Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces an exquisite new version of the Reverso Tribute Chronograph, reimagined entirely in pink gold. This latest limited-edition piece elevates the iconic watch series with luxurious materials and a contemporary dial design, honoring the brand’s legacy of elegance and technical mastery.
A Classic Reinvented: The Reverso Tribute Chronograph
Originally designed in 1931 for polo players, the Reverso series swiftly gained popularity for its stylish Art Deco-inspired design and durable swivel case. Since then, the Reverso has evolved, maintaining its iconic style while integrating sophisticated advancements. The latest Reverso Tribute Chronograph not only reflects this heritage but enhances it, making it a timepiece sought after by watch enthusiasts worldwide.
Crafted in solid 18k pink gold, the case of the new Reverso Tribute Chronograph exudes elegance. The dial, bridges, indexes, and even the buckle are made entirely of pink gold, creating a harmonious aesthetic. This luxury chronograph is a limited edition with only 250 pieces produced, marking it as an exclusive addition to any collector’s repertoire.
Design Excellence: Aesthetic Beauty Meets Technical Innovation
The Reverso Tribute Chronograph introduces a refined decorative touch on the front dial. Its engraved pink gold surface features delicate horizontal lines, a new design element that accentuates the Reverso’s signature rectilinear Art Deco geometry. Complemented by applied trapezoid indexes, Dauphine hands, and a chemin de fer minute track highlighted in black, the dial radiates elegance.
Turning the watch reveals an open-worked reverse side that showcases the complexity of Calibre 860, the heart of this masterpiece. The pink gold bridges are meticulously hand-beveled with vertical Côtes de Genève decoration, creating a striking contrast against the black-highlighted chronograph counters. The blued screws and hands add an extra layer of visual interest, emphasizing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to both craftsmanship and beauty.
Calibre 860: A Modern Chronograph Engine
The Reverso Tribute Chronograph is powered by Calibre 860, an advanced manually wound chronograph movement. Originally inspired by the revolutionary Reverso Chronograph Retrograde of 1996, this calibre embodies Jaeger-LeCoultre’s technical expertise. The 860 movement powers two sets of hands, providing dual-time displays on the front and reverse dials. Its 52-hour power reserve ensures reliability, while its 11.14 mm thickness maintains the Reverso’s refined proportions.
This in-house calibre, featuring a column wheel chronograph with a horizontal clutch, reflects Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy that each movement should be designed to suit its case. A true engineering feat, Calibre 860 contains over 300 components yet retains a svelte profile, showcasing the brand’s dedication to sophistication and functionality.
Luxurious Straps from the Fagliano Collection
The Reverso Tribute Chronograph offers versatility with two distinctive straps from the Fagliano Collection. A tan calf leather strap crafted by renowned Argentinian polo bootmaker Casa Fagliano pays homage to the watch’s polo heritage. An additional black alligator strap provides a classic alternative, allowing wearers to effortlessly switch between a sporty and formal look with the Presto quick-release system.
