That is a Watch I couldn't see in the metal because it was several thousands kilometers away when I was at the Manufacture, but I can't resist to the pleasure to share with you, in avant première, this beauty from the 2014 collection, one month before the SIHH.
One observation on the name of this Watch: There is a small anachronism, here, when it is called G.R.U.T 1931, as the small seconds came a bit after, in 1934, to be precise.
Anyway, this marvel will catch some hearts, without doubts.
The rose gold case, combined to the chocolate dial, is just eye catching.
This is not, from what I have been told a limited edition ( at the moment I write these lines ).
The case has the same dimensions than a TT R 1931 Black or Red or Silver: 46, 8 x 27, 4 x 7, 3 mm.
The movement is the Cal 822 / 2 ( /2 because of the inertia variable balance Wheel, instead of the index adjustement rate ), which beats at 21600 vibrations per hour, manual winding, and offering a power reserve of 45 hours.
The strap, as shown on the picture, is made by Fagliano, a superb Brown Cordovan. But there will be another strap which will be offered for free with this Watch ,a matte Brown alligator.
No folding buckle, but pin, made in 18 Kt Gold.
Here are the photos:

Seduced?
Even the not colored gold guy I am love it!

This is the first thing I noticed, too. I guess we are totally conditionned with Reverso dials, and that any small change in our aesthetical habits is disturbing us.
Well, it just lasted one minute.
As for rose gold watches, I must say that sometimes, it can work on me, if the Watch is not bling. Which is the case with this one. I only see elegance and refinement when associated to this chocolate dial.
Best, my dear Darko.

Thanks for your input, my friend.
All the best,

and the thumbnails.......I might add another JLC to my collection
......
Yes,Jlc is playing safe ...the formula is right,the hearts are won!
They could release a new Reverso a year with all the colours of the rainbow and they will go like hotcakes!
Careful not to have too many i suspect in order to avoid a "swatch collection"effect,but this one....a winner...Rose gold case .brown dial....not difficult..its a winner!
Mo
But I agree, they can win with any of these dials.
Though, this one is one of my favourite rose gold Reverso.
Very appropriate.
Thanks for your input, Mo.

Even if I am still obsessed by the Blue and the Red...

Seductive & warm
So you are becoming convinced in color gold
There is only one thing I would prefer more
to have Reverso written under 12 not above seconds subdial
Thank you for news in advance

Funny what you said about the writing above the small seconds...

This Reverso is my definition of ...
Elegance.
Pure, non-bling, even the gold case show class, high class.
Never had a gold watch but this one breaks this rule.
Add to that, the mandatory (IMHO) running seconds.
Finally the strap. To die for.
Thank you for showing this one.
Cheers,
Nilo
Breaking our own non colored gold rules is a fne compliment for this watch.
Thanks for your input, my friend.
All the best,
Nicolas
I can t see the pics for some reasons but from the front page teaser ..
and the thumbnails.......I might add another JLC to my collection

As for the strap...cordovan no no for me...
Nor matt alligator...Glossy chocolate brown please,for elegance and a touch of vintage charm.
Mo
Well, if you look at the book of the dials, they still hve a comfortable margin. ;)
But I agree, they can win with any of these dials.
Though, this one is one of my favourite rose gold Reverso.
Very appropriate.
Thanks for your input, Mo.
Nicolas
This combo is so fine.
I prefere that outfit much more than black/silver/white dials on white metal (I mean for the Reverso oc).
It is warm, elegant and original. Perfect for casual week-end wearing.
Thanks for sharing Nicolas.
Cheers, Mark
Thanks for your input, Mark. Yes, I think this is a winning combo.
Even if I am still obsessed by the Blue and the Red...
Best,

Weell, Very seductive and tempting.. I will stay tuned for the 2014 news.. ;)
Thx for your kind share,

Very nice, thank you Nicolas. However.....
for some reason, I much prefer the Original with white metal and the crown recessed, with the Cordovan strap it wouldn't be bad either
Cheers
Francois from Down Under
It looks delicious enough and the gold color goes with it super well. [nt]
