# My Son’s Reverso

Bought with his wife during their honeymoon in Milan, with a promise made that same day: whenever a first child arrived, its initials and birth date would go on the back. Three years later, he kept it.

## My Son’s Reverso

Bought on honeymoon in Milan, with a promise made the same day: the initials and birth date of a first child would go on the back. Three years later, it was kept.

Reverso Classic, 45.6mm

I bought this 45.6 mm Reverso Classic with my wife during our honeymoon in Milan. I had admired Reverso watches for quite some time, always finding myself drawn back to them, until I finally decided to make one mine.

That same day, I told my wife that if we were ever fortunate enough to have a child, I would engrave the watch with the initials and birth date of our firstborn. Three years later, I was able to keep that promise.

One day, this watch will pass on to our son.

### About [@decowatches](https://myreversostory.com/collectors/decowatches)

A Reverso collector known on Instagram as @decowatches. His two engraved pieces trace two different threads of his life: a promise made to his wife on their honeymoon in Milan, and more than two decades spent playing guitar, including one professional stretch. A third, a steel Tribute Duoface Tourbillon, was love at first sight.
