When thinking of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the first thing that comes to mind is thin, elegant, and fancy watches with its iconic reversible case. Today they bring back a slim and elegant tourbillion model, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Tourbillon Duoface. This new timepiece is a celebratory watch to celebrate its 185 year anniversary. This watch has an entirely new design, concept, and movement. This Reverso is equipped with a new manually-wound calibre and is exclusive to very limited pieces.
Many of the complex Reverso watches Jaeger-LeCoultre has released have been rather bulky and thick. On the other hand, this new timepiece is all about elegance and slimness. The 950 platinum case measures at 45.5mm x 27.4mm with Art Deco styles and grooves.
As JLC has always produced fancied double-dialed watches, it is to no surprise that this Reverso tourbillion has two faces. The first dial shows a classic sun-ray brushed blue dial with Dauphine hands and applied indices. The second dial is more technical, with a view of the tourbillion bridge. It displays the movement with on top a silvered grained dial for the independent second time-zone and the night-and-day indicator. The seconds are engraved on the tourbillon cage and pointed by an arrow on the tourbillon bridge as the tourbillion moves counter-clockwise.
To sum up this beautiful tourbillion, the main dial displays hours and minutes and the seconds on the tourbillion. A second time-zone and an indication of the day-and-night on its other dial. This JLC Reverso tourbillion is worn on a well matches blue alligator strap. It will be produced in 50 pieces only and priced at USD 123,000.
