We are just lucky that the real gems don't have waiting list!
For now?
Except this one does, and goes over list price on the grey market?
I’m on the waitlist. I had to leave a $2000 deposit. Thankfully no markup.
6-9 months now
You gotta wait to be king ans wear that crown. King Charles waited for decades.
I am so honored to be the custodian of 2 of these masterpieces. I wear mine with a suit or jeans and a t-shirt. It works with anything you wear.
You play it close to the chest?
JLC is my all time favorite manufacturer. God, literally my whole collection could just be JLC and I wouldn’t want for anything. Incredible watches from a touch under $7000USD to made-to-order spectaculars.
A JLC-only collection could be quite complete.
Focusing only on one brand will always mean missing out on the varied wonders of the world, no matter how good that brand is
Missing a few sports style watches tbh
My favourite line “also. It’s fun to fidget with” hahaha! ITS SO TRUE! Why is it so awesome to have fun things to fidget with?! 😂🙈
The Duoface is an interesting take on a travel watch - it's worth checking that out!
Those are great
I have been having one for the last 17 years, never done a revision, running extremely well, a joy to look at every time. Not for everybody, that fits me well.
Last time I was this early, Hans Wilsdorf was a pearl export apprentice.
LMFAO
That’s the nerdiest joke on UA-cam and I love it.
So you're saying it has been awhile....
Your production quality is only surpassed by your humor. Love your channel.
I have a Reverso Classique Duoface and I just love it! I have had my fair share of watches over the years but none of them has given me as much joy as the Reverso. Actually I have gotten rid of almost all my watches except for this one and i didn’t regret it a single time!
This is legit one of the best produced watch videos I have ever seen. Keep up the good videos - your commentary along with the perfect watch shots is damn perfect!
Thanks so much
Every video you put out just seems to be increasing in quality. The humour always catches me off guard. Hello from Canada!
Thanks!
Your combination of humour, knowledge and personality is unmatched in the youtube world. Keep on rolling with the great content
Thanks so much
I'd add that the quality of your voice is easy to listen to.
Been struggling to decide on a watch as a wedding gift from my fiance. I narrowed it to the Explorer 1 and the Tribute small seconds in blue. I finally pulled the trigger on the JLC :)
JLC is the pinnacle of haute horology, JLC took the absolute biscuits with Reverso Hybris Mechanica, a level of haute horology that the holy trinity with struggle to attain. The Riverso featured is stupendously beautiful and I’m glad that you are not a Reverso person, that is how aficionados like it. I salute you for the content.
👍
The burgundy is absolutely mesmerizing, and your edits and shots complements the watch so well. Liked and subscribed!
Ima fan of the green.
Yeah, I could go either way on this revers... AW WHO AM I KIDDING?... I LOVE THIS WATCH SEVERELY!!!
I hope to acquire one sooner rather than later in my watch journey.
This red small second Reverso is gorgeous. Bit pricey, but with my initials nicely engraved on the case back, it would steal the dress watch slot from my Tangente in the watchbox.
Most certainly
If you think $7K is pricey, keep in mind that engraving initials will add $350/letter to the price
This video is so slickly produced, beautifully shot. Great opening shot demonstrating the Reverso mechanism - although I now want a smoke.
Very nice video, a pleasant to watch review. Loved this burgundy red one, I prefer this one better. It's a not a flashy red, it's more like the color of a good wine. Thanks, man.
I never thought I would like to own a reverso. Then I've seen the casa fagliano strap, felt in love and got one.
Gray strap, for sure.
Strap is designed by casa Fagliano. Made by Camille Fournet. This Reverso beats your tank by a mile .... For me...
(03:44) Something is most decidedly NOT rotten in the state of this UA-cam channel (and UA-camr)... or indeed the state of Denmark.
Great video.
Glad you caught the reference!
to be honest I own this watch and I own another reverso , I am so passionate about JLC Reverso it is my favorite watch for all times
That sound in the beginning! Great choice of music too!
6.75 inch wrist here and I ended up buying the large duo face. Love it. Now looking to get the smaller sword hand, red or green.
Great shots, best Reverso video anywhere so far.
A grail watch of mine for sure. Perfection.
Good taste
I dig the Art Deco design and am a sucker for railroad dials. Cool opportunity to customize with an engraving, too.
Very true
I love the Reverso, its a watch that has become an Icon for the watch geeks and for good reason, its unique. I wish they would just make it a 50m or 100 m water resistance, 30m is not enough imo.Great cinematography !
The esthetics of your videos is gorgeous, great job!
I'm obsessed with the Reverso. I'm glad that there isn't a hype around it, even though it was featured in Batman and Madmen. I absolutely love mine, and keep adding more to the collection. They're fantastic, especially if you can find a 1931 tribute. For me, JLC has done such a tremendous job at preserving this design language - it's just a watch I can never get bored of.
It’s a beauty, for sure. I could imagine that collecting Reversos would be a really fun niche.
@@YoureTerrific I love mine, it's my go-to watch for any event. I can wear it work, wear it at home, wear it on a walk, I think it all comes down to personal taste and lifestyle. I have several after-market straps for mine, and I'm often wearing my Reverso on different straps rather than wearing a different watch. Cheers! Great video.
My one and only dream time piece. It relate to me alot ! Because i was born where modern polo was born “ MANIPUR”
This is completely unhelpful; but when I was working at a ridiculously posh school, they had their own polo team, about half of the team wore reversos. I attended quite a few games and the reverso was probably the most common watch worn by the players, both because the history of it being *THE* polo watch, and the fact that it is actually a really good sports watch. If you're in an environment where you are going to be active, but also need a watch that can be very dressy, the reverso really is an amazing option.
I always wanted a Reverso, for years, but for some reason, it gets pushed back on the purchasing list. But I will get me one soon!! This red dial really caught my eyes too ... 👀
Great color
This video is simply beautiful. Well done.
Thanks
The only brand of timepiece that I collect. This burgundy dial is my favorite, second is the black extra thin moonphase. My Next goal to get is the blue Tribute duoface reverso.
I never got what it was about this watch until....I tried one on.
The green 💚 one I love it.
It looks really good on you! I just bought a Master Calendar Meteorite dial - I bought the woman a lady reverso ahead of her birthday next month as well. I think she'd have preferred a larger size but it's so cute.
👌
Nice choice. The Master Calendar Meteorite dial is legendary. One of my dream watches!
Heck of a video. Great video work and love the narration.
Thanks
This and Cartier Tank Americaine are my favorite square shape watch.
Great taste
Looks fantastic on your wrist.
I want one!!! Thanks for the great video!
the most classy dress watch.
Looked at this one and, the even nicer, imo, rose gold version in jlc boutique. Both stunning and would love either.
Only 191 made!
LOVE your videos and unique sense of humor!
My feelings toward the Reverso mirror your own. I think they are the most beautiful watch that just doesn't feel right for me.
Maybe one day. I do want a JLC badly, however.
Perhaps a Polaris?
Mate your terrific, not you’re, you are the nexus of all terrific.
Also that watch is pissing class
You have a way with words
It’s also one of the last watches (besides Rolex) that you can engrave.
Great video as always mate.
Loved the colonial jibes, and I'm British 😂
I adore the reverso, it's a toss up between that and the santos for an anniversary piece.
I particularly like your honesty, refreshing on UA-cam watch channels....
BTW, if you ever find one for less than 4 grand please let me know
Thanks. I went with a Santos for the bracelet and water resistance. It’s also cheaper. But I admit it probably doesn’t have the horological pedigree as the Reverso or anything from JLC.
@@YoureTerrific enjoyed your cartier videos, so my plan is to get the wife the santos and me the reverso.... Sneaky git 😂
Keep up the good work bud, best watch channel on here 👍
Thanks!
I love this watch! Great video ❤❤
Thanks so much
Art Deco still relevant in 2022!
I have the blue one and it’s just dream worthy
I absolutely LOVE Reversos but for some unexplained reason, I just can't KEEP them! I can't even begin to put it into words.
First of all, I am of the camp that if one has a Reverso, it should definitely have BOTH sides fully utilized. I cannot imagine buying one with the shiny, blank piece of real estate on the flip side unless I was most definitely going to plunk the coin down for some ornate carving of initials or my family crest. Except I don't have a family crest, AFAIK.
I had both the Reverso Gran'Sport chronograph and Grand Reverso Ultra Slim Duoface. Sold both of them after some time. The Gran'Sport I kind of wish I kept (truly sporty, integrated bracelet, very shiny, very unique) and though the 2 time zone Duoface was a cool function, the watch was kind of blah and boring in its retro styling.
Like I said, I cannot explain it. I like the IDEA of Reverso. I'm not against the styling. Maybe because I felt they were a little on the delicate side with a short power reserve? SMH.
I may yet end up getting another one in the future. But I hope not. But I LIKE them!
Absolutely gorgeous
Agreed
Wow I got my Tribute Blue Purple Black light Blue Dark Blue, two Tone etc a couple of days ago. I put it on and said WTF did I due. 24 hours later I said wow. 72 hours later I’m still wearing it and m falling hard for it. And a nearly 8” wrist it still works. The legibility is great, it’s quite a piece of man jewelry.
Hahaha that's a very accurate description of the dial color
Another stylish video. Love the Reverso but I've been spoiled by my Cartier Basculanté. The Reverso is by no means a thick watch but there is no comparison. Hopefully they sneak it into their Ultra Thin line
I’d love a Basculante
@@YoureTerrific Basculante - "tilting" in French - no accent on the final e, as I think you know😊👍
Jlc made basculante for cartier
I have the ultra thin tribute to 1931. That's around 7mm thick.
Oh Lord! I actually thought it went with the outfits rather well despite of it being a burgundy watch on a red strap.
Quite quirky and charming: not good news for my watch list 🙈
I think you’re right and I wish you weren’t!
Maybe a Q2458422 may make more sense.
Worth a extra $.
It has a sporty side.
You’re very easy to listen to. Nice watch. Nice review. Thanks
Thanks
Was 8k at a reasonable price, but they put a ridiculous price hike by 40%. Now this watch costs 10 to 11k. Need to buy it off the grey market
Beautiful reverso. However I do like a watch to have a date and seconds hand. And either be automatic or if manual then a power reserve indicator . When they do that I’m in.
I reckon some of the lads that play polo in London at the Hurlington club in Fulham would wear one.
4:20 Easy two steps to fix that 1. pick the blue reference 2. wear it reversed. Boom - now it's not so art deco and goes with jeans :)
You might be right
Ur content is so entertaining thank you.
Hey, thanks
hey, love your vids and your style especially your strap choice. Could you do kinda watch strap review thing video? Would be cool to get to know about other strap manufactures than the usual suspects. Thank you and again: your videos are great (and expensive for me... 🙄 looking at my grey side, but this is a whole other story 😄)
Thanks for the suggestion. Could happen.
Another great video my man and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love this piece , but you just got me to buy the Cartier Tank Must XL and that is my dress watch. Have a great day!
You did well.
This one's different baby I swear!
I think the watch is very beautiful. This specific Reverso is just too situational for me. The Reverso classic with a nice brown strap can 100% be pulled off as a casual wear. Just not for young boys. JLC is a company for watch lovers. So if you’re interested in buying one, I think you are already suited to own one :)
It is gorgeous.
It is
Couldn’t believe I’m the owner of a classic duoface yesterday. I have finally grown up.
Congrats
Great vid. Interesting watch. Not for me (right now) either. Although I love this colour-way.
the JLC reverso was a colonizer watch worn by British officers in India...And for some reason as a brown guy I want it
Excellent ! I think, I prefer my Cartier Tank Must XL if I had to choose between two rectangular cases
And you saved several thousand dollars.
Were I to dip my toes into the JLC waters, I'd totally cop the Reverso Classic Monoface, throw it on a non-leather strap, and rock it every day (rain or shine). It's got 30m of WR so it's able to face most things without much of an issue I'd assume. I feel like it'd be fine, especially if my 50-year-old daily can handle what I throw at it.
👍
Solid review as always! 👍
Thanks!
I agree with you wholeheartedly that watches are jewelry and somehow a reversed watch does not fill that role at all. Now if it had a movement window....
I really want to like this watch but there's something stopping this from happening. I think it's the lugs, the horizontal lines on the front of the case and the awkward way it appears to sit on the wrist. I also think I'd like it more if it did away with the Reverso mechanism and was a couple of millimeters thinner. However, with all those changes it wouldn't be a Reverso. BTW, the precise mechanical click of that Reverso locking mechanism is highly addictive. Great video.
Did you try one on?
@@Jungleman707 No, I'm afraid that I might buy one. Last time I was in watches of Switzerland I bought a Mater Control Ultra Thin Date and I love it. No watch manufacture make a watch like JLC at the price - you have to go to PP or VC to find something comparable. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't want a Reverso but I'm losing and the feeling won't go away. For all of the things I listed, which I genuinely feel, there's a very good chance that I'll own one before too long. I've even picked the model that I'm trying not to buy.
Last week, I bought an green OP41 and was thinking: What will be my next milestone...🤔
Didn't have a specific watch so far in my mind, just an idea of the brand:
NOMOS, Tudor or JLC - today I was looking many hours for photos of exact this Reverso.
Might be a sign...😄
Never been a fan of the Reverso, when I started collecting, but it grew to me over the time.
Even though it is a sportswatch, I would consider it to be my dresswatch of choice.🤵🏻
As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts and impressions about it Evan!☺
And for everyone, who wants to get some more Reverso content, WatchAdviser posted yesterday a video about the curent Reverso Exhibition in Paris:
ua-cam.com/video/b5odiQtnm1k/v-deo.html
There always has to be one Rolex guy who starts a random comment with " I bought a Rolex last week".
@@tapirdeaalex7104 look...
I have 5 watches in total, one of them is a Rolex and in case, I collect one brand, one watch, it will be the only one!
And if you read through my complete comment, you would have seen, that I'm into watches and not into flexing!
Any other issue?
Nice review, but the strap is not made by Casa Fagliano. It has their stamp because they licensed the design, but you will see a stamp on the strap that either says made in France, Switzerland, or Italy. Three different countries that manufacture the strap for this watch. None will say made in Argentina.
Great note. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks for the review of this water polo watch! Slap a rotating bezel on that rectangular puppy and you have a proper diver. Wish you'd shown it on some NATO straps though.
Rotating rectangular bezel
@@YoureTerrific I can see nothing going wrong with this idea. Let's go get funding!
You´ve found a style of narrating that in it´s own way is pretty close to being just as good as "giants" like Watchbox & Watchfinder. PS. They´re called the watchmaker of watchmakers because they´ve (however legendary their movements might be) supplied pretty much the whole top shelf including the holy trinity with movements for decades. But I´m sure you already knew that..
“Anticollanization”. WTF?!? Anyway, somewhat like you, when I first saw the Reverso, I was like “eh,” but it has since grown on me. I really, really dig it-especially some of the duo face and skeletonized versions. Way beyond my reach now, though. On another note, one can never have too much Art Deco, in my mind. What’s your take on the Ventura? That’s a design I’ve loved from the get go.
I almost spit out my coffee at 1:05
So the reverso was made to protect it while playing Polo. But while I is protected, you can’t read the time. So at that point why not just take your watch off. You won’t be able to read it anyway
if they make this watch more square. 36mm
I immediately bought 1
I’ve never liked the Reverso. I’d prefer a Tank or Santos. I do love the JLC MC ultra thin though.
I'd like your thoughts on the new 41mm pilot chronograph by IWC!
I get the duo face, but not a the reverso with a blank side for normal use.
kinda the opposite for me, i hate hate HATE art deco, and yet i love the reverso for some reason
This is absolutely perfect in blue but the price is high. It is more expensive than the new Sapphire speedy with basically no complication. Is it overpriced? No. But it is expensive
Great quality review! What camera/mic do you use ?
Doesn’t fit my lifestyle, at least not as I see it. That said, the Reverso, I’m always fascinated when the subject turns that direction. It’s the only tank cased watch that I feel that way about.
Anyone interested in horology, the history and nuances of watchmaking, JLC is one to read up on.
Is a TAG Heur 2000 good value for money under $400?
Art 🎨 🖼
Such a shame they did not include a sapphire case back
Gorgeous watch. Love the colorway.
Just don’t like the shape on my wrist. 🤷♂️
I love this watch so much, well the blue one that is. I really dig that all the guilloche and the pencil hands have been left behind on these tributes. They just look modern to me...as modern as a tribute to "white man's burden" could be anyway.... Happy Thanksgiving Evan!
Haha. Happy Thanksgiving, Michael!
You virtue signalling numpty
What's your wrist size? ( Kidding! - I watch a lot of your videos). Real question: Do you think the color affects your thoughts on the size on this watch? Might you look toward the smaller 42mm-ish size with a white-faced small seconds mono but are ok w/ larger in the tribute? I'm interested in the green but haven't seen it yet.
It’s really hard to say without trying one on.
@@YoureTerrific I was asking because I know that you'd chosen the smaller santos, for instance, and wondered if the dial color might be part of it. And, I actually bought my luminor after one of your videos, since our wrists are the same size-ish and I've been delighted, so I know your "wrist guidance" works for me.
JLC should include a rotating bezel in this model.
Ha
I like this model but I'm not a fan of it's size, I feel the Reverso looks best when it's a bit smaller and thinner. I have a "Reverso medium thin" and
the size is perfect.
Good one
