The Reverso from Jaeger-LeCoultre: a Timeless Expression of Watchmaking
Since 1931, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso collection has stood the test of time, establishing itself as an iconic watch. More than just a timepiece, it embodies a harmony between Art Deco aesthetics, ingenious functionality and the watchmaking craftsmanship of our Manufacture. Each Reverso watch reflects the ingenuity and elegance that have characterized our creations for nearly a century, appealing to watch enthusiasts, men and women alike, who seek distinction.
A Unique Heritage: Innovation in the Service of Precision
Born of a challenge on the polo fields of India, the reversible case of the Reverso was designed to protect its dial from shocks, a bold invention. This innovative mechanism not only defined the identity of this watch, but also transformed a sporting instrument into a globally recognized aesthetic benchmark. Today, this reversibility symbolizes the spirit of innovation and the quest for precision that drives the Jaeger-LeCoultre Maison and its timeless watches.
Art Deco Elegance Reinvented: an Inimitable Design
With its clean geometric lines, balanced volumes and harmonious proportions, the Reverso draws its inspiration from the Art Deco style. Its distinctive horizontal gadroons, rectangular dial and refined silhouette give it an instantly recognizable look. The Reverso Classic and Reverso Tribute collections uphold this heritage, revisiting historical codes through a variety of finishes, precious materials and colors, offering watches that elegantly adapt to both men’s and women’s wrists.
A Multi-faceted Collection
The Reverso offers a wide range of models, each designed to suit your lifestyle and preferences:
- Reverso Monoface: The expression of watchmaking purity with a single dial, ideal for a refined and timeless style.
- Reverso Duo: A technical feat offering two contrasting dials, allowing two time zones with different aesthetic expressions to be displayed in a single case, appreciated by travelers and connoisseurs alike.
- Reverso Duetto: A symbol of feminine elegance, featuring a luminous dial on the front and a second, more ornate dial on the reverse, sometimes set with jewels.
Each model is available in different sizes – small, medium or large – ensuring a natural fit for every wrist.
Exceptional Movements: the Craftsmanship of the Manufacture
The Reverso collection offers a range of watches in steel or pink gold, powered by high-precision mechanical movements, often hand-wound. For detailed technical information and to discover all of our creations, we invite you to visit our boutiques or our official website.
Refined Complications and Watchmaking Expertise
The unique rectangular form of the Reverso serves as a showcase for some of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most sophisticated watch complications: tourbillons, chronographs, complex calendars and minute repeaters, such as the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater. Each movement is entirely designed, assembled and adjusted in our workshops with meticulous attention to detail, guaranteeing exemplary precision and reliability, reflecting Swiss watchmaking excellence.
Customization: Your Story Engraved in Time
