Catalogue Essay
To celebrate the brand’s 185th birthday in 2018, Jaeger-LeCoultre released a stunning limited edition Reverso Tribute Tourbillon Duoface in platinum. Only 50 pieces were made for the occasion. The present reference is a unique vision of the maison’s iconic Reverso model, bringing together the flying tourbillon with the Duoface concept, two techniques that represent absolute sophistication.
The design of the Reverso Tribute Tourbillon Duoface has been completely revamped, resulting in an entirely new layout so that all the various components can fit into a platinum case measuring a mere 9.15 mm. The result is two hand-fittings in a single movement brought together with a grand complication, a challenge that remains formidable to achieve.
Equipped with the manually wound cal. 847, this impressive timepiece is a show of exclusivity down to the very few number of models produced, each representing a pure expression of unique watchmaking expertise. Designed with stylistic codes borrowed from Art Deco—the same that have characterised the legendary Reverso ever since its creation in 1931—this new opus pays homage to the original models with an impeccable level of respect.
The present example is numbered 50 and offered in excellent condition, further accompanied by its guarantee and presentation box.

Jaeger-LeCoultre
Swiss | 1833Not all companies in the watchmaking field have been able to stand the test of time quite like Jaeger LeCoultre, also known as the "watchmaker's watchmaker." Founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre and originally named LeCoutre, the firm provided watchmaking's top brands, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, the high-grade, unfinished mechanical movements with which they completed their watches.
In the early 1900s, Cartier's watch supplier Edmond Jaeger sought out LeCoultre's help in creating the world's thinnest watches. The collaboration resulted in the creation of Cartier's earliest Tank and Santos watches, all housed with LeCoultre movements. The duo decided to merge in 1937, and the firm officially became the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand by which collectors know and adore it today. Some of the firm's most significant and important timepieces include the Reverso, the Memovox, the Atmos clock and, among modern watches, their Master Complications.
