Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Classic Watches
The Reverso Classic, the entry point into the Reverso world
The Reverso Classic carries forward the founding principle of 1931: a rectangular case that flips 180° within its carrure, originally designed to protect the crystal during polo matches played by British officers in India. At Auberi, this line is the most accessible entry point into the Reverso family, with simpler execution than the Reverso Tribute but the same instantly recognisable Art Deco silhouette.
Reverso Classic: how to choose your reference?
- First Reverso purchase, controlled budget → Reverso Classic
- Personalised case back (engraving, secondary dial) → all reversible-case Reverso models
- Leather strap for a dressier look → see Jaeger-LeCoultre Leather Strap Watches
The Auberi view: the Reverso Classic is often the first manufacture piece chosen by our Nice and Monaco clientele, ahead of a Master Control or a higher-end Reverso Tribute.
