Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large Small Seconds

About This Watch

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large Small Seconds is a quintessential dress watch that traces its lineage to 1931, when the Reverso was invented to protect the crystal of polo players' watches during matches. The iconic swiveling case remains one of the most distinctive and ingenious designs in watchmaking history. Powered by the manually wound caliber 822/A, this model features a refined silver dial with applied hour markers and a small seconds sub-dial at six o'clock. The rectangular case measures 45.6mm in height and maintains the slender 8.5mm thickness that makes the Reverso such an elegant companion on the wrist. The ability to flip the case over reveals a solid steel caseback that can be engraved with personal inscriptions, monograms, or artwork — a tradition that has made the Reverso a deeply personal timepiece for generations of owners. The hand-wound movement connects the wearer to the ritual of daily winding, a meditative practice that many collectors cherish. For those seeking a watch that embodies Art Deco design principles with genuine horological heritage, the Reverso Classic Large Small Seconds represents one of the finest propositions in the luxury watch market.
