JLC 2011 Post SIHH Collector’s Dinner  0 Comments

Published Wednesday, April 20, 2011 by Harry SK Tan |

 

On 17th April, JLC hosted a dinner at Burkhill Hall at the Singapore Botanical Gardens. An early colonial black and white building. While it was intended to be a dinner for collectors to view the 2011 Novelties, coincidentally it was the 80th Anniversary of the Reverso. While there were many attractive new models for 2011, none was more appealing than the reissue of the original ultrathin Reverso in steel or gold. Seen here on the wrist of a collector. Two models – both very thin on the wrist in black dial with baton marker or the more familiar silver dial with arabic numbers and blued hands.


In a sea of watches with complications, these two watches brings back the simplicity of yesteryear and has a charm of its own. In keeping with the current trend for brands with history to bring back iconic watches, the ultrathin reverso deserves to be in any serious collector’s watch box.
