Reaffirming Jaeger-LeCoultre’s mastery of fine watchmaking and rare handcraft techniques, these boldly feminine interpretations of the Reverso are jewels to be worn by all special women in celebration of Mother’s Day. In two colour variations, these novelties feature a richly decorated case that pays direct tribute to Art Deco’s geometric style.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso One Precious Colours

INSPIRED BY ITS GEOMETRIC SPIRIT

Art Deco brought about an elegance that emphasized clean and strong lines as an organizing principle. It is this design language that the talented artisans of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house Métiers Rares® atelier have translated for the Reverso One Precious Colours, creating a geometric pattern that covers the entire case-back and wraps around the case sides to frame the dial.

MODERN GEOMETRIC PATTERN

The Art Deco-inspired geometric pattern on the verso of the timepiece is executed in miniature-painted grand feu enamel with diamond-set accents, creating an optical illusion of depth and movement.

MOTHER-OF-PEARL DIAL

With the front dial facing outwards, the Reverso One Precious Colours has a rich and elegant presence, its white mother-of-pearl dial contrasting with the vivid colours of its enamelled frame and the sparkle of the diamond-set gadroons and lugs.

THE BEAUTY OF ONE

The dial is finely detailed with the narrow gold brackets in each corner, the applied numerals and the Dauphine hands that are signatures of all Reverso One jewellery models. The watch is fastened to the wrist by a shiny alligator strap, colour-matched to the case decoration.

With the Reverso One Precious Colours, we have reaffirmed our expertise in decorative crafts and fine jewellery techniques, while also showcasing our ability to seamlessly merge art deco inspiration and modernity.

IN-HOUSE ENAMELLING AND GEM-SETTING EXPERTISE

A HIGH-WATCHMAKING HEART

Concealed within the case, the movement that powers the Reverso One Precious Colours is a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to mechanical excellence. Developed and produced entirely within the Manufacture, the hand-wound Calibre 846 was created specifically for the Reverso and, in keeping with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy of product integrity, is shaped to follow the contours of the rectangular case.

THE BIRTH OF AN ICON

In 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched a timepiece that was destined to become a classic of 20th-century design: the Reverso. As an object that so deftly synthesized form and function, it has become one of the most recognizable watches of all time, looking as fresh and modern today as when it first appeared.

While its blank metal flip side had begun as a purely functional solution to avoid damage to the dial, it was an ideal surface for personalization with monograms, emblems or personal messages using lacquer or engraving.
