The Reverso, iconic Swiss watch first created in 1931, has been part of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, continuing its long association with the Batman franchise. The swivel case of the Reverso is immediately recognizable, and its uniqueness is based on over 50 mechanical parts composing it.

Seventeen years ago, a limited Reverso Grande Taille series was created with the Batman logo engraved and lacquered on its solid case-back. The watch is back in “The Dark Knight Rises,” created to stand up to the hard knocks, with the Bat-Shield only visible when it’s reversed.
Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre pays tribute to the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight Legend with a custom Reverso watch. A special edition Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 steel watch is engraved and lacquered with the legendary Bat-Shield.

In July, for fans of the series and the watch-making brand alike, Jaeger-LeCoultre will display the original Reverso in its Geneva, London, Los Angeles, and Hong-Kong boutiques.
The Reverso series has a special history. In 1931, a technically advanced watch was developed for polo players with a dial that could flip, protecting it from damage while also offering a personalized engraved case-back. Reverso thus became a cult object that every owner could make unique by personalizing it with an engraving. Protected by patent, the Reverso has evolved over the past eighty years with new faces, sizes and complications. Today, wearing one is an entry to an exclusive world – in terms of watch-making history and aesthetic refinement.

EDOX - Iceman II Limited Edition



EDOX - Iceman II Limited Edition NEW

Dedicated to the upcoming World record attempt by Christian Redl to conquer the depths of Gokyo Lake

Christian Redl, extreme freediver and holder of the world record for diving under ice with a depth of 200 feet, has decided to test his limits once again. Placing his fantastic experience of extreme freediving at the service of science, Christian Redl has joined the Gokyo project, which will reach its culmination from 6 to 27 October 2012.


The six 203 feet depth Gokyo Lakes a sacred shrine of both Hindu and Buddhist philosophy are situated in Nepal at an altitude of between 15'400 and 16'900 feet and are the world's highest freshwater lake system.

Here in October, the conditions will be extreme, as everywhere in the Himalayas. The cold, wind and snow, water temperature and altitude become life-threatening challenges. With barely 14% of oxygen in the air the blood thickens, cutting off the supply to the body's vital functions.


At this altitude, walking and ascending summits become superhuman tasks. Freediving will therefore be a gigantic challenge that Christian Redl will have to overcome in this experiment where pulmonary oedema would prove fatal. Planning every detail, undergoing rigorous training and supported by a team of experienced scientists, he will subject himself to real-life tests to evaluate the transformation of his metabolism during freedives at this high altitude.
