Flip it over, for once for the right reason
By Marco Bellini, Zurich ยท
The Reverso case was made so polo players could turn the crystal against the wrist. On this one, turning it over shows you the multi-axis tourbillon from the other side, and I appreciate the joke.
Caliber 179, hand-wound, platinum. The gyrotourbillon is a cage within a cage, rotating on two axes at different speeds, squeezed into a rectangular case where there is barely any room for it, which explains the 45.5 mm length and the 13.6 mm height. Jaeger-LeCoultre can build this kind of thing better than almost anyone. The finishing is dense and fine.
38 hours. Che peccato. Take it off Saturday morning and it has stopped by Sunday evening, on a watch costing 380,000 to 420,000 USD. That's my main criticism, and it's a big one.
30 m, and with a sliding case you should keep it far from water anyway. For the JLC collector with everything else. For everyone else, a plain Reverso Tribute and a lot of money left over.
