With the unveiling of the Reverso Tribute Geographic, Jaeger-LeCoultre breathes new life into one of horology’s most iconic silhouettes. Powered by the newly developed in-house Calibre 834, this latest Reverso celebrates travel, craftsmanship, and innovation with a world time display set elegantly into its famed swivelling case. Available in steel and a limited edition of 150 pieces in 18k pink gold, the timepiece captures both the spirit of exploration and the House’s nine-decade legacy of mechanical ingenuity.
A horological icon since its invention in 1931, the Reverso was initially created to endure the rigours of polo. Over the years, it has evolved from a sporting companion into a canvas for artistry and technical sophistication. With the Reverso Tribute Geographic, that journey continues. On one side, a classically refined sunray dial in blue (for steel) or chocolate (for pink gold) reveals hours, minutes, small seconds, and a patented Grande Date display. Flip the case, and the reverse reveals a masterful world time complication—24 global time zones rendered in rich visual detail.
Engineered entirely in-house, Calibre 834 showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dedication to innovation. Instead of rotating the city disc, as with most world timers, the Manufacture has reversed the logic: a static city ring frames a rotating 24-hour disc, improving legibility and adding dynamic elegance. The tactile pusher, hidden between the lugs, enables a precise one-hour jump, while the complex rectangular calibre is carefully shaped to fit the contours of the Reverso’s Art Deco case—an aesthetic and technical triumph.
Equally captivating is the world map on the reverse dial. Crafted from a steel disc, the oceans are laser-engraved and filled with hand-applied lacquer, offering a play of texture and light that evokes the quiet motion of tides. The multi-layered construction enhances depth, drawing the eye into a miniature world powered by craftsmanship and imagination.
This refined duality is completed by two Casa Fagliano-designed straps—canvas-and-leather and full calfskin for the steel model, and golden tan and black alligator for the pink gold edition. These thoughtful combinations reflect the balance between tradition and innovation, ruggedness and elegance, for which the Reverso is celebrated.
To mark the 90th anniversary of the Reverso, Jaeger-LeCoultre also introduces The Nonantieme Collector’s Box, designed to hold six limited-edition Reverso models. This handcrafted case is a tribute to the evolution of a timepiece that has defied convention for nearly a century.
The Reverso Tribute Geographic is more than a timekeeper—it is a passport through time and space, a celebration of design, and a testament to the enduring modernity of the Reverso.
