This Jaeger-LeCoultre, they call it, what is it? Reverso Tribute Chronograph. Fancy name. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Seen it in a magazine, all shiny and new. They say it’s for, uh, “mature” folks. Mature! Like old fruit? Well, I guess I’m ripe enough then! Always thought those fancy watches was just for them city slickers, but this one, it caught my eye.
My grandson, he’s all into this internet thing, says these Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, they’re like gold. You buy ’em, and they don’t lose their shine, like that old locket I got from my mama. They are good watches and you can always sell them, that’s what he said. He said that’s called “value retention”, sounds too complicated. It means they’re a good thing to have. They don’t get old and worthless like some things.
This here Reverso, it’s got two faces. Like two watches in one! One side shows the time, and you flip it over, and there’s another one! Kinda like my old Betty, two-faced sometimes, bless her heart. That flip thing, that’s what they call a “dual-sided time display”, whatever that means. It also has a weird name, they call it “Caliber 860 movement”. It’s probably just some small stuff moving around to tell the time. Ain’t that something? Technology these days!
Heard some folks talkin’ ’bout fakes. Yep, even these fancy watches got fakes. Like them fake teeth old man Johnson got. Gotta be careful. They say some fake Reversos, they look just like the real thing. But you gotta look real close. My grandson, he says these fakes, they use the same numbers as the real ones. Sneaky, ain’t it? These fakes are just like that fake “Esquire”, which has reviews and stuff, but it’s not the real thing, you know. Same like eBay, it is good, but some people sell fake stuff there too. You gotta check it carefully!
- This Reverso thing, it’s not small. I mean it’s not that big but it’s not tiny like a ladybug. They say it’s 49.4 mm long and 29.9 mm wide, and like, 11.4mm thick. Whatever that means. Probably just the size of my thumb, I reckon.
- They makin’ new ones all the time, these watch folks. Heard they made a bunch for some big watch show in 2023, called Watches and Wonders 2023. All the big shots go there, show off their shiny stuff.
- They got one, they call it the Reverso Tribute Monoface. Don’t know why it’s called “mono”, sounds like monkey to me. But it’s another one of them fancy Reversos. Maybe I should get one for my husband for next year’s new year. They call it “Lunar New Year”, I think.
My grandson, he’s always tellin’ me to shop online. Says it’s cheaper. “Save money,” he says. Well, I like to see things with my own eyes before I buy ’em. Like pickin’ out a good watermelon, gotta thump it, feel it, know it’s good. You can’t do that on that there internet. He said “Free 2-day Shipping”, but I don’t trust that, I don’t want to pay no “Membership Fee”!
But these Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, they do seem like a good thing. Like a good investment. Like plantin’ seeds and watchin’ ’em grow. You put your money in, and it grows, just like my tomato plants. They say these Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are good like that. They hold their worth. This is called a good investment, like my old pot. It never fails me, always there when I need it, and it will always be valuable. Same as these watches.
So, this Reverso Tribute Chronograph, it’s more than just a watch. It’s like a little piece of history, I reckon. Somethin’ you can pass down, like my mama’s old locket. Somethin’ that tells a story. A story about time, and how it keeps on tickin’, just like us. And maybe, just maybe, it’s somethin’ that makes an old lady like me feel a little bit fancy, even if I’m just wearin’ my old overalls and feedin’ the chickens. Because this watch is good for every style. They say it is a sports watch, I don’t know, I think it is just a good watch, for everyone, no matter they wear jeans or a suit. I think that’s it. These watches are just that good.
These watches are good. They are shiny. And they are not cheap, but worth the money. If you can buy one, buy one. They are good to have. If you don’t have money, then don’t buy. But if you have money, then you should buy. It is a good watch. It is a good thing to have. Like a good cow. Or a good chicken. Or a good pot. I like these Jaeger-LeCoultre watches.
