also be perfect. 

Thank you,

respo

Now, tell us now what the deal is.

Pictures, can we have pictures???

George
