Did JLC have anything to do with it? It appears to be a copy...the one I have seen would be after the patent on the JLC reverso and both makes are Swiss. But FL does not seem as well finished...at least from pictures of the case. And I have no idea what the movement would be like but the few Favre Leubas I've seen on the web have been less finished or badly treated. Do any of the JLC Reverso fans here have any knowledge of this other brand/model? John | ||

As far as I know it was a fairly cheap knock off, chrome plated case (dumb idea if you ask me) and was discontinued because of a successful patent suit by JLC. The Hamilton Otis was also discontinued for the same reasons. | ||

a few years back an Indian dealer sold some pieces in Singapore. said these were old production and were make in Favre Indian manufacturing plant. The sub-second movement is nice at least it is FLC quality but case is rough and is in brass. | ||

Hi Manish, many thanks for the info! Actually this is the first real hint, these "Reversos" are sort of fake with no vintage provenance. This definately matches my theory. Ilja | ||
