The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso collection was born in 1931 at the request of British Army polo players stationed in India. They needed a watch that could withstand the shocks of polo matches while maintaining the dignity of the officers. To solve this problem, They developed an ingenious sliding structure that turned the case upside down to protect the dial. The name “Reverso” comes from the Latin meaning “to turn back” or “to turn again”, And this rotating case became the symbol of the collection. Reverso is Jaeger-LeCoultre’s flagship collection that combines innovative architecture, Art Deco design, Various complications, And customization options.
The Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Q3978430 is a contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco spirit of the original Reverso from 1931. Featuring a stainless steel case measuring 45.6 x 27.4 mm, A slim 8.5 mm thickness, And a sunray green dial that shines deeply and intensely on the wrist, The dial shows various expressions depending on the angle of the light, And the dauphine hands and bar-shaped indexes convey a sense of classicism and sophistication at the same time.
Equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house manual-winding Caliber 822/2, It offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours and water resistance of 30 meters. The sapphire crystal and interchangeable green leather strap add a luxurious finish. The small seconds indicator at 6 o’clock strikes a balance between practicality and design.
Inheriting the original story of a rotating case for protecting the watches of polo players in the 1930s, Today it adds a modern feel with bold colors and restrained straight lines. The dreamy beauty of the deep green dial and the solidity of the steel case combine to give the wearer a sophisticated feel and a special presence.
