Design & Taste

Indeed, the JLC has changed a lot in the past decades. I personally much prefer the JLC's older designs, such as this tourbillon, the Reverso minute repeater, the old 37mm master control, etc., etc.. The design styles were very classical and attractive in my eyes.
Just check out the "similar" Reverso Tourbillon in platinum launched in 2003…although cased in more precious metal and with an arguably better finished movement, the 2003 one lacks a lot charm and character. In the world of luxury, taste prioritizes the material, technics and even craftsmanship.
You are rally lucky to own a few truly classical pieces such as this one or the 5125. Just amazing!
