The Reverso is one of the most renowned and respected line of dress watches from Jaeger LeCoultre. It is a double-sided watch with a creative design and idea, the cradled case is mounted on a base and is simply pulled out and rotated to view both faces of the watch. The history and lineage continue as now Jaeger LeCoultre has just released the new 2022 models of the Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar with new finishings and strap designs by the renowned Argentinian bootmakers Casa Fagliano. The two models are made in pink gold and in stainless steel.
The triple calendar and the Duoface, which displays two time zones on distinct Reverso faces and is powered by a single movement calibre, are two classic Jaeger-LeCoultre complications combined in the Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar. On the watch’s recto-grained dial, the triple calendar, which displays the day, date, and month, is prominently displayed. A moon-phase display at 6 o’clock further enhances these indications. The sunray effect on the dial works in tandem with silvered toned highlights and the polished hands on both the faces of the watch, and exude a radiant warm tone in the gold model. It adds an even more splendorous effect, creating a spectacle of appealing contrasting elements and the new hour markers only add to the overall effect. The day-night indicator has been placed behind the hour-and-minute counter at the 6 o’clock position.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar has a distinct trademark rectangular casing sized at 49.4mm x 29.9mm, in stainless steel and pink gold. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house calibre 853 powers the watch, a manual wind movement specifically designed to match Reverso’s unique rectangular case profile. The movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz ) and offers a power reserve of 42 hours.
The two models comes on Casa Fagliano’s designed calf-leather straps with deep blue for the steel model and brown for the pink-gold model. The steel model enjoys the matching deployant buckle while the pink-gold version has a classic pin buckle. An additional bi-material strap in leather and fabric is also part of the package.
