The Reverso is one of THE classics

and probably the defining model for JLC for a reason. I mean, there is just not a single flaw or afterthought in the design of this watch, it is just perfect even in the smallest (but closest to the original dimensions) and most simple variation: OK, mayb...

What was once considered sporty is now an elegant dress watch... Does that mean that our sports watches today must be really inelegant? Are we just getting sportier and less elegant?

. . . I cannot live without a seconds hand unless a quartz movement. It's a childhood thing ever since my first watch aged 7 (a Newmark) with only two hands and with very loud tick. It died in the shared bath at boarding school! HAGWE! Clive ...

Some time ago I also NEEDED a seconds hand on the watch but nowadays i prefer just 2 hands on watches like the Tank for example and I can live without one on a Reverso, but it wouldn't hurt to have one.
