Imitation Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Reverso Tribute Monoface Original Order: A Detailed Look at This Affordable Luxury.

Okay, so I’ve been on this kick lately, right? Trying to find a decent copy of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, but not just any Reverso. I’m talking about the classic, simple one with the solid metal back. You know, the one that just screams “understated elegance.”

I spent hours, days even, scouring the internet, looking at all these different versions. Then, boom! JLC drops the Reverso Tribute Monoface. And get this, it’s a new size that’s actually pretty close to the original one from back in the day. They’re calling it steel, which, you know, is a good material to use.

I dug a little deeper. This thing’s got the Caliber 822 movement inside, which is hand-wound. No battery needed here! Apparently, that’s what they usually use in the Reversos that don’t have the double face thing going on. I read somewhere that it’s supposed to be really thin, which makes sense for a watch like this.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. They’ve also got some cheaper options, like some women’s versions with quartz movements. And there’s this other one, the Reverso Classic, that’s also hand-wound and a bit cheaper than the Tribute. But honestly, I’m kinda set on the Tribute now.

• They just released the Reverso Tribute Monoface and also a Duoface with Small Seconds.
• The Monoface has that 846 caliber movement, gives you like 38 hours of power, and you can get it a little wet, but don’t go swimming with it. 30 meters resistance.

I was thinking about all the different versions of the Reverso out there. They change up the metals, add some bling, mess with the dials. I guess JLC has a ton of other watches, some with crazy complicated movements and fancy finishes. When I considered that they made less units, it made sense that the price goes higher.

Then I stumbled upon something about the Geophysic. Turns out, it was only made for a year before they switched it out for an automatic one called the Geomatic. So, the original Geophysic is super rare, like, less than a thousand ever made! That’s some serious collector’s item stuff right there. This original one is probably the rarest 20th century watch.

So yeah, that’s my little adventure with the JLC Reverso. I think I’m gonna try to get my hands on the Tribute Monoface. It just feels right, you know? Classic, simple, and with a cool story behind it.
