**Grande Reverso** (and **Reverso Grande**) is a line of large watches by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] in the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso|Reverso]] family.

===== Overview =====
The classic [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso]] measured 36 x 22 mm, approximating the Golden Ratio of 1.6 1. In [[1991]], Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced a larger Reverso case, named "[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille|Grande Taille]]" for "large size" for its 42 x 26 mm case. This would soon become the most-common case size for Reverso watches, but even it was not large enough for [[complication]]s and modern tastes. The [[2002]] release of the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 70ème|Reverso 70ème]] brought an even-larger 46.5 x 29 mm case which would soon come to be known as "Extra Grande Taille" ("XGT") or simply "Reverso Grande". Later models were named "Grande Reverso" and came in an even-larger 48.5 x 30 mm case or a slimmer 46.8 x 27.4 mm case.

There are essentially four "Grande" sizes of Reverso watches larger than the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille|Grande Taille]] in this period 

  * "Reverso Grande" or "XGT" - 46.5 x 29 mm
  * "Grande Reverso" - 48.5 x 30 mm
  * "[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin|Grande Reverso Ultra Thin]]" - 46.8 x 27.4 mm
  * "[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin|Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin]]" - 40.0 x 24.0 mm

The ultimate Reverso Grande, and perhaps the ultimate Reverso, was launched in [[2006]], the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque|Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque]], in a massive 55 x 37.7 mm case.

===== History =====
The first "XGT" Reverso was the [[2002]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 70ème|Reverso 70ème]]. The new 46.5 x 29 mm case it used would be the basis for a proliferation of models using the "Reverso Grande" name. The Grande family began in [[2003]] with the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Automatique|Reverso Grande Automatique, Ref. 303]], [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande 8 Days|Reverso Grande 8 Days, Ref. 301]], and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Date|Reverso Grande Date, Ref. 300]]. Soon after, the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande GMT|Reverso Grande GMT]] and rare [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Sun Moon|Reverso Grande Sun Moon, Ref. 304]] were added.

An even-larger "Grande Reverso" case followed in the 2010s. Measuring 48.5 x 30, this case first appeared in the limited-edition [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duo Date 986|Grande Reverso Duo Date 986, Ref. 374]] of [[2009]]. The next year, the unlimited [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 976|Grande Reverso 976, Ref. 373]] was launched. It was joined in [[2012]] by the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Calendar|Grande Reverso Calendar, Ref. 375]]. An unlimited version of the Duo Date, now called [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duoface|Grande Reverso Duo/Duoface "Night & Day"]], was launched the next year.

A smaller [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Lady|Grande Reverso Lady]] line was also created in [[2011]] with a 40 x 24 mm case.

The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin|Grande Reverso Ultra Thin]] line was also launched in [[2011]]. It used a 46.8 x 27.4 mm case, somewhat narrower than the original XGT but still close in size and name. The [[2014]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Night & Day|Grande Reverso Night & Day, Ref. 380]] was the first "thick" watch to use the "Ultra Thin" case size thanks to the [[JLC 967|Cal. 967B]] [[automatic]] movement. The next year, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale|Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale, Ref. 381]] which appeared similar to other [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin|Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 models]] but also used this thicker case thanks to the [[JLC 966|Cal. 966A]] movement.

The Grande Reverso line was phased out in the mid 2010s with the new [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large|Reverso Classic Large]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute|Reverso Tribute]] models now designated as the largest Reverso.
