History Repeating With The New Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater

The Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre is an icon in its own right. However, while a superb part of horological history in its original, time-only configuration, it is also a magnificent canvas for the brand to show its considerable technical prowess. That is precisely what they have done with the new Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater. Jaeger-LeCoultre has significant experience with this type of complication, as since its founding, they have developed and built over 200 different chiming calibers. In 1994 they launched the Reverso Répétition Minutes, for which they miniaturized a minute repeater to fit a Reverso, making the world’s first rectangular minute repeater movement in the process.

The Precious History Of The New Reverso One Cordonnet Duetto Jewellery

Within the rich heritage of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Reverso holds a unique place. Born in 1931, it was a purposely build sports watch with an elegant side. Its unique swiveling case could protect the then still fragile glass covering the dial from impact during a polo game. While initially a men's watch, ladies adopted the style not too long after. As this was the height of the Art Deco period, watches were worn in very elegant ways, and one of the most stunning was where the case of the watch was attached to the wrist by a silk rope. Jaeger-LeCoultre brought back that style, yet now in a most precious version. It replaced the silk rope for gold and set it entirely with diamonds, highlighting a precious part of their heritage.

Watches & Wonders was a great success, even though it was with the exception of the event in Shanghai, a virtual event. The watch brands quickly adapted to the new reality and dazzled from abroad through the digital channels. What, fortunately, didn't change was the vast amount of amazing watches that they introduced.

Four Watch Designs That Stood The Test Of Time

Staying power is something that every watch brand hopes for when they launch a new model. Achieving this is far more complicated than it might seem at first. Many new models will be tweaked in their design within a relatively short period after their launch, while others ride a wave of fashion only to be discontinued as this wave is taken over by another one. Only with a rare few, the passing of time doesn't seem to get a hold of them. They have become icons for their respective brands, and benchmarks for the rest of the industry. But that doesn't mean that they did it by merely being idle.
