First launched in 1931, the Reverso was designed to handle a sensible want: defending the fragile watch crystal throughout polo matches. Its ingenious reversible case allowed wearers to flip the dial and defend it from potential harm, setting it aside as a useful and trendy timepiece.
The Reverso’s enduring reputation has allowed Jaeger-LeCoultre to repeatedly develop its line, introducing fashions with problems corresponding to twin time zones, moon phases, and complex creative dials.
