REVERSO TRIBUTE
MINUTE REPEATER

01 NEW LIMITED EDITION

UNFOLD THE CHIMING STORY

The new timepiece is distinguished by dials on both the front and reverse sides, bringing a fresh visual expression to the timeless Reverso design, as well as to the minute repeater mechanism itself. While the dials both display the same time, they are very different in character – one exuberant, the other more sober. Both are a testament to the beauty of fine movement decoration and the exceptional level of craftsmanship that resides within the Manufacture.

02 REVERSO TRIBUTE COLLECTION

THE SWIVELLING SIGNATURE

With its distinctive Art Deco lines and swivelling case, the Reverso is one of the world’s most recognisable wristwatches. Its story embodies Jaeger-LeCoultre’s eternal pursuit of beauty and aesthetic refinement, expanding the Reverso’s stylistic realm by harnessing the full potential of its unique design. Allied to this is the Manufacture’s endlessly inventive quest for technical advancement – from the revolutionary idea of a case that could be flipped over, and the ingenious mechanism that made it possible, to the development of complications specific to the Reverso.

03 THE DESIGN

BEAUTY LIES IN THE DETAILS

While the exuberance of the front dial contrasts with the rectilinear geometry of the Reverso case, the relative sobriety of the reverse dial echoes and amplifies those straight lines.

04 THE HISTORY

TIMELESS STORIES SINCE 1931

Ninety years ago, Jaeger-LeCoultre created the Reverso, an ingenious solution for polo players who wished to protect the glass of their watches while playing matches. With its swivelling case and distinctive Art Deco lines, it became a classic of 20th-century design.
Reverso has continually reinvented itself without ever compromising its identity: it has housed more than 50 different calibres, while its blank metal flip side has become a canvas for creative expression, decorated with enamel or engravings. Today, 90 years after the Reverso was born, it continues to epitomise the spirit of modernity that inspired its creation.

THE STORY OF COMPLICATIONS

1991 marked the start for complicated timepieces within Reverso. Providing the perfect canvas to develop new rectangular complications, the Manufacture created six new Reverso models within that decade, each incorporating one of the great classical complications. The Reverso thus became a realm of innovation, perpetuating the pioneer spirit of Antoine LeCoultre.
The first complicated Reverso was the Reverso Soixantième, celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of Reverso.

THE FIRST MINUTE REPEATER WRISTWATCH BY THE GRANDE MAISON

Drawing on its unparalleled heritage in chiming watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre developed its first modern minute repeater for the Reverso. Comprising 306 parts, the manually wound Calibre 943 met a double challenge: first, to adapt the striking mechanism to conform to the rectangular shape of the Reverso and second, to miniaturise the complication for a wristwatch movement while delivering a clearly audible chime.
For this Reverso, a solid 18-carat gold back was chosen over sapphire, due to its superior sound transmission qualities. The rectilinear case design is complemented by the repeater activation slide integrated into its side.

05 THE SPIRIT

In showcasing both technical complexity and the aesthetic crafts, the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater underlines the eternal modernity of the Reverso design, marrying the technical prowess of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre to its eternal quest for new forms of visual expression. Set into the side of the watch case, the slider that activates the chimes has been specially designed for the new Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater to be as slim as possible, without sacrificing ergonomics. Visually complementing the Art Deco lines of the case, the effect is one of great refinement.

COMPLEX YET ELEGANT

CHIMING SPECTACLE

The front dial is entirely skeletonised, revealing the full complexity of the repeater mechanism and presenting a mesmerising display of moving parts when the repeater is activated. Beneath a large bow-shaped bridge that sweeps from 11 o’clock to 7 o’clock, the components appear almost to be floating in three dimensions, the sense of visual depth and transparency enhanced by faceted indexes that are cantilevered from the chemin de fer minutes track. With a gleaming golden finish, the bridge, hour markers, gongs and several other components perfectly match the colour of the rose-gold watch case.

WATCHMAKING REFINEMENT

The verso contrats and offers a relative sobriety. Vertical Côtes de Genève stripes extend over the entire height of the main plate, which also serves as the dial. Showcasing the timekeeping mechanism, with subtle colour accents provided by blued screws and golden hands and hour markers, the cool silver tone of the metal provides an elegant counterpoint to the warm rose gold of the case.

06 THE CALIBRE

THE SOUND OF THE VALLEY

Embodying technical advances such as Jaeger-LeCoultre’s patented trebuchet hammers, silent regulator and a new generation of gongs, the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater is powered by the Calibre 944 – a movement entirely conceived, designed and produced within the Manufacture.

07 HARMONIC GONGS

THE PERFECT TUNING OF NOTES

Jaeger-LeCoultre was a pioneer in the tuning of gongs by refining the thickness of each gong rather than its length. Producing the most melodic tunes, this new generation of harmonic gongs continues the long list of innovations and patents that makes Jaeger-LeCoultre the Sound Maker.
