For the longest time, collectors did not know the Corvo Reverso story. This modified in 2021 when the Italian web site Watch Madness revealed a superb article telling its story, that includes an interview with Michele Corvo, Giorgio’s son (and Jacopo’s father). Quickly after Richemont acquired Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Corvo household ended its distribution of the model in Italy and pivoted to indies, turning into an early pioneer of F.P. Journe, MB&F (they knew Büsser nicely due to his time at JLC), and others.
However even immediately, for those who search “Corvo Reverso,” this text provides the only real photographs of a Corvo Reverso with its correct Roman numeral dial. Over the previous couple of years, I’ve even seen a handful pop up on the market with no point out of the Corvo household, this story, or the watch’s function within the rebirth of the Reverso.
