Collector Description
Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso Classique, Lemania 2310 (circa 1960’s), Tudor Black Bay GMT. Not all my watches but the three I have with me in a new city. I appreciate the variation and getting to have a different watch I love on my wrist each day. Lemania chronos are found in many of the best Swiss watches, and I am a huge fan of this underrated maker. That might be my favorite at the moment. I believe the dial has been redone but done well, and the 2310 movement is drop-dead gorgeous and still keeps perfect time.
