Glad to see you giving love to JLC and the reverso..Welcome to the world of high end non Rolex

Its one of the best looking reversos. I‘m a proud owner of this model. It cames with a black alligator strap which is nice but i had to add the brown fagliano strap. This brown strap gives the watch a much sportier character but its elegant at the same time. After one month of owning this piece i couldn‘t be happier. Its just a awesome awesome watch.

Saw this in person and had the exact same reaction. The strap enables it to be casual, but if you dress up, you're still wearing a Reverso, so it works. You've also nailed the description of the action of flipping it. So satisfying. I'd never really thought about owning a Reverso, but now, having tried one on, it's shot to the top of my list.

Just picked up this JLC Reverso and I love it-thanks for the positive support of this great time piece.

When I first got into watches in my early 20s, I was fascinated with the Reverso. I'm saving for my next purchase now with the intent of getting a stainless steel bracelet sports watch, but my pennies may be directed towards this. It's beautiful and fits with a casual style - thanks for showing this off, Adrian!

Love the Reverso, Love the Shell Cordovan. Spot on analysis of the piece (especially around the leather reducing the formality of the watch) Very insightful as always, brother! And an early congrats on hitting 60k (that'll probably tick over this evening ;))

Love your casual, down-to-earth attitude and great video. I am actually looking at the Reverso Classic Medium right now, not the Duo face but the regular model. And I agree with everything you say about the watch. Especially about the strap. It really kind of tones down the more elegant side of the watch but still remains classy and elegant looking. I wear exactly the same style clothing as you do in the video, plus a 23-year-old leather bomber jacket, and the watch looks absolutely amazing with that. It is so versatile. When I first tried it on, I was wearing my 47mm Panerai Luminor, and I had absolutely no problem transitioning to the Reverso. My first Reverso is the Burgundy Red dial Tribute model, which was announced last year at SIHH 2019. I absolutely love it, but it is just a different level than the Classic. And I never want to part with it, although it is not perhaps quite as versatile as the Classic. And it is the same size as the Large Classic, but works better for some reason. Your observation about the Large Classic is spot on, I just think it is a bit too large for this type of watch, although my wrist size of 7.25in can accommodate it very well. I have tried on the Classic so many times, including today, and now your video has completely sold me on it. Although I do realize you don't work for the company! Thanks again and Cheers to you, Carl

I had been waiting for this video to drop! I own this exact piece and it’s probably one of my favorites in my collection. It’s a timeless classic and in medium is just right! The quick release function on the strap is also a blessing and just ordered the same strap you have touched upon in a deep blue to compliment the hands. Would recommend this timepiece to anyone who is fortunate to be able to own it. Keep up the great content Adrian!

I absolutely love this watch. The golden ratio really comes to play when it comes to the aesthetics of the reverso.

Genuinely exactly my dream watch, size, colours and everything. Very much enjoyed the video, thanks.

Hands down the most beautiful, elegant dress watch ever designed.

Went to a JLC shop in Vancouver as few weeks ago and love playing with the Reverso, also the staff were warm and welcoming unlike the Rolex boutique across the street!!

Adrian, great content as always - thanks for the vids, they're great fun. The reverso isn't a watch I need (or even want tbh) but it's way cool. And I agree, that strap is awesome and really sets it off nicely.

Great video and an absolute stunner of a watch. I recently bought a Master Ultra Thin Date and you're making me think I should have looked closer at the Reverso range. Never mind, I'll put it on my wish list. This is what I look forward to - enthusiastically made videos about really interesting watches that I had previously overlooked. Great stuff, keep it up Adrian.

Thank you for this video. I really love Reverso and its one of my dream watches that i completely see the cool factor on it!

I started my watch journey adoring Rolexes and Omegas like everyone else, then discovered high horology of Lange and Journe, and finally settled on JLC Reverso as the perfect compromise of elegance and practicality.

My favorite watchmaker! Thanks for covering this, Adrian!

The coolest watch , subtle and classy

Timeless. One of the few on my grail list. Thank you for a great review.

Right! That awesome strap turns the watch back into an everyday, sporty watch, bringing it back to its origins. I love the version that's not a duo-face. Any watch that you can imagine Scott Fitzgerald or Hemingway having worn, I'm all in for. Great review as always, Adrian!

Agree ! ! Love wearing my Grande Taille small seconds just around the house even when I'm not going anywhere -- despite picking up the occasional nick or scratch by doing so. I opted for the single-face model to remain true to JLC's original sports-watch intention. Totally classic!

I'm 22 and started my collection with a seiko skx, then I got a speedmaster reduced. And now I'm in love with the reverso. I'm studying at the moment and I'm not sure if I can pull this dressy watch off with 22... Maybe I should wait till I'm working in an office.. I will see. This watch stunning!

Adrian I couldn’t agree with you more on the effect of that amazing brown fagliano strap. So coincidentally I was cycling through central London today and stopped in traffic next to a guy about our age, casual jeans, nice blue shirt and rocking this exact reverso damn it looked good!

Great video, the reverso is an art deco classic and I love my duo-face 2718410. I wear mine with jeans, chino's and even my suit should I need nowadays, it's more versatile than folks think and looks really cool. I agree with your comments on the strap mine has a brown alligator and I plan to change it at some point to something more casual looking.

Great choice for a watch review. Highly insightful and I entirely agree with your opinion. Many thanks please keep doing these videos

I just discovered there are three categories of watches: genuinely cool watches, uncool watches and watches that are so uncool that they're cool. This changes everything. Thx for the review, I'm coming in for landing on the thought of getting my hands on a classique.

Great review! JLC is a massively under appreciated and undervalued watch brand. Beautiful reverso and I would have one over a tank anyday

It only took 3 years since I first watched this video, but I finally got my Reverso. For my 60th bday (9/2/22) I got the Reverso Tribute Duoface (blue & silver). This video gave me the idea to order a spare brown strap with it. It's so much more versatile, now. Thanks, Adrian!

Saw this video the first time Wednesday last week.... Watched in a few dozen times since then....Bought my the exact reference in your video today! Going to give it to myself this September for my 40th.

i've had mine for 15 years and the mechanism still works fine.

It’s been a while since you’ve been this excited about a watch dude i like it :)

Hi, my friend! I have recently purchased a Hometime Squadra Reverso. White dial, skeleton back. It is a pre-owned, excellent condition with box and papers. At first, I was taken aback. After ten minutes of wearing this wrist art! I was taken in by its beauty, the white dial with guiloche and silver enhancements, black numbers and hands. I fell for this little gem, wore it for ten straight days, except to shower. It wears perfectly on my wrist (7.5), just so very comfortably with no annoyance of being there what so ever. I am sleeved (Tattooed) on both arms, looks great, wears great! This has become my true wrist art, gem!!! Thank You for the video!

Thanks Adrian, I also like the JLC reverso but felt the same it's to formal to sit in my collection until you dropped this clip. I've watched this 3 times now haha and have to own this watch. It's just awesome and cannot wait for collection day which for the record will be 9 to 12 mths. 👍

Perfect pick - I’m thinking of this one for me! Just checked out one today at watches of Switzerland in Melbourne Love the calfskin look which can be dressed down and used more !

Really great vid Adrian. One of my favourite watches. I have always resisted buying one for fear of buying the wrong one or seeing a version I like more. Choices choices.

Love it. Tried one on today. I’m in love.

Great vid again, Adrian. I like this watch. And I agree with you. The style of the Reverso essentially depends on the strap you put on it.

Watch looks amazing its the ArtDeco look that gets me with a watch like this beauty and functionality oozes from what not to love...

A truly lovely watch, thanks for posting it Adrian.

One of my all time favourites.

That strap ! Totally changes the whole vibe... beautiful... The shots where you put your hand in the jeans pocket, immediately conjured mental images from Dick Francis novels....of wealthy, casually dressed race horse trainers, strolling the stables and checking on the horses. I had no idea the reverso was tied to Polo. Really enjoyed the video ! All the best....

Love the watch. This exact model will be my next purchase in coming winter. I will match it with a light brown ostrich strap because I think it dresses the watch even more down. I want to wear it all the time in my free time and not only as a dress watch.

I’m a proud owner of a Reverso Medium Small Second. I wear it more as a normal sports watch and not as a dress watch only. As you said a brown leather strap dressed it down for a more casual wear. And the medium size is worn much better on my 18.5 centimetres wrist than the large version. I’m quite happy with my Reverso. The next step for me is going to be a nice engraving for the backside.

Love the video. I tried on both models in the video in the same shop 3 weeks ago, shout out to Mary for looking after me. I totally agree that the medium size is the one to go for. My dream JLC is the Tribute Duo 399 84 20, I prefer the cleaner face with no numerals. Dream dress watch.

It is a classic & a very cool time piece. I have been thinking about buying my wife one but in 25 years of being together she has never had a watch with a leather band wearing Longines, Rolex & AP until most recently having me pull the trigger on the Tudor P01 for her as she loved it (she thought it would more like a bracelet to wear with boots & jeans on the weekend as opposed to her daily wear AP "BRICK"). This would be perfect for her, especially the two time zone element. Great review & VLOG as always Adrian.

Just got mine yesterday. Great Watch!

I don’t lust over luxury watches, but man the concept of dual faces in such a compact size is so cool to me. Can’t wait to pick one of these up someday

Thanks for the review. Someday I hope to get one. Always great videos.

I love my JLC, just oozes class.

Great video! It's my favourite watch, and I only dream about owning one someday! I would love to see JLC experiment more with dial configurations on this case size instead of the large models.

This watch was somewhere on my wish list, but seeing this variant has catapulted it somewhere near the top now! Much more wearable for me.

A reverso has been one of my grail watches. Just bought a preowned Grande Reverso Duoface, reference 273.8.85, and can't wait for it to come.

Since I saw Pierce Browsman bring is own rosegold reverso in Thomas Crown Affair movie, this watch came in my top 5 most wanted watch and never left this list. #oneday. Amazing video! Thank you.

I have that reverso duo and it's my favorite of my watch collection

Jack, love your channel. At first didnt get your rolex explorer love, then I picked up a 39mm. Omg, you are 100% right. Cant get enough of it.

Good see you exploring some new brands

Loves Reversos. That's why I own a Grande Taille. You're right about Reverso wearers; they always watch lovers.

Excellent review 👏 and such a gorgeous piece. Well done!

I love this model, practical and gorgeous! 🙌🏻

100% AGREE!!!! This is the exact Reverso I’ve wanted for a long time. I would wear this with jeans and t-shirts or business suits

Great video Adrian as always! I completely agree with your assessment of the strap. Before you even said you disagreed I was like "wait, that strap does the opposite." Well played mate.

I’ve always found the effort ie . The Master Control element of JLC a true horological endeavour. It’s hard to quantify 1000 hrs of testing . Superb watches

Adrian, I have bought the reverso duoface large ref 3848422 the same watch that you have recorded. Thank you for helping me making my decision. I love your channel.

Tried one of these on and you’re spot on about the flipping. I didn’t wanna take it off!

Very cool watch. Thank you for an excellent review Adrian :)

Love it, tried it on last week. Might be my first highend peice

Grand Seiko! How the spring drive works and what not. Great videos as always!

I have a Thin Tribute to 1931 Reverso, the limited edition with the syringe hands. It was my first every "luxury watch" purchase. It's a fantastic watch and you can easily dress it down. The Reverso in general is one of the most underrated pieces out there, and by underrated I mean in terms of ownership.

Amazing watch and you have done a great job!!! Thanks mate

I enjoyed the review of a great watch- also good on the ostrich leather strap that has more of a summer vibe while retaining the casual style. Thanks!

Absolutely stunning !

Great review Adrian, love that watch

An incredible watch, possibly the best value of all iconic luxury watches. I have this version and it wears great casually on the CF (style) strap featured- and also works great with coloured suede straps to mix it up a bit in the summer. I even picked up a beads of rice bracelet which looks great.

Loved to see it on your channel...I have seen one in person it’s a great watch

Great video 👍 we absolutely love the Reverso and will definitely have one in the collection one day!

Nice video Adrian. I can see you're feeling the love. My favourite Reverso is the Gran Sport Chronograph. Two very different faces which makes it very interesting and there's more to play with!

Sir I’m begging you to add a JLC to your collection. You will love it and we would love to see you expand your horizons!!

Great review Adrian! A fun watch to perhaps review for the ladies is the Chopard Happy Sport with floating diamonds. My wife purchased a preowned steel version and loves it!

Your video was very helpful. I was able to get a 2 year old watch with box and papers from a private seller. After wearing it for 2 days, I have to say that it is easy to wear. I had a Cartier Tank Francaise in steel as my everyday watch, want to keep it and I didn‘t expect that I would get used to the Reverso so quick. I think, the Duoface offers great value in comparison to the regular Reverso with the steel back, because I can get a second dial for an additional € 2‘500.

An Art Deco masterpiece & one of the greatest designs of all time.

Thanks a lot, Adrian, now I want an expensive watch I never really cared for until I saw this video. 😩

Really cool piece! JLC are a brand I think that every watch aficionado should have an appreciation for. They are the daddy in a lot of respects. If you were building a dream, money no object watch collection, a JLC reverso would be in it no question 👍 Hope you are enjoying our Bonnie Scotland Aidrian 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So cool that even Donald Draper wore one. Truly a timeless watch, one of my favorite watch designs ever

Timeless elegance

Like you I don’t do dressy that often, however I can appreciate the Reverso for it’s timeless elegance. I would settle for time only and a plain back though to keep it true to its intended purpose. Also like the Cartier tank so it would be a close run contest. Great video though Adrian, the quality of photography and video must leave other Tubers envious. 👌

I love the Reverso too. The Duo face models are so nice with their contrasting dials. I think if I were to buy a Reverso it would be a Tribute to 1931 or maybe a Duo face. You are definitely correct in saying that the strap enhances the look of the watch in that it makes it more casual looking. Nice review. ✊

I agree....the strap dresses it down....lovely....

Great video and a truly beautiful and dapper watch.

I own a Cartier Tank Anglaise and wear it every day whatever I am wearing. To me it is not just a dress watch and I love it dearly. I am not a watch collector and the idea of having more than one exclusive watch has always seemed an unwarranted extravagance. However, I have recently discovered the JLC Reverso and, frankly, I want one. I love the simple elegance, similar in many ways to my Cartier Tank, but that leather strap really does suit the JLC Reverso and makes me wonder if I could justify a purchase as a more casual wear watch for dress down days.

Great review and a top class watch,perfect size as well.

Great review, you make our passion for watches grow! How about reviewing: Oris-big crown pro pilot IWC-mark XVIII

I think its a lovely watch. Id love to have one if money was no objection. Amazing video Adrian as usual. Keep it up from Malta 💪🏼💪🏼

Just got mine yesterday (but I got the large cause I’m taller than most people) and I’m still pinching myself. I just adore it and can’t believe I finally own my own. My brown strap should arrive in two weeks, cause I agree being able to dress it down some will make it so I get more mileage out of it. Really enjoyed the video!

Just stunning, what a watch!

I agree it’s very cool with the combo upscale casual!

Reverso burgundy tribute small second one of the most beautiful watches 2019

I have the grande reverso duo which is very similar to this one. My favorite watch, and funny how the watch enthusiasts respect this watch regardless of what’s on their wrist.

now you are in Scotland you should do "watches and whisky" JLC Reverso is a such clever design

For the first time found that the Reverso looks so ravishing with casual wear.
