EDITORS CHOICE...JAEGER-LECOULTRE REVERSO TRIBUTE 1931: With many brands celebrating somewhat tenuous anniversaries, it is nice to note one of abiding merit: the 80th birthday of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. This legend has been the great houses signature model since its 1990s revival, so it is familiar to watch lovers, but the company has turned to the very first model for inspiration for the anniversary edition. Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the real top-league Swiss watch manufacturers, sitting nicely alongside the likes of Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Piaget, and this beautifully discreet anniversary version of the Reverso proves why. It is so finely pitched that, like the original 1930s models, it can be easily worn by a man or a woman. In doing away with the need to make a bigger, beefier model to suit so-called modern tastes, the Tribute 1931, while displaying slightly larger dimensions than its classic parent, smartly adheres to the current vogue for ultra-thin pieces. It is absolutely contemporary, while the dial is a perfect replica of the original and remains, well, timeless.
