The Reverso duo was my JLC of choice. The IWC Mark 11 was a terrific watch. I never got to pick one up. I once had a Rolex 6694. Boy was that a PITA. The screw down crown made it a chore to wind it daily.

I could go on forever about watches.

Peace

I have also a Reverso...But the simpest model in gold, with a my Initials...My must loved would be Pasha de Cartier, with the glass back.

Now you started...

  Every Reverso is a good Reverso. Brilliant watch. Alas, I don't have any watches today. None. Again, if I had to choose just one it would be the Speedy Pro. In my opinion it's one of the ten best watches ever produced. I had the 30th Anniversary. But I'd choose one with a display back.
  
  To hear the ticking of a slow-beat mechanical watch is hypnotic. The fast-beat automatics sound great but the hand wound watches are cathartic.

      Yep. As the article states, Germany can make some fine watches.

        The French don't have as deep a tradition of watchmaking as the Swiss or Germans.

        I think the English were the first.
        
        But when I wrote the French near Switzerland...
        Now look the list for french watches...Quite a few...

        I don't understand how Breguet is French when it's headquartered and manufactured in Switzerland?

        I try to tell you that the part of France who is near the Swiss are the same people the same industry they share. Look at the time of the French Kings! Magnificent. Don�t forget France was one of the great country for a long time. So where the Turks with their empire. And that for hundreds of years.
