More than just a watch, the Reverso is an icon in the true sense of the word. And like all icons, it is truly timeless. To celebrate the 90th<\/sup> anniversary of this legend born in 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre is releasing an extremely rare and elegant limited edition of the piece and publishing a book that any aficionado will want to have on their bookshelves.<\/h4>\n

Does the Reverso still really need any introduction? Well, yes, if only for the fun of it. Created in 1931, at the height of the Art Deco period, the Reverso was developed in response to the challenge of designing a wristwatch that could withstand the rigours of polo matches. Hence its reversible case, which meant it could be worn at will and protected from knocks. Many newcomers have tried to copy it over the course of the past 90 years, to imitate its shape and its proportions, as dictated by its golden hour markers and its ingenious design. But there is only one Reverso. Well, several, actually, as Jaeger-LeCoultre has had the foresight and skill to constantly reinvent it and to create a seemingly infinite number of men\u2019s and ladies\u2019 versions of the piece without ever compromising its identity. These have notably included the Duoface line, which abandons the full metal flip side to instead include a second dial displaying a second time zone. And so we come to 2021 and the Reverso Tribute Duoface Fagliano, a limited anniversary edition of 190 pieces with a pink gold case.<\/p>\n
