Lot Essay
The JLC Reverso was first produced in the 1930s for polo players. They were in need of a watch that was elegant and robust so it could be worn during a polo match. The watch was designed so that it can be flipped over to its covered side for protection. Over the years, many variations have been produced. This particular model has an 8-day power reserve, two dials (one white, one black), a day/night indication, GMT with pushers for easy time setting, and date.
