The Reverso Grande Taille continues its appearance with the same reversible Art Deco case design that symbolizes Wayne's dual identity. The watch's ability to flip between its elegant dial and protective steel caseback remains the perfect metaphor for a character "warring within himself"—oscillating between public visage and secret vigilante. The Grande Taille's understated elegance suits a billionaire industrialist who must maintain aristocratic appearances while harboring a darker purpose. The rectangular case design with its distinctive gadroons and ability to completely conceal the dial reflects Wayne's need for secrecy and protection. As Wayne's world grows darker and he attracts "freaks, a different breed of criminal," the watch remains his constant companion—a reliable, classic timepiece for a character seeking an exit strategy from his endless war on crime.
