My favorite release of Watches & Wonders 2023. I rushed over to the JLC boutique to put my name down and 7 months later I got the call. They said I'm 1 of 2 to receive it this year and they have over 300 pre-orders (that boutique alone). This is a grail level piece for me and I feel very lucky to be an owner of a very special JLC. This watch already looks insane in photos, it's even better in real life.

eh... to each their own. but a rectangular watch looks really bad too big on the wrist. and all the class and elegance of the reverso is ruined by how busy and meh that watch looks.

it's bullshit stacked up to look important. screams new money. which is the antithesis of the reverso.

Interesting perspective and I don't disagree with you. I feel they are trying to attract new/younger buyers which in this case I think they've succeeded. At the end of the day, they are a business trying to stay relevant.
