Batman The Dark Knight Rises Limited Edition Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch
For many people, today July 20th, 2012 is another Batman day as the latest movie hits theaters. The third Chris Nolan Batman movie opens and brands are eager to capitalize on Bat-fever. In the The Dark Knight Rises Bruce Wayne (played by Christian Bale) wears a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Date. I look forward to seeing if that is a noticeable detail. As a purchasable homage to the movie, Jaeger-LeCoultre has released a limited edition version of the Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 watch (read more about the base watch here).
On the rear of the flippable case is an engraved and lacquered Batman logo as is used specifically in The Dark Knight Rises movie. The front of the case is the art-deco looking black dial of the Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 watch. It comes in a steel case, and should be a nice piece to wear for those who want to recall (supposedly) the final of the three Chris Nolan Batman movies. Why does it need to end here?
Surprisingly this is not the first watch Jaeger-LeCoultre made for a Batman movie. A very similar limited edition Reverso watch was made several years ago when Batman Forever was released. The press release from Jaeger-LeCoultre isnt clear on how many pieces will be made or where they will be available. However, it does hint to the fact that they should be in Jaeger-LeCoultre brand boutiques in Los Angeles, London, Geneva, and Hong Kong.
I have no words. I just love this watch. It is very comfortable and beautiful.
I love this watch. It goes great with any outfit. It is easy to tell time even without the numbers. This Marc Jacobs watch is a great gift for anyone. It is not too and not to and looks great on.
It is a very nice watch, it is just a little larger than i thought it would be.
Received item in good time. Good Deal! Thank you!!
I've worn my 2000 daily for 15 years (wife has the ladies watch)
- Crystal is perfect despite lots of significant abuse
- Stainless steel case and band show minimal wear
- Accurate to within a few seconds a month
- Good service when needed
- Continues to look good dressed up or down
- Pins connecting bracelet to case failed at 13 years, replaced for $2
I fully expect this watch to last another 15 years, if not a lifetime. All things considered, a great value.
