One of the Most Desirable Watches – The Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010Perhaps one of the most desirable and rarest watches in the world is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2. They were produced in an extremely limited edition of 75. It has its own web page from Jaeger-LeCoultre listed under “Horological Excellence”. You can find yours on the internet for just $ 280,000 or so. Of course, that is way too pricey for you or me.
So how to find a replica of this great watch you may ask? We thought it would be impossible ourselves. But there it is at Watchess – for just a fraction of the original. This replica watch looks just like the real thing to us. But, we suspect the experts would be able to pick this one apart. You may want to buy yours now – or even order two of them – before they sell out. However, these replicas are offered by other dealers at the same price and are sold as fakes.
The Summer 2009 Edition of Movement magazine did a feature article on another great Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece – The Hybris Mechanica 55. Even this magazine edition is as rare as the watch itself. The actual watch’s value? A staggering $ 2.5 million! While you can’t yet find a replica to match this one, we are confident that the watch will soon be available. Keep watching this space.
However, the master watchmakers at Best Swiss Replica can offer you their minute repeater wristwatch. If you know what a repeater is, you’ll want to buy this one. The people at Fuzal also offer a very fine Reverso Grande Automatic for a very reasonable price. Have you shopped for an original edition of one of these? You might be able to buy one on eBay for just over $ 3400 or so. Many other fine replicas are available at New Watches. We particularly like the Power Reserve JLC-8 – available to buy now.
