You know, I heard them young folks talking ’bout this here Imitation Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Reverso Tribute Chronograph thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, I tell ya, these newfangled watches, they got so many names and numbers, it makes my old head spin. This one, it’s supposed to be like some fancy watch from a store. Special store, they say.
I seen some pictures, and it looks kinda nice, I guess. Shiny and all. Some are silver color, some are that rose gold color, like that old ring my cousin used to wear. They say it flips over, this Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Now, why would a watch need to flip over? Back in my day, a watch just told the time. This one, it’s got that flip side, but it’s just plain metal. Kinda like a mirror, just not shiny like a mirror. Maybe you put your initials on it? Or a pretty picture? I don’t know. Seems like a waste of space to me if it doesn’t tell time.
They call it a Tribute Chronograph. What does that even mean? Sounds like some kind of tribute band, playing old songs. And Chronograph is just a fancy word for watch. And these new ones are all special edition, like it’s a big deal, just because it’s new. They come out with new ones all the time, it seems. One year it’s this, next year it’s that. Hard to keep up. This one, it is supposed to be special because it is from 2023. It is new!
This JLC Reverso, they say it’s for grown folks. Now, I’m plenty grown, been grown a long time. But I don’t know if I need a watch that flips. My old watch, it just sits on my wrist, and it tells the time just fine. And it don’t need to be all fancy and flippy to do it.
They say this Jaeger-LeCoultre is good for money. Like, you buy it, and it keeps its money’s worth. Well, that’s good, I suppose. But who buys a watch thinking about selling it later? You buy a watch to tell the time, not to make money.
- This one has a blue face.
- And the frame around the face is that pink gold.
- It’s all shiny and new.
Now they got this one they call Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar. Another long name. See what I mean? And this one, they say it’s a masterpiece. Launched in 2016. Masterpiece for a watch? A watch is a watch. It tells the time. What’s so masterful about that?
They say this JLC Reverso Tribute is popular. Lots of folks like it. I guess it’s like them newfangled cars. Everyone wants the newest, shiniest thing. Me, I just need something that works, something that lasts. This new one, it is like the old one, but different. They say it is better, but I don’t know. I think old things are good.
Back in the day they didn’t have these kind of watches. You just had a watch, and it told the time. Didn’t flip, didn’t have a calendar, didn’t need a special name. Just a watch. That was good enough.
Maybe these young folks, they like all this fancy stuff. Me, I’m happy with simple things. A good cup of coffee, a sunny day, a watch that tells the time. Don’t need no Imitation Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Reverso Tribute Chronograph to tell me what time it is. I can just tell by looking at the sun, or the clock in my kitchen. It is easy.
This JLC watch, it’s a big deal, I guess. But to me, it’s just another watch. Maybe pretty, maybe not. But a watch is a watch. And time is time. Don’t matter what kind of fancy name you put on it. It all keeps ticking by just the same. These watches, they are all the same. They are just like other watches.
Now, this flipping watch, JLC Reverso Tribute, they made a bunch of new ones. They said it was a “triple threat.” I don’t know about that. Sounds like something you’d hear in a wrestling match. But that is what they said. Three new ones. Maybe they are good. Maybe they are good gifts. I don’t know.
You want a watch to last. You want it to be sturdy. I seen some folks with these fancy watches, and they’re always breaking. Need fixing. My old watch, it just keeps on ticking. Never needs no fancy repairs. So maybe this watch is good. Maybe not. If you want this Imitation Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Reverso Tribute Chronograph thing, then go for it. As long as it tells the time, that is all that matters. It is a watch. That is what it is supposed to do. If it does that, then it is good.
