Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds

Jaeger-LeCoultre is redefining timeless elegance with the new Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds. Featuring an 18K pink gold case, a finely grained golden dial, and a sophisticated Milanese link bracelet, this latest addition to the Reverso collection seamlessly blends vintage charm with contemporary refinement. Embodying the Art Deco aesthetics that have defined the Reverso since its introduction in 1931, this model continues the legacy of one of the world’s most iconic watches.  

Originally designed to withstand the rigors of polo matches, the Reverso quickly transcended its sporting origins, captivating watch enthusiasts with its distinctive rectangular case and reversible design. Over the decades, Jaeger-LeCoultre has continuously evolved the model, introducing new materials, complications, and design elements while preserving its unmistakable identity. The Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds remains faithful to this heritage, offering a refined interpretation that highlights the versatility and sophistication of the collection. 

A key feature of this new model is its Milanese link bracelet, crafted from 18K pink gold. Originally developed in 13th-century Milan as chain mail, this intricate weaving technique later became a hallmark of fine jewelry before making its way into watchmaking. Known for its smooth texture, flexibility, and durability, the Milanese bracelet enhances the Reverso’s elegance while ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist. The attachment has been subtly modified to create a seamless integration with the case, reinforcing the watch’s streamlined aesthetic. 

Complementing the bracelet is the grained golden dial, designed to harmonize with the warm tones of the pink gold case. Its minimalist design echoes the original 1931 Reverso, with faceted hour markers replacing numerals and sleek Dauphine hands adding a refined touch. Positioned at six o’clock, the small seconds subdial introduces a subtle contrast to the watch’s otherwise linear composition. 

Inside the slim 7.56 mm case, the manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 822 is driving the timekeeping functions with precision. Designed and produced entirely in-house, this movement is tailored to the Reverso’s rectangular case shape, offering a 42-hour power reserve. The solid caseback, a signature feature of the Monoface design, enhances the watch’s jewelry-like appeal and can be personalized with engraving or lacquered decoration. 

With its meticulous craftsmanship and harmonious design, the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds exemplifies the timeless adaptability of the Reverso, seamlessly bridging the past and present. This exquisite timepiece is a tribute to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmaking mastery, reaffirming the Reverso’s status as an enduring icon of elegance.
