stipula da vinci infinity with 50's bulova


aurora 88 with jlc reverso


omas arco paragon with reverso


visconti titanic with reverso

Those are very nice pens and good pictures, too. Could you explain the reverso watch, please? I don't understand what I'm seeing.

Bill

hey bill,

the reverso has been made by jaeger le coultre since the 30's (longest continuous production watch). originally developed as a sporty watch for polo players in india, iirc, who complained that their crystals keep on shattering. the watch is designed to flip over, thus protecting the face. this makes for a nice canvas for engraving - mine has my initials, but others engrave their coat of arms (yeah right, i have a coat of arms), portraits, etc. also can allow for a skeleton view of the movement, or for a second watch face on certain models.

classic art deco design, and goes well, i think, with the omas, visconti, and aurora, which also look art decoey.

Ooooh, such nice pens (and watches)....
You have exquisite taste, Dave
