ICONEEK price: SOLD

The Sun Moon was introduced by JLC in 1999 and remains in the product catalog until 2004/2005. The model is an extremely fine, rectangular, 18K pink gold reversible wristwatch with power-reserve, phases and ages of the moon, night and day indication. The model was available in three guises: 18K Pink Gold, such as the present watch, 18K White Gold, ref. 275.34.70, and 950 Platinum, a limited edition of 125 examples, with fully engraved visible movement. The model was never produced in stainless steel, an additional proof of luxury for such an iconic model. The Sun Moon is an elegant and striking member of the whole Reverso family. Perfectly finish, the model is a pure pleasure on the wrist.

Under catalog ref 275.34.70, ref. 270.2.63 engraved on the case back, the Reverso Sun Moon is one of the most attractive complicated Reverso, and furthermore one of the few models produced with a visible movement. The rectangular and reversible case is a Grand Taille size, with 42mm long by 26 mm wide. The model is larger that the Reverso classic. The back of the case is inscribed: Reverso JL Jaeger LeCoultre; a seven digit serial number, and 270.2.63. The watch has a five-body construction. Both sides comes with sapphire crystal -set reeded bezels.

Under the sapphire crystal, we find a mint and attractive two tone guilloche silvered dial with painted bold black Arabic numerals, blued steel sword hands, inner minute track, sector for the power reserve indication at 10, apertures for the night and day indication at 2, and for the age and phases of the moon at 6, concentric to the constant seconds. The night and day indication is showing a « sun » during day hours and « stars on a dark blue background » for night hours. A corrector on the band allows to correct quickly the moon phases, thanks to the setting pin provided. The instruction manual cautions against adjusting the moon phase if the hour hand is between 10 p.m. and 3 .a.m. when the moon mechanism is engaged. The Day-Night display will be very helpful to ensure that the watch is in a safe Day phase before adjusting the moon. The Sun Moon has an overall great looking, with its well balanced dial and easy to read features.
