Over the decades, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso collection has transcended its initial role to become a true canvas of creativity, encompassing more than fifty calibers – from traditional movements to spectacular complications, as well as sublime jewelry versions or engraved artistic editions. This exceptional diversity is reflected in the entire Jaeger-LeCoultre range we offer. Today, the Tribute renews this heritage by magnifying the codes of the original while adding a touch of modernity sought after by discerning enthusiasts. Thanks to the continuous innovation of our Manufacture, each Tribute model belongs to the lineage of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s great icons, celebrating the perfect fusion of watchmaking tradition and contemporary excellence.

We are proud to present the Reverso Tribute within our selection, sharing with our passionate clientele the richness of this timeless saga. Each timepiece becomes the witness of a story, a savoir-faire, and a spirit of innovation that define the soul of our Maison and the standards of our services on the Côte d’Azur.

The History of the Reverso: A Watch Born from a Challenge

From the outset, polo players in Great Britain faced a simple problem: how to protect their watches from shocks and accidents inherent to the sport? Finding a wristwatch capable of withstanding such constraints was therefore the challenge Jaeger-LeCoultre set out to solve. In 1931, the watchmaker delivered the solution with the invention of a reversible case, able to rotate 180° to protect the glass, hence the name “Reverso,” derived from the Latin “I turn around.”

Over the decades, the Manufacture enriched this model with major innovations while preserving the harmony of the rectangle and the horizontal gadroons. Today, the Reverso collection has established itself as an essential icon of watchmaking, evolving without ever losing its identity or refinement.

The Tribute Collection: Vintage Spirit Revisited

Introduced in 2016 for the 85th anniversary of the line, the Reverso Tribute faithfully reinterprets the codes of the 1931 original: dauphine hands, peripheral railway track, deep dials, and noble materials. This respectful approach to heritage can also be found in the Reverso Classic, which continues the timeless elegance of the first generation. This specific line is available in Monoface or Duoface versions, now welcoming sophisticated complications such as the chronograph, the annual calendar, or the tourbillon.

The Reverso Tribute within the Reverso Universe

While the Tribute embodies the purist and vintage spirit of the collection, other variations enrich the Reverso range. The Reverso One represents the ultimate feminine interpretation, with elegant proportions and refined finishes specifically designed for the female wrist. This diversity allows every enthusiast to find the model that perfectly matches their expectations, whether it is a man seeking a bold watch or a woman wishing to combine elegance and technical mastery.

The Tribute collection particularly stands out within the Jaeger-LeCoultre men’s selection, offering generous dimensions and technical complications that appeal to connoisseurs. At the same time, certain Tribute models with more contained dimensions also find their place in the Jaeger-LeCoultre women’s selection, demonstrating the versatility of this emblematic line.

Technical Features of the Reverso Tribute

Here are some of the most notable models:

  • Tribute Monoface 2024: Steel case 40.1 × 24.4 mm, thickness 7.56 mm, mechanical hand-wound caliber 822 (42-hour power reserve), 3-bar water resistance, interchangeable leather strap.

Most models are water-resistant to 30 meters and equipped with anti-reflective sapphire glass. The hand-wound movement, a signature of the Maison, ensures both performance and endurance within an exquisitely refined case.

The Excellence of Jaeger-LeCoultre Beyond the Reverso

While the Reverso Tribute represents the very essence of the Manufacture’s know-how, it is worth noting that Jaeger-LeCoultre also excels in other prestigious collections. The Master range embodies classical round watchmaking with models such as the Master Control and the Master Ultra Thin, showcasing the Maison’s technical mastery in different styles. For sports watch lovers, the Polaris collection offers a modern and dynamic alternative, while the Rendez-Vous line seduces with its sophisticated feminine elegance.
