The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. I don't want to talk about polo or how watchmaking worked in the 1800's (as much as we could talk about JLC's big role in those fields). I want to talk about the Reverso and if JLC is becoming a one trick pony relying too heavily on this one model. Would you buy a JLC other than the Reverso? Do you have a JLC other than the reverso?
So for me, I don't think they are a one trick pony - I think they fantastic breadth & watches I'd want to purchase beyond this one specific model. But I admit, my JLC experience is an odd one.

@WhatIsItReallyAbout Жыл бұрын

Owning a Reverso, I don't think they are sport watches any more. They might have been once, but the specification of modern sport watches (shock and water resistance) has overtaken them by a long way. I would call the Reverso a dress / casual watch - equally at home under the sleeve of a suit or with jeans and a t-shirt. I paired mine with a black stingray watch strap and I love it. Very versatile and fun.

I have the medium duoface and wear it with shorts and t shirt, boots, jeans and polos or whatever I fancy. The quick release straps mean it’s easy to change it up- the difference between a brown leather, blue suede and black gator is like having 3 different watches… or 6 different watches 😂

@acknasty 8 ай бұрын

I think that is a brilliant distinction. It is no longer a sport watch. However it can perform dress and casual duties. Especially with a strap change. It looks very laid back on suede/nubuck straps.

I just love Reverso. Everything it stands for, and everyone who wore it on screen (Batman, for example). My wife gave me the duoface two years ago for celebrating our 20th anniversary, so it is even more special. As a watch lover, it is like a dream to have two watches at any moment without having them on both hands (which would eventually draw too much unnecessary attention - yes, I already tried it. :))

@supercrunchy Жыл бұрын

I didn't realize the increased price until I read comments here. I checked their web sites, and totally surprised to see the amount they increased. This may be the biggest price increase in any brand in history? How do they justify this? JLC has so much potential to be watch-lover's favourite brands. Or "had"? With one or two decent sports steel models, they really could be. They have skills, brand, design, and heritage.

@Omar-zd5dq 8 ай бұрын

“Fidget spinner for rich people” is a hilarious take on it. I have one and frequently call it an adult fidget spinner. Also, watches being the intersection of art, fashion, history, and engineering is a great way to think about it. Great observation.

I love my reverso tribute duo. The dual time gives me a reason to wear it when I travel or when I’m wearing it all day and night and want to mix it up. That being said, I’ve always wanted a monoface to inscribe something memorable and outlandish just for me.

@WilliamG916 Жыл бұрын

Dear Britt, First it seems to me that you have begun to recover very nicely from your accident. As to JLC, I fully agree with you about the house. Its catalogue continues several lines of watches with lots of variety and the highest possible quality of execution. I, too, have a bit of a bias as I have the good fortune to have an inherited Memovox, and would have said that the Memovox is JLC's flagship...Please keep the fine videos coming and keep on making progress in your recovery.

I recently picked up the new black dial reverso just a month or two after getting a Cartier tank and they definitely compete for waist time.

Fantastic video Britt! Love it! The JLC Reverso is a dream watch for me, it's fantastic! That being said I've limited myself to a specific budget and the Reverso is outside of that. As far as the watch being a one trick pony, I don't think that's true at all. It was designed for a purpose, and that purpose isn't really a thing anymore so it has become a fun parlor trick instead of being necessary to survive the polo field. So to me the Reverso is a fun callback to a bygone age, perhaps a more elegant age. And that feeling is why I love watches!

I just sold my Duoface last week after 2 years of ownership. I ADORE the watch, but I just never wore it so I couldn’t justify keeping it. I do think it’s much more dressy than sporty however, which is why I sold it. Were it sportier (more water resistance for example) I would have felt more comfortable wearing this as my daily. If they ever come out with a more robust version with an improved power reserve I will buy one again for sure. Honestly, a reverso with 100m of water resistance and some sort of date function would be end game for me.

Great that you got to spend some time with a Reverso, easily my favourite watch in my collection. I think that steel one is quite sporty but the 18k gold Classique (the one I have) is not sporty. mine is also older (1998) with a smaller crown so it could never be seen as anything other than a dress watch. As to whether they are a one-trick-pony, I don't think so - after all they discontinued the Reverso for a good few years. the memovox is pretty iconic also as is the master control line. You will have to come to Dublin to try my version! We have a JLC boutique now too!

The Master Control line is also pretty awesome. Both the Master Control Calendar and Memovox are sweet. It's just that silvered grey dials aren't that great.

The models with blue sunray brushed dials or golden cases are more to my liking with the latter being dreadfully expensive.

I didn't really like the JLC Reverso (or any square watch for that matter), but I really respect that it had a reason behind it. Back in the day watch companies looked around and just made watches to fit some weird profession/hobby; drivers had that VC, polo players had the reverso, submariners had the, uh, submariner. Nowadays, watch companies just look at their collection and say "lets just do all of this the exact same, but slightly different." I would love to return to the time where watch companies make weird watches for specific professions.

With all thst said, this is hobby makes us irrational - and I love it!

I even suspect that the cal. 822 is immune to extreme mountain tours and even rugby. So the Mono Face can definitely be used as a sports watch. Only our head doesn't play along.

Ahhh I love it! You know, there are some watches that you just love to own. This is like me and my BB58. My BB58 sadly doens't get much wrist time anymore. :( But I just love the BB58 so much, I just can't see myself selling it on

There price increase is outrageous. I paid $6900 for a reverso classic last November that is now close to $11000 , and even higher in Europe . I was also told yesterday at one of their boutiques that the brand is planning on going out of ADs to become boutique and online only .,,

I don’t necessarily think the price increases are completely unjustified, considering how much other lesser/similar brands have increased their Watch prices. I do think JLC were slow though and for a long time they were underpriced in my opinion.

JLC is at the risk of becoming a one trick pony, one that raises prices at ridiculously paces.

@oysterman962 Жыл бұрын

Wrong. JLC have many complications, designs and innovations. The only pony is the one's that have blinkers on their eyes not to see what's available in their extensive catalog.

Correct, they’ve raised prices way too high without even a major hype model

Lovely watch. But JLC made it very unattractive price wise. SO my choice will be the Cartier Tank next year.

That flipping sound is unique to Reverso, so addictive fidget spinner. But it must be a duoface or I'm craving the new Reverso Chrono now.

They are leaving so many possibilities on the table by almost ignoring the Polaris range. For me, my personal grail is the Master geographic...but that new chrono reverso is quite a temptress!

@BrittPearceWatches Жыл бұрын

RIGHT?! I couldn't agree more! I know JLC is all about dress watches and higher horology; but I think it's important every brand has one, good sports line. Most people buy sports watches! The Polaris needs more love!

It’s vital for a man to stay away from large reversos at all costs. They look so awkward. This watch is a really classic size. Personally I like the medium.
