Duoface Small Seconds
Overview
Reverso Classic
Inspired by the Reversos created in the late 30’s, the Reverso Classic is the traditional expression of the rectangular icon. Its swivelling concept turns the reverse side into a second expression of time either with a second time-zone (Duoface) or simply another style (Duetto).
Timeless elegance
Featuring the original three-lined gadroons and 12 Arabic numerals, two-tone finished dials, and sword hands, the Reverso Classic offers a timeless design. Elevating its aesthetic codes, the inside of the cradle is finished with a circular graining, resembling the refined finishes that are also done on its calibre.
Heritage
Born out of a challenge
In 1930, businessman César de Trey was challenged to find a way to protect the glass of a watch for polo players during matches. de Trey’s idea was inspired; a case that could be flipped over. He approached his friend Jacques-David LeCoultre to produce the watch and the pair engaged René-Alfred Chauvot to design it. And so the Reverso watch was born.
Made in our Manufacture
From its calibre to its case, every Jaeger‑LeCoultre luxury watch is designed, manufactured and assembled under one roof, at our Manufacture in the Vallee de Joux. Our obsession with quality is renowned as every Jaeger‑LeCoultre model undergoes strict “1,000 Hour Control” testing. This unique program provides internal certification tests that far exceed official chronometry tests.
It includes movement testing before and after casing and extends throughout assembly, according to conditions that match daily wear. A quality seal is engraved on the back of every watch once it meets our strict standards.
