Originally founded in 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre has earned a unique renown in the Swiss watchmaking industry due to its distinctive aptitude and constantly evolving sense of innovation. Its watches demonstrate an elite sense of precision and reliability, as every step of creation is completed within its own Grande Maison. Each timepiece crafted by a Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmaker is imparted with a level of technical perfection that is rivaled only by its impeccable design standards.

One of the most distinctive timepieces from Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Reverso is the result of a legendary origin story involving British Army OfficersÕ need for a watch that can withstand a challenge. The name of this timepiece comes from its innovative reversing case, which the Grande Maison created in the 1930s to offer the British Army Officers a watch that was at the same time elegant and durable. When turned, the case either reveals an alternative watch face or a beautiful, protective cover. The Reverso has since evolved into an icon of both style and watchmaking ingenuity.
