The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso—a watch born for polo—stands as a unique exception; it exudes such elegance that one might hardly imagine it was originally crafted for the rough-and-tumble of a polo match. The collection’s shock-resistant design stems from its iconic reversible case: during a game, the wearer could flip the relatively fragile dial inward to expose the solid metal caseback, thereby shielding the crystal from impact. Today, the Reverso collection has expanded to include a wide array of styles. Some models honor history by retaining a blank caseback (offering opportunities for personalization), while others feature complex complications or rare artistic crafts.
Case materials have also become more diverse; for instance, the new single-sided Reverso model shown on the right—which inherits the classic spirit and proportions of the original 1931 timepiece (pictured on the left)—is crafted entirely from 18K rose gold. Its Milanese mesh bracelet serves as a striking highlight, imbuing the watch with a blend of modern style, vintage charm, and elegance. Inside, it houses the manual-winding Calibre 822—designed, manufactured, decorated, and assembled entirely within the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture—offering a 42-hour power reserve when fully wound.
