One can scarcely do better than a simple Reverso Monoface when searching for an ideal dress or everyday watch. But if a slightly more elevated look is your preference, then you should consider the new Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds. Housed in a 27.4mm x 45.6mm pink gold case and fitted to a matching pink gold Milanese bracelet, this spectacular execution of one of the world’s most iconic timepieces elevates the Reverso to a piece of wearable art. Featuring a finely grained golden-tone dial with faceted hour indices, small seconds, and a dauphine handset, it has a blank caseback that can easily be engraved with a message or design of your choice.
Powered by the brand’s hand-wound Calibre 822 movement with 42 hours of power reserve, the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds pays homage to the original 1931 model through its omissions: There are no sophisticated complications here, no extraneous ornamentation. Rather, it’s the pink gold — and especially the mesh Milanese bracelet, which appears integrated into the case due to a clever lug design — that shines both figuratively and literally in this brilliant execution. At just 7.56mm thick, it’s ideally suited to slip under a cuff, though it could do just as well worn over a shirtsleeve for a bit of sartorial playfulness.
