Reverso Classic Medium Stainless Steel / Silver

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.

The back of the Reverso Classic timepiece available in steel and in three different sizes provides the perfect space on which to give free rein to the imagination, such as through an engraving. One simple movement enables it to reveal what individuals wish to say about themselves, unless of course they prefer to keep it discreetly hidden inside the carrier. Launched at SIHH 2016. Case size 40.1x24.4mm.
