Catalogue Essay
In a horological landscape where creativity often leans toward spectacle, the question arises: what defines a truly personal collection? For those who value discretion over display, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Platinum Tourbillon offers a quiet yet profound statement.
Encased in platinum, the watch features the iconic reversible case with clean, geometric lines. Flip it over, and a modern, skeletonised tourbillon movement is revealed. It is elevated by the use of blue spinels in place of traditional rubies. This subtle yet striking choice, paired with matching blue hands, creates a visually harmonious and refined aesthetic.
The present example is numbered 2 of a limited edition of just 35 pieces, accompanied by its original certificate. Preserved in untouched condition for over 20 years, it remains a true treasure as an embodiment of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legacy and the art of understated excellence.

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.
