It’s the beautiful design, great movement inside, provenant manufacturer and story behind it that makes it an icon. Being rectangular is definitely a factor in its iconic status. If you want the definitive rectangular watch in the watchmaking industry it’s either this or a tank. The reverso is the watchmakers watchmaker, ask Max Busser. Otherwise the tank is the more iconic, ask Mohammed Ali

The Reverso has a flip function because its owners will never flip the watch

To Rolex buyer: get a gold bracelet. accomplishes the same thing.

Reverso is the watch collectors watch. Iconic to enthusiast but invisible to outsiders

The JLC Reverso is a pretty watch that let's watch nerds tell other watch nerds, "hold my beer".

It's It's awesome affordable watch from a great brand with great heritage,a great movement,and it's not crazy marked up after market

It has so much more dimension than the other rectangular watches that he referred to

The duoface reverso is two watches in one. More brands should do this.

Damn. Just told everyone Santa isn’t real.

To flip or not to flip, that is the question.

Of course it is a fidget spinner and that’s why OCD people like me love the watch.

I fell in love with it when I first saw it

Get the Reverso Duo, while the one with a steel caseback is true to original, to me the main selling point these days is the dual dial.

The one with both dials is worth it

Just got mine a few hours ago and I have flipped it close to one hundred times.

I actually prefer the Monoface, because of its history and it's really cool when it's a gift and has a message engraved on the case back 😌

He should check the Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185

If the Reverso is a $15,000 dollar fidget spinner then so is any watch with a rotating bezel. Many people enjoy tactile feedback from their watch

The reverso skeleton is an amazing watch that I would definitely buy

You might not play polo when you wear it but you can flip it. What’s the alternative use of a divers or explorer? That’s why it rules

I think it's ridiculous to expect people to come up with alternatives to the Reverso that have the same functionality. You could probably count the number of watches that allow the dial to flip on one hand, and even then you'd have to get extremely obscure in order to even do that. If you want the flip ability, then get the Reverso. There is no alternative. If you just like the design, then there are plenty of rectangular watches out there that would be suitable. If you want the flip ability but not the Reverso, then Adrian is right.

The JLC is really nice very classic ! I’m don’t with Rolex n AP they are classics but it’s so played n stale now ! I’m 40 I had Rolex’s since I was 18 date just… subs … presidentially start owning differ brands now I’m over Rolex and the antics

Honestly the flip isn't even half of why I want it. In fact until recent years I never cared much for it. As I became more engrossed in my little hobby though I gradually came to just love JLC and their work. And the Reverso, especially the higher tier ones, are just an excellent example of their craft.

Really pretty watch

I was led to believe its function was to protect the crystal while playing polo, cricket or presumably aggressive croquet.

I bought a reverso duoface a year ago, sold it off within a month. Just didnt like it like I thought I would

That’s a fair quesstion

What’s the watch you are wearing with the blue strap please?

I only see rectangular watches at the cartier store. Not sure how he understands that rectangular become generic.

It was made for 1920 british officers who damaged their watches while playing POLO so they can turn it and protect it on the field.

Lol that's absolutely like far from why to purchase one. How about the top tier design, the fact that JLC can fit so many complications into a small watch ,or having a duoface where you can have pretty much two watches in one or 8 year warranty,1000 hours control tested. Or that one face can be more typical casual formal type then you turn it and it can be more unique like a skeleton chronograph. Come on bruh! Lol get a grip

Adrian, what???

100% Yes, as an owner of the Rosegold Tribute, it is one heck of a 15k figet-spinner! I finally grew up and traded the damn toy for an A Lange 1 with moonphase.

😮

Nope, you’re talking about dive watches 😜

Guys, calm down... it's just a watch. No need for sensation seeking. Gosh. Why all this drama ?

Why are some of the most expensive watches just ugly & way to cluttered , simple is more beautiful in my opinion, seiko marine master or Rolex sub is probably the most perfect, gold & diamonds on man’s watch just doesn’t do it for me , tacky

Reverso's suck.

As somebody who’s never seen your content, if the first video I see is you calling a reverso a fidget spinner, it will surely be the last video
