Enamel Hokusai The Falls at Aoigaoka
OVERVIEW
REVERSO TRIBUTE ENAMEL HOKUSAI
CRAFTSMANSHIP
80 HOURS OF MINIATURE PAINTING
The miniature-enamel paintings were executed using the Geneva technique, involving at least 14 layers of enamel, each fired at 800°C, and requiring a total of 80 hours of meticulous work. The enameller faced the challenge of precisely reproducing every detail on a scale of 2 cm2.
GUILLOCHÉ ENAMELLED DIAL
To complement the painting on the reverse side of the watch, the dial is hand-guilloché with a herringbone-style pattern, consisting of 120 lines, each of which required three passages of the rose engine lathe (360 passages in total). This design lies beneath a layer of translucent grand feu enamel in a cyan-blue hue.
ART STORY
HOKUSAI, BRIDGING EAST AND WEST
Hokusai (c.1760–1849) was a pivotal innovator who bridged Eastern and Western art. He profoundly influenced Japanese art by transforming 19th-century ukiyo-e, broadening its subject matter to include landscapes, plants, and animals. His work, particularly through woodblock prints, shaped the West's perception of Japanese art and significantly influenced Impressionism and later art movements.
THE FALLS AT AOIGAOKA IN THE EASTERN CAPITAL
The miniaturised scene represents a powerful stream cascading over rocks, creating a marked contrast between the serene lake water that forms the origin of the falls and the rough waters in its basin. The human figures in this scene go about their daily business, apparently oblivious to the waterfall’s beauty and power.
CALIBRE
A RECTANGULAR HEART
The manually wound calibre 822 that drives the Reverso Tribute Enamel Hokusai watch is the epitome of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy. Entirely designed, produced and assembled in-house, calibre 822 is an uncommon rectangular movement allowing it to fit in the Reverso watch case.

HERITAGE
THE BIRTH OF AN ICON
In 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched a watch that was destined to become a classic of 20th-century design: the Reverso. As an object that so deftly synthesised form and function, it has become one of the most recognisable watches of all time, looking as fresh and modern today as when it first appeared.
While its blank metal flip side had begun as a purely functional solution to avoid damage to the dial, it was an ideal surface for personalisation with monograms, emblems or personal messages using lacquer, engraving, enamel or gemstones. The Jaeger-LeCoultre museum showcases exceptional examples of this craftsmanship, including the 1936 Reverso ‘Indian Beauty’.
