The Reverso is an icon, whatever is the color of its dial.

Best, and thanks for your input.

Nicolas.

To be frank I' d say it is nice on your wrist but it looks simply fabulous when worn by your wife. 

AND to give you a better idea of the natural and teue color of the dial.

I must admit that I was puzzled when I saw the Red on my wife's wrist...

Her too, by the way!

Best,

Nicolas

I think I can say I didn't at all see the even smaller part of the full potential this watch has: pleasure, legacy, uniqueness etc ...

I was thinking about it when I went down the review: this Red one is indeed a life style on its own.

I appreciate what the Reverso is but I never could see myself wearing one as I have a (subjective) problem with square watches, but this one as it is very thin too and as it "carries" so much impressions is really something I could consider having.

Thanks for this journey through a watch and panorama dreams Nicolas

Cheers,

Mark

You now have to try it again, to get a deeper appreciation of this " jewel ".

Thanks for your input, Mark.

Nicolas

The watch is very nice and your report highlights its beauty.

But I would have two personal issues with it.

The first one is the strap. Once I buy a watch, I remove the black strap. i don't like black straps... But finding an alternative colour here is not easy, black being the best option IMHO. Second issue is the dress code to match the watch. A very special watch despite its classic context perfect for special occasions.

Thanks a lot for the great pictures and the feelings.

I'm not a big fan of black straps either, but, as you rightly note, black is indeed the best colour for the Reverso Rouge.  I really did try to find another strap for it, but, at best, it would have been black stingray...  

I haven't actually worn my Rouge yet, although I've put a mesh bracelet on it (inspired by another members' earlier post).  I'll probably switch back to the original black strap when my JLC folding clasp comes in.

Kind regards

 

Hi Fr-X

As you know I am in Paris and took the opportunity to see this watch in the metal and I am personally convienced that it would work as a casual watch (but not on the original strap). I think that dark brown or grey could work (suede?) or even black in another material than shiny croc.

But a special watch it is and remains for sure.

All the best to you!

We are used to have this issue with JLC watches, so we are also used to find the solution.

An ostrich strap, or a light tan calf would do the job in a really nice way.

A Cordovan would be sublime, too.

As for the dress code, va white linen shirt is the best...

I tested this very special  point, and didn't have too much trouble.

What a wonderful photos report Nicolas, a real treat for the breakfast !

Aaaargh, you are a lost case for the modern production.

The Vintafe may be for you. The problem is that its value already touched the sky.

No... This Reverso Red is a sympathetic compromise.

Best, my friend. It was a pleasure to let you play with it!

Nicolas

WOW is the only word which could come out as I was scrolling down your review.

Great watch, wonderful pictures, so nicely put in context with a nice story.

Many many thanks for this great post Nicolas.

Kind regards

this watch for your lovely model (wife). This way you can borrow it from time to time when the mood beckons or when it blends in with the environment. I can't imagine you going to court wearing it with your red pocket square and matching tie. What will your client think?

As for my wife, it was a bad idea to let her play with.

Now, she wants one.

But I found anoother toy to change her mlnd.

With a bit of luck, you will see this new toy soon...

Best, my friend.

Nicolas

... of which I especially love this picture:



A very beautiful watch, but for me, it would be too specific in style so I could wear it only very, very rarely.

Marcus

You need to see it in the flesh, Marcus. The REd of the dial is not too shiny, and has a very nice vintage look.

So you can wear it more often than you think. That was one point I wanted to check, indeed.

Best,

Nicolas

I am going to keep the wife away from your post!

We were on the list here with BHB and had to pass due to other commitments however, the red keeps haunting her (of course you know we have the Black TTR US). 

Very festive and chic and elegant..all the key word for my better half. 

Maybe its time to revisit...

and I can have the black TTR US while she sports the Rouge!

Merci my friend.  GREAT Post...bad for the wallet...

As for the wallet, we only live once.

Do never listen to bankers, they are not very funny.



Best,

Nicolas.

I have no other words - especially the shots with the vintage cars are a real killer!

You know that you dont make our live much easier - another temptation! - but certainly much more enjoyable!

thank you for another outstanding post, Nicolas!

Best,

Stefan

I should write " between some cars and some watches "...

The Reverso Red is, obviously, one of them.

After all, driving a fine car with a fine watch is also a lifestyle!

Best,

Nicolas

Nicolas, you know you hooked me with the very first posting on this beauty.  Your shots for this post are absolutely stunning.  I have several saved in my Reverso folder for future viewings!.  Glad you had a fabulous holiday and took advantage of all your locales.

I think this watch has tremendous versatility, and is unique in the lineup.  The rouge varies throughout the various lighting conditions.  Since I never could see this watch before I bought it, this was the one area I was nervous.  But the Boutique people took a great shot of the piece and I was sold.

Voila!

 

Best, and Thanks!
