Short from EP. 9 - BEST Alternatives to YOUR favourite watches

Is the JLC Reverso Jaeger-Lecoultre’s best watch under 15000, or is it just a glorified fidget spinner? It's been a contentious watch for the About Effing Time crew.

It’s the beautiful design, great movement inside, provenant manufacturer and story behind it that makes it an icon. Being rectangular is definitely a factor in its iconic status.

If you want the definitive rectangular watch in the watchmaking industry it’s either this or a tank. The reverso is the watchmakers watchmaker, ask Max Busser. Otherwise the tank is the more iconic, ask Mohammed Ali

So then the fundamental offer of a regular round watch is … nothing ??

The Reverso has a flip function because its owners will never flip the watch

[TheBlindSkwerl]

The JLC Reverso is a pretty watch that let's watch nerds tell other watch nerds, "hold my beer".

[Toaster_luvin]

Reverso is the watch collectors watch. Iconic to enthusiast but invisible to outsiders

[stLeviathan]

It's It's awesome affordable watch from a great brand with great heritage, a great movement, and it's not crazy marked up after market

[jordanj]

It has so much more dimension than the other rectangular watches that he referred to

[overman]

The duoface reverso is two watches in one. More brands should do this.

I love how limited it is and not seen very often and I hope we stay a “little sect” that you two are not part of it, because once it becomes a Rolex I’ll have to give it away

[jacobliddiard]

I would buy it even without the reverso feature. I simply really like the dial.

[anaktuagede]

I think nowadays starts at 10k. It’s more expensive but it is luxury piece

[brendanwhipple]

Honestly the flip isn't even half of why I want it. In fact until recent years I never cared much for it. As I became more engrossed in my little hobby though I gradually came to just love JLC and their work. And the Reverso, especially the higher tier ones, are just an excellent example of their craft.

Get the Reverso Duo, while the one with a steel caseback is true to original, to me the main selling point these days is the dual dial.

[stuartbrand]

To flip or not to flip, that is the question.

[penepatitenor]

The reverso skeleton is an amazing watch that I would definitely buy

[jethrojacinto]

That one dude calling it a fidget spinner is everything i hate about watch content creators.

[dennis]

What’s the watch you are wearing with the blue strap please?

[ryanmurphy]

You could say the same thing about the bezel on a dive watch, or the pushers on a chronograph

[maxine]

You might not play polo when you wear it but you can flip it. What’s the alternative use of a divers or explorer? That’s why it rules

He should check the Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185
