Back to the Past: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra Thin 1948
The iconic Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso has had many incarnations since its debut as a watch for polo players in 1931. One of the most recent is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra-Thin 1948, a classically elegant watch that revives the look of the Reverso model that heralded the style of the 1950s.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra-Thin 1948 is distinguished from other Reverso models by the inscription “Fabriqu�� en Suisse” (“made in Switzerland”) on the dial, just below the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo, a nod to the 1948 original. The traditional Reverso swiveling case, with its Art Deco-inspired rectangular shape and distinctive gadroons, is made of stainless steel.

First year Seamasters (1947) command premium prices?
I'm curious if Seamasters from 1947, the first year the Seamaster name was used, are considered more collectable than their counterparts from later years. I've seen a good number of '47 Seamasters for sale, and haven't personally noticed a substantial price difference, but I'm curious if others have. It would make sense, after all, for first year watches to command a premium. I purchased a vintage Seamaster (one of many that have made their way into my collection) some time ago. At the time of purchase, the exact date of production was not given. I later used the serial number to date it to 1947. It struck me later when reading another post on the Seamaster line that '47 was the first year of production. I don't plan to sell anyway, but I do enjoy having a watch from the original year of the famous Seamaster line.
