Why Villains Wear Rolex & Heroes Wear JLC: Reverso Duoface Calendar vs Day-Date Watch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2023
- What makes the JLC Reverso so classy compared to the Rolex Day-Date at around the same price? And why do comic book heroes and sophisticates tend to choose one, while the world of villains, men of power, and rebels tend to choose the other? In this video, I compare the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar to the Rolex Day-Date (ref. 18238) for a look at how these two watches came to be, including the cinematic, cultural, sociological, and stylistic history and design heritage that made them what they are today. What do you think about the watches featured in this video? Please share in the comments!

Tony wasn’t a criminal he was in the waste management business, completely legitimate
I had Tony’s voice in my head reading that. 😂
What are you going to do?
@@markharrison2484 he’s my biggest earner
Aye Tone
It’s a stereotype. And it’s offensive.
A stereotype that some embrace for their own sake, which prolongs it and takes little effort on their part to reap the rewards of an established image. Oooh, tough guy!
Tristano - This video was fantastic and the amount of work that must have went into this is mind boggling. I really appreciate that you don't just discuss the latest releases (which is fun, no doubt) but you bring context and and a deeper analysis to watches and horology as a whole. Thank you for all the amazing work you do and more importantly, thank you for sharing it with us.
"So there you have it; history, horology, pop culture, sociology, class, engineering..." - that's the Urban Gentry! Great vid as always.
Really appreciate the production quality and your attention to detail 👍🏻 as always: a pleasure to watch
Thank you so much, always appreciated. O&U!
Best regards,
TGV
I second that 🙂
@theurbangentry . Fantastic production,creativity, and content ! I had to keep reminding myself what I was watching, mesmerising.
TGV, this might be one of your best videos. Been a long time fan and you are so good at giving context to these iconic watches. This video in particular touches on so many different facets of each watch. Amazing production quality and editing as usual. Keep up the great work!
Except in most cases the context of what he is saying is incorrect…
@@HEATSEEKER00 any examples?
Thank you Ricky, you are a true gent. It makes all the hard work worth it when I hear from those who truly get it and appreciate it.
Onwards and ever upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
@@Tricky_Ricky44 Of course that person has no exanples, that type throws rocks and runs away.
I’m running out of superlatives for your videos. This was probably one of my favourites so far. Not just the editing, but the transcendence of a “mere” watch video to that of a socio-economic, cultural and historical perspective on design philosophies. Bravo, sir!
Are you kidding me? 30 minutes back I was searching the web for a JLC Duoface and wondered, if TGV would ever come up with a video about it. Nice!! 🎉
I’ve had this JLC since April 2023. It was a grail for me, and it’s become my favorite.
This is how you make a watch comparison. Superbly detailed, cultural story telling, visually compelling. Just genius.
Big espresso 😂 Love these video essays where you place watches within their larger cultural and historical contexts, and the amount of work you put into finding all these great video clips and editing them into one video is amazing. Big espresso to you, T, you’ve earned it!
Love how knowledgeable you are, that you always have interesting perspectives and unlike so many other channels on the topic, it's done with a unique perspective of someone who is at home both in the US and Europe, not to mention the production standard, great sense of humour and sheer class. One of my absolute favourite and easily one of the most enjoyable channels about watches! Keep up the great work!
Another sublime production Tristano. Worthy of a small movie rather than a "humble" upload. Fantastic subject, music, story and content. This, is how you make a horological mini movie. Don't ever change my friend. O&U.
what a wonderful video. you haven't just compared two beautiful watches, you were critical and aggressive in your presentation of their different histories. love it!
Amazing video! 🙌
About time you got some class and ditch the GMT... Secretly I'm jealous; gorgeous GMT by the way.. 😅
This was an excellent video, transcending "simple" watch-content and instead placing the dichotomy of a comparison within a greater cultural and philosophical whole, and how enticement towards either choice might be guided by subconscious affinities. Both captivating and thought-provoking, which is much appreciated. Thank you!
I love your videos so much, such a high quality in production and editing, keep up the good work!
A great way to end the day! Many thanks for more great content TGV, onwards and upwards 😊
Amazing depth in both content and production. Well done as always!
The intellectual depth of your videos is truly enjoyable TGV. You are a special one! Onwards and upwards.
Hello! I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on vintage King Seiko, specifically the 44, 45, and 56 KS. The history behind King Seiko vs Grand Seiko and the Suwa and Daini factories is awesome. Regardless of the awesome history, these vintage pieces offer in my opinion the most affordable way to get into Grand Seiko esque pieces, as these watches are very similar to the 44 GS of that period with the beautiful grammar of design styling, but for half the cost. The workmanship of these watches are incredible, and they represent a large collector community. I would love to see a review, or just your thoughts on the world of vintage King Seiko!
Smashing video TGV! Loved the architecture and historical references. The way to go!! Waiting for the next instalment
This is such an incredible video. How lucky we are to have you make such useful commentaries 🙏🏼
molte grazie signore Veneto. Really appreciate the time you put into your content. A Labour of love.
Video pazzesco! Have a great day TGV, thanks for the quality content :D
Once more - Awesome! : ) I appreciate these kind of educational videos where you analyse the design of iconic watches and also put it into historical context. : ) All the best!!
You Sir are The true Gent in the world of TH-cam watch reviews.
Fantastic video sir, thanks for taking the time!
Been watching your videos for years! It’s been great watching your videos evolve throughout the years. You’re at the top of your game and it looks like you’re really having fun making these videos!
Very nice perspectives. Thank you!
Love youff work.. amazing quality and attention to every aspect.. Nicely done!
Frank in Colorado
Great video. Appreciate the time and effort you out in
Excellent videoessai, thank you!
I'm a big fan of Jonathan Meades, and I gather you are, too: I noticed a copy of his book "Filthy English" in one of your previous videos. I see his influence in the production values, cultural interests, and delivery all over this video. I love seeing his legacy live on in this way, so well done!
Yet again another great show just before going to bed (here in the Netherlands..), love art deco, checking out Chrono 24 as we speak, convinced on adding a (vintage) reverso now, cheers for that!. Always looking forward to that little blue dot for new content on your channel. Great inspiration, keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed the scene with two of you - well edited!
Great refreshing work, thank you.
Superb edition of this video and the context were watches are born. Congrats TGV
Brilliant stuff, love the videos. Nice Parker there at the end.
Always happy to see a new upload!
Possibly your best video for a very long time. Good work!!!
This is just beautifully executed, I want more of this analysis.
Another fantastic episode TGV. I have been following you over the past few years and have witnessed exponential growth on all levels. Good job sir.
Fabulous 👌🏻 I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's very appreciated. 🙏 😌
Top quality filming, editing, story telling and narrating. You got it all, thank you.
An relaxed education and a pleasure to watch and listen - an antidote to a hectic day - thanks TGV
So glad to hear that, thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Hugo always makes my day! Thank you!
One of the best video-essay writers on TH-cam. Always informative, entertaining and brilliantly done. A tip of the proverbial hat from Beirut.
🙌🙌🙌 I'm honored and flattered.
Thank you so much,
Best regards,
TGV
All nice. I love art deco so a nice and informative upload thanks 😊
I really appreciate your work!
Hats off 👍
Amazing Content and Videography! That Intro could instantly be an Ad for a Watch Manufacturer!
Love this format! Keep it up TGV
Enchanting - such good content. Thank you sir. Onward and upward.
This is one of your best videos yet. Thanks and well done.
Loved this episode , more of these historical design studies please
This is an absolutely brilliant video. Thank you!
Great work as always!
The presentation and photography are outstanding. Excellent work. Subscribed.
Great video, as always. Thanks TGV.
Thanks for the best watch content on the web! I especially enjoyed this episode. I love the discussion of the watches as products of their times, extensions of a natural process of their times.
Very thoughtful and elaborate video. Enjoyed watching it.
This nothing short of a documentary. While I always enjoy your content, this was so well done and informative it stands out on it's own.
Caro Tristano, you delivered another very high-end cortometraggio: your fantasy and proficiency in filming/editing, and that awesome text, with high literary qualities with no rhetorical drawbacks... well done mate!
TGV, you have a knack for educating! Keep up the great work 👏🏽
What a brilliant video TGV! I actually missed this one as we were holidaying on the Med for a few weeks and thankfully yours and Marc's snobbery video brought me to this one. Thoroughly enjoyable. It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you!!
Brilliant commentary as always!
Great episode. Best ever! Thanks😎
Tristano, perfectly presented video and content. My compliments Sir.
Such a good thought provoking video. My influences laid bare for me to see and realise for the 1st time.
Deep appreciation for this video. Thank you.
That countdown in Russian was outright omimous taken all that is going on. And the shot of the beautiful VOLGA GAZ-21 at 9:55!! I live in the city of Nizhniy Novgorod (former Gorky) where they made these. Two refferences coming from my country in this video and what a heartbreaking contrast! Brilliant work TGV! You have a huge fan in Russia.
Another amazing video TGV, an instant classic.
This is your best video in some time. Excellent work.
One of your best videos, bravo.
Fantastic video AGAIN TGV, abstraction, contextualization, history and story. Nobody does it better in watch media. 👏👏👏bravissimo! Kim Besinger in Batman was so beautiful aww 🥰
This was not a TH-cam video, it was an excellent documentary❗💯👌🏻
Great video, as always.
Tristano, this video was superb. I had never considered the Hero / villain concept regarding these two pieces. I like the art of the JLC compared to the gaudier Day-Date, but I also appreciate the personal success statement that the DD Carrie’s with it. For me, I doubt I could pull off a Reverso, and the DD just isn’t my bag. I will just keep hunting my quintessential centerpiece.
Thank you for all the hard work and the wonderfully entertaining and educational content. Phenomenal. Onward and upward, my friend.
Yeah, so much in this video... Incredible work !
Very nicely done.
One of my favorite episodes to date. Excellent.
Best video you have done in a while- and that's not a knock on recent content. I just loved the focus on the cultural transitions from one period to the next, with the watches as part of, rather than the whole story. Bravo!
OUCH - sharp video - razor sharp! I loved it 👍👍👍 Amongst your best, snd that says a lot.
Hahaha, wristwatch check right at the very end. Was going to comment that you forgot. But you did not disappoint and got there at the last moment!
Great Vid TGV. So much went into this. Wonder if your grail watch is the JLC Reverso Tribute Chrono? It's one of mine. Greetings to you and yours.
My folks and I were discussing art deco last night at dinner, coincidentally. At any rate, this was a great video which I think may be your best yet, TGV. I thoroughly enjoyed it - thanks for all the effort and insight, here.
One of your best. Graci.
Another excellent video! When is this years war room tour happening tgv ?
Awesome video, as usual. You, sir, have the capability to make this hobby into an artform 😎
Greatly written and deeply intelligent as always
You are a Master wordsmith my friend. Takes me to another time I wish I would’ve been around for.
Luv ya brutha…. Been subscribed since 2017. Your very best video! … learnt so much about horology, art, stoism, design, class…Belisimo ❤
Of course, I've seen Hugo in many movies and plays, however I did not expect to see you, TGV play "Freddy" in 'Mr Inbetween'. Kipper's knickers performance and a top notch show. 👏👏
Always the great intro!
A masterpiece of videography ❤❤❤
Fun video. Would like to see more like this one!
Wow! I always love watching your videos. The amount of effort and time you put into your videos is truly impressive. Then, there are videos like this one. Simply outstanding.
Phenomenal video. As a 5+ year subscriber, one of the best videos of all time!
Video di altissimo livello. Grazie del lavoro che fai!
Onwards and upwards sir 👍🏻 Quality again. So much detail and work goes into your videos. That was my 18 minutes of tranquility before the day begins.
One of your better videos. Something that even non-watch enthusiasts would appreciate.
