Lovely Reverso! Is that the Tribute to 1931? Great pics of the watch too :P

It's not the 'tribute' although it's closer to the original 30's Reverso's than the tribute model (apart from the dial of course). It's the Classique and the same size as the original Reverso's at 38mm x 23mm and sports the 846 calibre which is the direct descendant of the early Jaeger movements.

Some absolute beauties on this thread. I have a few but this is my favourite elegant, simple and robust 3Omm movement in the guise of a 283 Calibre ajusted to chronometer standrards although not certified
with all the 'bits'
in one of these
Cheers

You are right.Originally Posted by pashmolean
Don't know what I was thinking.
I'll excuse myself this one as it is between two handwinders....
But that other Geneve auto. :roll:
My excuse is that I couldn't see the detail on the thumbnails and TBH I don't know what I have here.
It all gets a bit confusing. :lol:
Cheers,
Neil.
While I have the pics out here are some pocket watches.
No auto's here. :lol:
and one I discovered recently in the cupboard.. :wink:
Cheers,
Neil.
I forgot the Manual wind Speedy's.... :wink:
Cheers,
Neil.

The only two that I wear nowadays.
Got a Speedmaster Professional - not much point in putting up a picture of that as they seem pretty common around here these days!
Also have this:
I'm 31 now and this was given to me by grandad when I was born then obviously kept by my parents until I was old enough to take care of it responsibly. After a search to find the right person to service it, I finally found Duncan @ Genesis Watchmaking and now for the first time I've owned it, it now actually runs.. and actually keeps staggeringly good time considering it's around 100 years old. Duncan thinks that actually the lack of servicing in the past (and subsequently the lack of times it's been opened and messed with) is what accounts for this. Needless to say it's the one watch in my collection that I will never, ever sell (not that it's worth much anyway!) and one that I won't get to wear very often as I don't have many waistcoats in my collection.. however the day I have an occasion to wear one, this WILL be coming out for an airing! :)
