Hands-On: General Douglas MacArthur's Personal Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, Complete With Lacquered Monogram
In April of this year, while searching through an Antiquorum catalog, we discovered one of the coolest examples of one of the coolest watches of all time – a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso owned by none other than General Douglas MacArthur. We've always known the Reverso to be the choice of several great men, but it was unknown that General MacArthur in particular wore the watch. We knew the MacArthur Reverso would have its fans when it came up for sale, and we were right – it sold for over 87,000 CHF. What we didn't know at the time was that the watch would be purchased by the company that originally made it, and we would have the chance to see it in the metal some months later. 1 OF 2 As you can see, the mid-1930s Reverso, retailed Golay Fils & Stahl, features a rich black dial and lacquered monogramming on the case back that reads "D MAC A" – easily one of the coolest uses of a Reverso case back we've come across.The watch, interes

State of the Union
Let's try not to make this political, please. Widely watched sporting, cultural, and political events are generally good watch spotting opportunities. Did anyone see anything good at the State of the Union address tonight?Pence had on a black leather-banded dress watch, but I couldn't make out the band. I saw some bracelet watches but my TV wasn't big and sharp enough to catch what they were.Did anyone spot any Rolex? I mean, I'm not expecting any Mrs. Roger Federer type bling, but I thought we might see something.
