The only watch that I will keep and will never let go from my collection.

Dare I add: Patek Philippe quality for Rolex money.

Finally someone who can pronounce JLC! Kudos my friend.

My first proper timepiece was a Reverso. Years later I still smile everytime I put it on.

I love this watch. The simpler the dial the better for me. Thanks for covering this model 👍

Love this video (just like all your stuff). The point you made about how in essence you can get the lower end of the range and not feel like you are getting shorted is a really astute one. It's amazing how they have evolved the same shell into so many different offerings and price points for such an extended period of time. For me, the Classic Medium Duoface Small Seconds on the brown leather strap...That's an incredible timeless blend of dress, sport, and functionality.

Forgot how good this review and essay was and had to come back for a refresher. Well done and great watch journalism.

Outstanding video ID Guy! The Reverso is a timeless classic and one of my favorite watches. One will definitely be in my collection one day.

Terrific video! The JLC Reverso is a watch that any watch enthusiast would enjoy.

I’m going home and switching watches! Mine has been tucked away for years and you just reminded me why I purchased it and have always loved it so. Thank you. Batman wore it too! 😂💚💚

I have loved this watch style for so many years. Love this video.

Brilliant review: passionate, informed, comprehensive and insightful.

One of the most iconic and classiest watch references of all time.

One of if not the best report of the Reverso I have ever heard. History, build and design all well detailed and distilled to a pure conversation. Exceptional!

The most beautiful watch on the market.

I’m so happy you did this video. The one you needed to do! And you did it justice.

You and Bark and Jack dropped vids at the exact same time. Choices to be made....

It took me quite a few decades of lusting after the Reverso to finally find a model that fit my 7-9/16" wrist, and even larger hands. I finally did with the right fit with the Reverso Grand 976, which is sadly now discontinued. This Reverso is a pseudo sports/dress watch not only because of its history, but in this model due to its quite rugged movement. The 976 hand wound movement is based on the JLC 975 "Autotractor" sports movement [an automatic] and has a free sprung balance, full balance bridge and double laser welded hairspring, plus a 48 hour power reserve. Additionally, it has a quick hour set complication making it a great travel watch... A very practical watch. The added bonus is the display case back showcasing the wonderful movement.

I love this watch and this video so much! I share it with my friends multiple times a day!

The Reverso is an amazing looking watch, I would love to own one & this video does it justice. Great 👍 Thank you

When I pass my JLC dealer, it’s the Reverso I look at first. Usually the Tribute to 1931 if there is one in the window. It is such a perfect little package. As you say, the watches case and lugs blend into the strap almost seamlessly giving the rectangular form a subtlety yet a noticeable presence on the wrist. The blued hands against the white dial of the classic Reverso looks so classy and amazingly legible. The Duofaces are just a treat and as for the Tourbillons, well, they truly are wonders. It really is an enthusiasts watch. One I would love to own in the future. Yet again, you’ve managed to score a try for the Boks with this brilliant video. Great work my friend. ✊

Given a choice between a Cartier Tank, or a JLC Reverso, the Reverso wins every time. The ONLY aspect of the Tank that I personally think has the edge of the JLC is the design of the crown, I do like that little blue cabochon spinel on the Tank does look great! In ALL other aspects the Reverso is a superior product. (Just my personal view).

Brilliant video, everything about it is captivating. Your narration is amazing. Now, I have to decide which reverso to hunt!

A comprehensive treatise on an icon.

Excellent video. Two minor corrections: it is simple, not simplistic, which means something slightly different. And penultimate does not mean last or highest, but next to last, or next to the highest. Otherwise, carry on.

I got my last week from Vegas and I totally in love with this.

Outstanding! Both watch and your commentary. There is something very mesmerizing about the Reverso, and likely the most verstatile watch you can get. Kudos to JLC in my humble opinion, for keeping so many of the models with stainless steel cases. It not only makes the watch extremely great value, but enhances the robust quality of the watch. I could go on and on with my comments, but you have said everything far more beautifully than I ever could. Thank you. Cheers, Carl

As an owner of a Reverso, a Duoface in steel for that matter, the video covered details of the design, fine points, that I didn‘t notice at all. Great video on an excellent topic.

BRAVO ID Guy...!! Another excellent video..you again knocked it out of the park !!🏏

Underrated watch maker, underrated channel. Love the content! Keep it up 👍

A truly great tribute to a great watch, and if you have ever held one and reversed it the actual feel is Rolls Royce like....if you have a sports watch, you yearn a chronograph, then you up the ante to a complication...and JLC being the Watchmakers Watchmaker certainly offer that in the Reverso. Great stuff as always and the depth of the anaysis was spot on! Thank you.

Thank you for providing the history and the understanding of the Reverso. AF

"It keeps the deco motifs on the down-low" Bravo

The Reverso is the Dogs testicles, and a large dog at that, easily a St bernard or Great Dane. One of the most beautiful manual timepieces ever designed, and the Duoface is stunningly beautiful.

IDGuy your reviews and commentaries are very professional and full of details. 👍

Fantastic video of a legendary timepiece!

I have the Night & Day in the traditional size and absolutely cherish it. I am in the process of downsizing my collection now, but will never sell this watch. JLC and Nomos are my two favorite watch brands.

Thank you for such an informative video. Your prose is poetic!

Your best review to date! Thanks!

Another masterpiece video. I prefer watching your videos to watching the news. That’s a big admission.

Very well done Sir. Relatively new here and very impressed. Personally I love the Reverso and had an opportunity to handle a Duo Face at a Christmas Eve party recently. It fulfilled every expectation. Cheers

I thought i'd found all the decent watch channels and then i stumbled across this reverso video. I really liked the cadence of the video, your relaxing voice and of course you highlighted my favourite JLC. You didn't mention the golden ratio at all though which i feel is was a mistake as the golden ratio speaks to the enduring, natural appeal and the flawless aesthetic. i had to watch it twice just to see the enamelled piece uniques .Fantastic video. Thank you.

Beautiful crafted and elegant....Just like your videos. Keep up the good work, great content 😊.

Beautiful watch. Thanks for the great information. Some of those art watches are truly... well, art. Altogether a reminder to human beings to ‘stay classy’.

Outstanding information & presentation!.

Dankie!! I just purchased a Reverso dual face, small seconds. such a beautiful piece!

Can’t go wrong with a Reverso! Great review!

Thank you. Your discussion about the watch as art and how a regular person cannot afford to own originals but can appreciate the art. I especially liked your line, "Like art, we can admire just how this watch in my eyes, is the epitome of spare but also masterful execution.". This insight is very powerful to me at this time as I am entering my 2nd year of obsessing about watches.

Enjoyed this thoughtful presentation very much, thanks. A gold reverse is a grail watch for me.

Simply marvellous.

Not just a watch enthusiast's watch but a watch makers watch.

Sir do you sleep much! Another excellent video in a such short time period! JLC I feel is like the watch connoisseur's brand as much as they were the watchmaker's watchmaker. My favourite brand is Cartier, but JLC comes close second. They're almost antithesis to each other in terms of how they approach watch making IMO, but that's what makes them so appealing to me. The Reverso is definitely on my grail list, though their other watches catch my interest so often too (their limited edition Polaris had me in fever for weeks recently). Though there is one point I would like to make; I'm not sure exactly what causes it but sometimes when I see one worn, they don't always look right. I think it mostly comes down to the wearer wearing too large of a watch but they look a lot less elegant sometimes. Perhaps it is the lugs, they elongate the watch a lot more than they look, or the rounded edges that make the watch look a lot larger than they are. Maybe it's the proportion of the rectangle, or perhaps the thickness. I'm not sure, the Tank and its many iterations never looked too jarring if they are worn oversized but the Reverso seems to stand out extremely if you get the proportions wrong.

Great video! Wonderful watches....and I like the lines of their Master Control more than most holy trinity round, dress, similar. Thanks!

They talk about the holy trinity of watchmaking, Patek, AP,Vacharon, but it is the holy quartet. Have to include JLC.

What a fantastic video! Absolutely love your work - it's lekker broë!

Great Video and I fully agree that it’s a icon. ...it’s on my list...

Nice presentation!

I'll admit, I've never seen the appeal of the JLC Reverso. I still don't after watching this video, but I understand it slightly more. Great video!

Fantastic video. Love my JLC.

Ooh, how much I enjoyed this vid!

Beautiful video

What a classy elegant watch , a real beauty .

Ohhh, a few years ago? was it even 2018, the 100 ys de Stijl movement?, there was one with an emaille mondrian on the back. i am pretty sure i'd kill for that... thanks for another concise, instructive and, as always, educating vid. have fun times.

This is a billionare/CEO kind of watch. Elegant is what it is.

JLC is very underrated ❤

JLC an awesome brand. Nice video mate

One of my main grails... they're beautifil

best reverso video so far.

I tried the moonphase calendar at the waterfront. Verh nice watch!

See you remembered my request from a few weeks back :-D you’re a gentleman and a scholar. You’ve knocked it out of the park again, bud. Now about those straps he he. Thanks!

One word ...Class

Love the reverso 😍😍😍

I wanted the master control sector dial initially, but ended up getting the reverso duoface small seconds large. No regrets

Excellent video as always!! My vote 🗳 goes to the Reverso but I’ve always been more of a Santos (and Cloche) guy when it comes to Cartier 👍🏻

Excellent

I tried the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds at our local JLC AD earlier today. I'm shopping for a birthday watch, and I thought I was 99% decided on a specific Grand Seiko (I'm a fan). I must say that the Reverso changed my mind - once it was on my wrist, all my negative self-talk about 'a small watch' and a 'rectangle watch' disappeared. I'm relatively new to this hobby and trying on the Reverso... I felt the weight of all the history and design pedigree all at once. Watches truly evoke emotions - and this piece certainly did that for me. Now, to save a little bit more...

This has to be the best video that I’ve ever seen on the Reverso. Is there a book that is considered the best reference on the JLC Reverso? Thanks.

I've always like them, but now I gotta have one!! I predict a spike in sales from the IDGuy Effect!

Interesting to see that in the original technical drawings the watch is square instead of rectangular. I wish JLC could bring back the failed Reverso Squadra in a slightly smaller size (amd with a more thoughtfully designedsteel bracelet). I liked that watch a lot - in fact, way more than the recatangular version - but it was just ridiculously large as JLC decided to follow the big watch trend of the 2000s.

Excellent video as always, this is one of my favorites. I didn't fully appreciate it until I got older, now it's a grail of mine.

I’m thinking of a jlc classic medium duoface small sec as my final timepiece. Or should it be the ‘R’?

Bravo!!

Fun Fact: Christopher Nolan wears one, so did Christian Bale and Val Kilmer's - Bruce Wayne.

I love my golden nugget Riverso Grand Taille, sweet buttery manual movement that keeps precise time. JLC is haute horology for a mere price of a Rolex with the craftsmanship of Patek Philippe. JLC are simply master watch makers the holly trinity can testify to JLC movement.

It's so beautiful

I am about to pull the trigger on one of those but I really can't decide between the tribute to 1931 (black) and the tribute small seconds all blue. Any thoughts?

These are uniquely attractive to me who appreciates a more traditional watch like a Railmaster

I’d like JLC to. 1. Make every Reverso dual-dialed. 2. It would present its challenges, but wouldn’t it be cool if they could make it an automatic?!? Never tell a watch maker that it can’t be done! 3. Offer 20+ dial colors, styles, dial printing and hardware options. 4. Allow the customer to choose which dials the watch reverses to as well as the strap and stitching. Make mine the rouge dial, blued steel dial hardware and printing reversing to a blue dial, red-fired bronze dial hardware and matching burgundy dial printing with a navy gator strap with burgundy stitching that matches each dial. Or perhaps a salmon dial, blued steel dial hardware and printing reversing to a forest green dial. Offering lots of options like that would make each customer feel like they’re getting something bespoke!

I wish someone would make a watch that could flip between a slide rule bezel for calculations and a more simple diver configuration. With a manageable size, that would be my ultimate grail piece.

JLC indeed is a watch of the connaisseur but not so the Reverso imo because it is a style piece known by many. Wearing a Master Control on the other hand, that is a statement!

SUBBED that was amazing! Im so bored of these "watch experts" desperate for attention pretending to know anything more than a 5 min google gives you

Greetings!! Would like to know if you would go for Medium or Large for the Reverso Classic Duoface smallseconds. I have a 6.6inch wrist, both medium and large sits well but i just cant decide

CLASS.

0:31 what model is this?

Love em

I love it

Oh my, Sir, you are in my head!! Have been waiting for this for a lonnng time. Been struggling to choose Duoface and GMT and still no answer

If it were a piece of clothing, it would be a little black dress. If it were a car, it would be an E34 M5. If it were a person, it would be Fred Astaire. If it were a superhero, it would be the Batman. If it were a drink, it would be Scotch on the rocks.

1:10 what is the ref no of this one? looks magnifique!
