Jaeger-LeCoultre Expands Reverso Collection with New Tribute Models
Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to expand the iconic Reverso collection, showcasing new models that underscore the timeless appeal of its Art Deco design. The brand introduces new variations, including the Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon, Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds, and a fresh version of the Reverso Tribute Monoface in a new size.
The Reverso Tribute Monoface returns in a new size
Since its creation in 1931, the Reverso has become one of the most recognizable wristwatches in the world. Originally designed to withstand the rigors of polo matches, the Reverso soon transcended its sporting purpose. Throughout its nine-decade history, the Reverso has evolved with new proportions and dial styles. The launch of the Reverso Tribute line in 2016, coinciding with the Reverso’s 85th anniversary, celebrated the original 1931 model’s stylistic codes, such as the trapezoidal indexes, chemin de fer minute tracks, and Dauphine hands that define the line.

The blank metal caseback allows for personal engravings or custom lacquer design
This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces the Reverso Tribute Monoface in a case size reminiscent of the 1931 original, measuring 40.1 × 24.4mm with a slim 7.56mm profile. The Monoface offers a blank metal case-back but now serves as a canvas for personal engravings and creative expressions. Powered by the manually wound Calibre 822, this watch is available in a steel case with a choice of silver opaline or blue sunray lacquer dials. Complemented by a strap designed exclusively for the Reverso by Casa Fagliano, it features smooth and saffiano calfskin for a refined yet casual look. Additionally, four more strap colors are available, and Jaeger-LeCoultre’s interchangeable system allows wearers to switch styles with ease.
The Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon is now in steel
The Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon, initially introduced in 2023 in 18K pink gold, now arrives in a sleek steel case.
The outer tourbillon cage is replaced with a peripheral ball-bearing system. With the inclusion of JLC's patented S-shaped hairspring, the spring and balance wheel can be fixed at the centre of the tourbillon, resulting in a thickness at just 3.9mm for the Calibre 847
The reverse dial, which displays the second time zone, is partially open-worked, showing off hand-bevelled bridges and hand-guilloché Clous de Paris surface
This timepiece builds on the Reverso Duoface concept — first developed in 1994 — that allows two contrasting dials to display different time zones powered by a single mechanism. The Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon incorporates a visible tourbillon on both dials without adding thickness to the case. The watch houses the ultra-slim Calibre 847, at 3.9mm thick, resulting in a total case thickness of just 9.15mm. The reverse dial shows off an open-worked design and hand-guilloché Clous de Paris decoration.
The Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds is refreshed in pink gold
The Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds, now housed in an 18K pink gold case, presents a dramatic contrast between its deep blue lacquered front dial and a refined silver reverse dial. The front dial, featuring rich inky blue lacquer applied in 20 layered coats, offers a vivid contrast against the warmth of the gold case. The reverse dial, with its double indexes and 24-hour day-night indicator, displays the second time zone.
The deep, inky blue color for the lacquered dial was achieved in no fewer than 20 layers, each of which had to be dried before applying the next. In all, creation of the dial was a process of 50 steps
The reverse dial is in silver with a sunray finish, displaying a 24-hour (night-day) display
Like all Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, the movements in these Reverso models have been shaped to conform to the rectangular cases. The hand-finishing of components, such as hand-beveled edges, highlights the brand’s commitment to fine craftsmanship, particularly in its Métiers Rares atelier.
