Today has been an incredible day of seeing the best of what is new at SIHH 2016. One watch that sticks in my mind is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Tribute Duo Face. As you may know this year is the 85th anniversary of the Reverso watch and Jaeger is pushing it in a big way. They have re-vamped many different versions of the classic design and are working with new partners (including Christian Louboutin, but more on that later) to create innovative, elegant and fresh designs, and for me that is this watch.
The Tribute line is part of the, you guessed it, tribute to the 85th anniversary of the Reverso. This particular model, the Tribute Duo, is an elegant interpretation of the old classic. The stainless-steel rectangular wristwatch measures 42.8 mm by 25.5 mm. The time-only first dial is a granulated silvered dial, which has a rougher texture than your standard JLC Reverso, with bold applied blued steel indexes and hands. The flip side is a darker gray-blue dial with the time and day/night indication. The movement is a manual-winding caliber 854A/2 with a 45-hour power reserve.
The retail price on this is $12,000. More details to come. For more information on Jaeger-LeCoultre, please visit their website here.
