Why Villains Wear Rolex & Heroes Wear JLC: Reverso Duoface Calendar vs Day-Date Watch

What makes the JLC Reverso so classy compared to the Rolex Day-Date at around the same price? And why do comic book heroes and sophisticates tend to choose one, while the world of villains, men of power, and rebels tend to choose the other? In this video, I compare the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar to the Rolex Day-Date (ref. 18238) for a look at how these two watches came to be, including the cinematic, cultural, sociological, and stylistic history and design heritage that made them what they are today.
