Time+Tide readers chose the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph as their favorite watch release of 2023, giving it more than 32% of the vote in the publication’s community poll. That is a readers’ preference, not a representative ranking of watch buyers or an objective verdict on quality.
How Time+Tide chose its readers’ favorite
In an article published on 13 January 2024, Borna Bošnjak described a poll asking Time+Tide’s audience to name its favorite 2023 watch release. The publication gathered responses from a social-media post, shared a summary of audience favorites on Instagram, and tallied comments to select a winner. Time+Tide’s report does not give a total vote count, a complete sampling frame, or a method for screening duplicate or ineligible responses. The result is best read as a snapshot of that audience’s enthusiasm.
What the readers voted for
| Watch | Share reported by Time+Tide in 2024 |
|---|---|
| Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph | Over 32% — winner |
| Tudor Black Bay 54 | Approximately 21% |
| Longines Spirit Zulu Time | 13% |
| Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 1 | 7% |
Time+Tide reported that these four watches together received over 70% of the votes. The remainder was spread fairly evenly among the Czapek Place Vendôme Complicité, TAG Heuer Monaco Night Driver, and Chopard Alpine Eagle Sunburnt, but the article did not provide individual shares for those three.
The report also mentions reader suggestions such as the TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox, Tudor Pelagos FXD, Rolex Daytona Le Mans, independent watches from Berneron and Simon Brette, Accutron DNA, and Ulysse Nardin Freak. These were suggestions, not all formally ranked poll results.

What makes the winning Reverso distinctive
The winning steel watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph, reference Q389848J. The manufacturer describes a manually wound Calibre 860 movement and a reversible, two-sided display: the front shows hours and minutes, while the reverse presents the time and chronograph functions, including a 30-minute counter and chronograph seconds. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s product page lists a 49.4 × 29.9 mm case, 11.14 mm thickness, and 3-bar water resistance. The watch is supplied with two interchangeable straps: leather and blue canvas, and an all-leather Casa Fagliano design.
Those details point to a watch whose appeal is strongly tied to its reversible design and mechanical chronograph display. They also give prospective owners practical questions to weigh: whether the case dimensions suit their wrist, whether they want a manually wound movement, and whether 3-bar water resistance fits their intended use. The poll result alone cannot answer those personal fit and use questions.

How to use the result when choosing a watch
A community vote tells you which releases captured the attention of one publication’s audience; it does not establish which watch is best for every buyer. Compare the models you are considering on the things that affect daily ownership:
- Fit: Check case dimensions and how the watch wears on your wrist, not just the headline diameter.
- Movement and functions: Decide whether you prefer a manually wound or automatic watch and which complications you will actually use.
- Water resistance and use: Match the rating and construction to your routine rather than assuming a watch’s appearance implies suitability for swimming or diving.
- Price and availability: Confirm current pricing and availability in your market. The poll article does not provide a consistent price or specification comparison across all the leading watches.
For the Reverso specifically, use the manufacturer’s current regional listing to confirm specifications and availability before making a purchase decision.
