The Dark Knight Rises tribute watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre revealed

Unknown to a few Batman fans, Swiss high-end luxury watch and clock manufacturer Jaeger-LeCoultre has actually designed watches for Batman movies. And it seems that Bruce Wayne is loving the famed manufacturer’s work so far. Now that Christopher Nolan’s third and final Dark Knight Rises film has been released to complete the Batman trilogy, Jaeger-LeCoultre is honoring Gotham’s hero by designing a special tribute Reverso chronograph similar to the one worn by Christian Bale in the Dark Knight Rises flick. The watch features a flippable steel case and an engraved bat logo on the back, which is pretty awesome. Availability and pricing has not been announced, although you can check out this watch alongside the one worn by Val Kilmer in Batman Forever at specialty JLC boutiques in Geneva, London, Los Angeles and Hong Kong.

You’ll Flip for The Dark Knight Rises Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Watch

I wasn’t aware of the fact myself, but apparently Jaeger-LeCoultre watches have had cameos as part of Bruce Wayne’s wardrobe in several Batman films through the years. It makes sense. Only the best for Bruce Wayne. And money is no object for Gotham’s leading billionaire. Now, to honor the release of The Dark Knight Rises, Jaeger-LeCoultre has come up with this tribute Reverso chronograph.

This watch is similar to the one worn by Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Rises. This very special piece features an engraved bat logo on the back, instantly making it a geek classic.

If you want to see some of the watches worn on screen by Batman himself, you can check them out at specialty JLC boutiques in Geneva, London, L.A., and Hong-Kong. They don’t mention the price, but I’m certain they’re too rich for my blood – but damn if they aren’t nice to look at.
