Alongside the Cartier Tank, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso's rectangular silhouette remains one of the most distinctive case shapes in watchmaking. Blending sophistication with ingenious functional design, the Reverso has stood as Jaeger-LeCoultre's flagship model since its 1930s debut.
Launched in 2013, this stainless steel Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Duoface showcases the dual time zone complication that exemplifies the model's versatility. One side displays elegant small seconds and a clean white dial with handsome black indices and hands - perfect for daytime elegance. The reverse reveals a guilloché black dial exuding evening flair. SuperLuminova-filled sword hands aid nighttime legibility, complemented by a day/night indicator.
The Duoface ingeniously houses two distinct timepieces within one singular shape. Granting its wearer versatility, the two stylish dials can complement outfits or suit the mood of the day. This epitomizes the enduring ingenuity that positioned the Reverso as an icon of reversible form and function. With two faces, yet one iconic identity, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues demonstrating the timelessness of the Reverso concept.

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.
