Reverso Répétition Minutes à Rideau

The Reverso was created in 1931 by René-Alfred Chauvot for polo players who needed a watch that could survive the impact of mallets and balls. The solution was elegant: a case that swivels within its cradle to present either the dial or a solid metal back. What began as a practical sports watch became one of the most distinctive case designs in watchmaking and Jaeger-LeCoultre's most recognised model. The reversible case has since been used as a canvas for enamel art, dual time zones, and even triple-calendar complications on the hidden face. No other watch case design has proven so versatile over so long a period — ninety years and the Reverso remains as relevant as the day it was drawn.
