Creative in design. Unique in spirit. The creation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is a legendary tale of inventing a solution, being ahead of the times, and bridging the invisible gap between what is possible and what is dreamt.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso — The Swiveling Art Deco Wonder
Of all the most meaningful inventions that exist, the ones that remove obstacles and ease one’s plight are the best kind.
Created in the early 1930s for the British Army officers in India, the Reverso was birthed as a solution to weather polo matches. As mallet strokes could break a watch’s glass in the field, this new ingenious design came with a case that could be flipped in order to safeguard the dial and crystal. So, while one side of the original Reverso was a fine dress watch with a grand dial to tell time, the other side was in plain metal, void of any adornment and perfectly capable of withstanding the rigors of matches.
First made for the officers in India and now made for the world. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watch has successfully preserved its distinctive appeal over the years by taking the fancy of men and women through varied interpretations and innovations. Today, the timepiece is available in many models such as Reverso Classic, Reverso One, Reverso Tribute, and so on. The reverse side also did evolve. It now acts as a blank canvas, giving way to special faces and offering the wearer the joy of two beautiful sides, each one as incredible as the other.
The watch that was born out of a challenge now defines a legacy of splendor for a brand that moves the watchmaking world from the heart of the Vallée de Joux.
