JAEGER-LECOULTRE SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON RARE HANDCRAFTS™ (MÉTIERS RARES®)
WITH FOUR EXCEPTIONAL REVERSO ONE TIMEPIECES

For 2021 the Maison introduces four sparkling new Reverso One models that unite the codes of fine watchmaking, artistic crafts and High Jewellery to bring fresh colour, sophistication and glamour to the collection. The creation of these exquisite timepieces has brought together multiple artistic crafts – enamelling, engraving and gem-setting work – in a remarkable collaboration between highly skilled artisans who are at the peak of their powers.
JAEGER-LECOULTRE PRESENTS
THE REVERSO TRIBUTE SMALL SECONDS IN GREEN
When the Reverso was created in 1931, the Manufacture immediately recognised the design’s wide appeal beyond the sporting arena for which it was originally conceived and, within the first year, began to offer colourful variations on the original black dial. In chocolate brown, red, burgundy or blue, the lacquered dials created a stylish and exuberant contrast with the case metal and – at a time when coloured dials were rare in watchmaking – made the Reverso appear even more modern and distinctive.
