FROM SPORTS WATCH TO HIGH COMPLICATIONS – INNOVATION CONTINUES
Created in 1931, the Reverso was designed to meet the demands of the newly fashionable ‘sporting gentleman’. A challenge was set by polo-playing military officers in India during the British Raj of 1858-1947 to create a watch that could withstand the rigours of the polo field. The Reverso was the answer – a masterful integration of form and function. Quickly adopted by tastemakers from all walks of life, the Reverso soon transcended its original sporting purpose as new variations appeared – for both men and women. However, its iconic double-sided case (historical patent CH159982) and distinctive Art Deco lines have remained constant, making the Reverso one of the world’s most recognisable wristwatches.
The Reverso was born as a deft synthesis of style and function. Rooted in the Art Deco aesthetics, it also embodied a mechanical revolution allowed by La Grande Maison’s expertise. From the very beginning of its production, Reverso’s calibres were shaped to follow the curves of its rectangular case, an ingenious answer to maximise space used and therefore the precision of the calibre. In 1931, it was seen as a revolution in Haute Horlogerie: an unusual rectangular case, powered by shaped calibres, set in a dedicated casing ring to protect them from shocks, humidity and the passing of time.

More than just a stylistic contrast, its two faces opened new creative possibilities by introducing different functions on each face, transforming the Reverso into a true canvas for both artistic expression and horological ingenuity.
A WORLD OF TIME ON THE WRIST
Aside from the practical value of displaying the time in 24 major time zones simultaneously, a World Time watch exudes romance and escapism. The genesis of the complication lies in the decision made in 1884 to establish standardised global time, with the Greenwich Meridian in London as the reference, or prime meridian.

REFINED CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TIMELESS AESTHETICS ENHANCE AN EVOCATIVE COMPLICATION
Each dial of the Reverso Tribute Geographic is a masterpiece in its own right, offering a distinct and captivating identity. On the understated front dial, the sunray finish in rich blue (for the steel case) or chocolate (for the pink gold case) complements the signature iconography of the Reverso Tribute. The large date display is contained within a frame of polished metal that matches the case and amplifies its rectangular lines. The circular small seconds display provides a counterpoint to the linear geometry and echoes the circular world time display, revealed when turning the watch over.

A NEW INTEGRATED MOVEMENT ENTIRELY DESIGNED, PRODUCED AND ASSEMBLED IN-HOUSE
Developed specifically for the Reverso Tribute Geographic, Calibre 834 was designed, produced and assembled entirely in-house; as always at Jaeger-LeCoultre, it is a fully integrated calibre rather than an added module. Given La Grande Maison’s philosophy of designing shaped movements that closely follow the contours of their case, the rectangular Reverso creates a particular challenge when designing complications that were traditionally conceived for round movements.

For the Grande Date display, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers developed and patented a new shape of the date discs in 2021 to accommodate it within the confined space of the rectangular Reverso case (patent CH715152). It comprises two small side-by-side discs (one for the units 1–9 and one for the 10s, 20s and 30s) rather than two “stacked” discs, as is normal. When the date passes single digits, a tiny hook on the units disc latches on to the other disc, turning it to create the double-digit reading (10th, 11th, 12th, etc.). This has the added benefit of displaying both digits on exactly the same plane, rather than one lower than the other, to create more visual harmony.
