As the big-wig get-together at Watches and Wonders 2025 rolled around, Jaeger-LeCoultre once more laid its stall out. They’ve plumped for a return to their celebrated Reverso line, tarting up the Tribute Small Seconds in both its solitary and dual-faced iterations alongside the debut of a brand spanking-new Tribute Geographic.
Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds Q713216J
It steps into the limelight encased in 27.4mm x 7.56mm x 45.6mm 18-karat pink gold. The dial, swathed in a grained pink gold finish, presents a rather fetching texture. Inside its metallic carapace ticks the JLC caliber 822, a manually wound engine with a respectable 42-hour power delivery. This gilded ticker is affixed to a matching 18-karat pink gold Milanese bracelet, complete with a sliding clasp. Priced at $41,300, this iteration isn’t a limited run and is seemingly here to stay.
Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Q398847J and Q3988481
Both sport a 28.3mm x 47mm x 10.34mm steel case. The Q398847J presents a stark contrast with a black “local” time dial and a silver “home” time dial, the latter also features a 24-hour indicator to keep those transatlantic calls on the straight and narrow.
The Q3988481 mirrors this setup but opts for a blue “local” time dial. Both share the silver “home” time dial. Encased within beats the JLC caliber 854, a hand-cranked movement providing a 42-hour reserve. These dual-personality timepieces come paired with a brace of color coordinated straps crafted by Casa Fagliano and an interchangeable double folding clasp. Both the black and blue variants carry a starting price of $13,700 and are not limited editions.
Reverso Tribute Geographic Q714845J and Q714256J
The steel version is tagged Q714845J, and the pink gold Q714256J is in 29.9mm x 49.4mm x 11.14mm size. The steel variant features a blue sunburst dial with applied indices and a big date display, and the pink gold limited edition (capped at 150 pieces) sports a brown counterpart. Flip the case, and you’ll find a laser-engraved world map, hand-lacquered oceans, and a rotating 24-hour ring underneath a transparent window.
This globetrotting gizmo has the in-house Calibre 834, a manually wound engine offering a 42-hour power reserve. The steel model is strapped with blue canvas and calfskin options, priced at $21,200, while the pink gold comes with tan calf leather and black alligator straps, commanding a $34,900 price tag. The steel version is currently available.
