Reverso Tribute Calendar Pink Gold / Silver / Alligator

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 Reverso Tribute Calendar watch, introduced at SIHH 2016, provides a perfectly balanced representation of the Manufacture’s expertise. On one side it displays a traditional function, a complete calendar, and on the other the exclusive Reverso Duo function. The graphic narrative on the front exudes intense sophistication epitomised in the hammered moon-phase display. This captivating moonphase is echoed in perfect symmetry on the back with an opulently staged day/night indicator. It is topped with a tiny triangle enabling easy reading. Anthracite predominates on the guilloché dial with its “clous de Paris” hobnail finish, making a perfect match with the elegant pink gold of the case. Connoisseurs are bound to single out this Reverso Tribute Calendar watch driven by Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 853. The case of the Reverso Tribute Calendar measures 49.4x29.9mm.
