Limited Edition The Dark Knight Rises Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso


The highly anticipated third and "final" installment of the Dark Knight trilogy premiered world-wide this weekend. To mark the occasion, Jaeger-LeCoultre has announced a limited edition The Dark Knight Rises Reverso.

On the back of the flip case is the Batman logo similar to the image used in promotional materials for the movie.
Not much information has been released about the watch (release date, number of watches, price, etc). Let's see if it generates as much interest as the movie.

It is interesting to note that this is not the first Batman watch JLC has made.
In 1995 JLC released a Batman Forever Limited Edition Reverso in connection with the film starring Val Kilmer.

35 was produced but not sold, under agreement with Warner Brothers. The watches were auctioned for charity and used as lottery prizes.

Here's a picture - nearly two decades on, it looks a little tacky as would be the movie if you view it again now.
