Reverso Tribute Tourbillon Platinum / Blue / Alligator

In Context

At 27.4 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. At 10.3 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

3926480 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue sunburst dial with a platinum case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a tourbillon.

Hand-wound movement with flying tourbillon and independently adjustable second time zone plus day-night indicator on the reverse.
