Actor Dev Patel (Jamal Malik, Slumdog Millionaire) Personalised his Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso with a Tree Engraving.

According to Jaeger-LeCoultre, Dev Patel [Jamal Malik in Danny Boyle's SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (2008)] wears a Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 in steel with a special engraving that has a personal meaning for the actor:



“For years I have had an obsession with doodling Trees wherever I go. It started in high school, to be specific in math’s class, where I would grab a textbook and spend hours perfecting my scribbles – anything to ease my boredom! Over time the image just stuck with me. Just the other day, I remember sketching a tree on a paper napkin for a member of staff who wanted my autograph in a restaurant.



The symbol of a tree exudes many qualities one associates with a leader, or even a great partner. A Provider who's Strong, Protective, Sensitive, Rooted, Creative, or even Selfless. Without sounding like a complete hippie, I really feel Trees possess a certain wisdom and mystery which gives them an aura of enchantment and magic. They epitomise new beginnings, much like when a tree loses its leaves and manages to grow new ones. Their real charm and power lies in being able to exude great strength but also immense sensitivity. As someone who's always been curious and eager to learn more, these are attributes which I strive to attain.



I guess what I am trying to say, is that, for me the image of a tree is a representation of life in all its complexity and beauty. It stands to represent opportunities, dreams, and should remind us all that being perfect is not the key… Growing is…

“He Who plants a tree, Plants a hope." (Lucy Lacrom, "Plant a Tree")
Let your dreams blossom… “, Dev Patel.

One of the attractions of the REVERSO series; the back and the possibility
to have it engraved.
I have no idea what I would do, but something else than a monogram is a very nice idea.

Even without the added bonus of the space for customised engraving, this watch is so cool on the wrist!

the watch feels so great on the wrist.
When the watch was introduced I just liked it, but after I tried it, months later,
I changed my mind. The fit is very different, since the case is more flat probably.
No, I am hooked now, hooked on the red dial version.

I generally like both sides of Reverso being puts to functional purpose (although it can be argued that engraving is one function). When given the choice, I always prefer a two-sided Reverso than a one sided one.

But the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 invokes a different kind of emotion, and it is addictive.

The ultrathin tribute To 1931 contains the essence of the original design in its purest form.
I am addicted to mine...

I agree.

Cool!
