Description

The present watch is the Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Nonantième, a dual‑faced complication that celebrates 90 years of the Reverso with poetic display and Art Deco elegance. Cased in 18‑carat pink gold at 49.4 × 29.9 × 11.72 mm, it pairs the line’s iconic geometry with two distinct horological canvases—one classic, one avant‑garde.

• Front side

A silvered dial with applied markers and dauphine hands anchors the Tribute aesthetic.

Complications include a large date (“Grande Date”) at 12, a moon‑phase and small‑seconds at 6, and central hours and minutes—balanced, legible, and quintessentially Reverso.

• Reverse side

A pink‑gold case back inlaid with deep blue lacquer frames a theatrical digital “semi‑jumping” hour aperture at 12.

Peripheral minutes are read on a rotating disc, complemented by a night‑day indication—an expressive, graphic reinterpretation of time that rewards a flip of the case.
Inside, the manually wound Calibre 826—designed and manufactured in‑house—coordinates the front and back displays with robust precision. Finishing is executed to Jaeger‑LeCoultre’s high standards, delivering dependable performance alongside refined aesthetics. Water resistance is 30 meters.

Worn on a alligator strap, the Reverso Tribute Nonantième merges heritage with invention: classic complications and moonlit romance on the front; digital hour drama and lacquered artistry on the back. It is a statement piece for collectors who appreciate the Reverso not only as a style icon but as a versatile stage for mechanical imagination.

Jaeger-LeCoultre – Bio

Jaeger-LeCoultre has been at the forefront of inventions throughout its history, right from the beginning in 1803, when the founder Antoine LeCoutre invented a machine to cut watch pinions from steel. The brand was established in 1833, and years later in 1937, a Paris-based watchmaker Edmond Jaeger joins LeCoutre to form Jaeger-LeCoutre. The duo continue to produce some astonishing movements, spread over 1300 calibers and counting.
Through the years, watchmakers such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin have used the company’s movements.
