Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor
So here is my Series 1 Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor chronograph ref 146.8.25. This watch had been on my hit list for some time before I was able to acquire a good condition variant.

If there is a watch that can make one feel like an early 20th Century dandy, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultrathin Duoface delivers this in spades, and then some.

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds
The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds is gorgeous. I love this watch deeply and can’t imagine not owning one. I forgive its flaws because it is just so incredibly beautiful.

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Ultra Thin Reverso Tribute To 1948
I’m not a huge fan of re-editions, homages and tribute watches because I feel the watch industry should be looking forward with “nods” to the past not exact copies.
