First introduced in 1931, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso remains one of the most recognizable watch designs in horology. Its reversible case was created at the request of polo players seeking to protect their watches during play, allowing the case to flip and shield the crystal from impact.
Over time, this functional innovation evolved to include models featuring a second dial on the reverse, highlighting the versatility of the design.
Released in 2000 as a limited edition of 500 pieces in 18K pink gold, the present Reverso features a dual-dial perpetual calendar. The primary dial displays the hours, minutes, small seconds, day/night, and leap year indications, while the reverse side reveals a retrograde date, moon phases, and French day and month indications. The watch combines Jaeger-LeCoultre’s technical expertise with refined guilloché craftsmanship.
