**Reverso Grande Taille** is a wristwatch by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]].

===== Model Overview =====
The Grande Taille case measures 42.2 mm tall by 26.1 mm wide, including the [[lug]]s. This nearly matches the 1.6 1 "golden ratio" of the classic Reverso case. Although small by modern standards, this case has sufficient room for [[shaped movement]]s with modest functions, including calendar, second timezone, and power reserve. Not including the lugs, the case is 36 mm tall, and the inner "reversing" portion measures 30 x 26 mm.

Any Reverso model with a case measuring between 42 and 43 mm tall by 25.5 and 26.5 mm wide can properly be called a "Grande Taille" ("Large Size") model. Those with a taller case, 45 to 50 mm tall by 27 to 30 mm, are referred to as [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande|"Grande"]] while smaller models are called [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique|"Classique"]]. The Grande Taille designation would also not include wider [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra|Squadra]] models.

The basic model, simply called the Reverso Grande Taille, uses the [[hand winding]] [[JLC 822|Cal. 822]] with central hour and minute hands and [[small seconds]]. A rare version was the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Art Deco|Reverso Art Deco]], which showed an engraved [[JLC 822|Cal. 822AD]] through a display caseback.

This model would be produced until the [[2016]] refresh of the Reverso range, anchored by the similarly-sized [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Medium|Reverso Classic Medium]].

===== Grande Taille Models =====
Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the larger "Grande Taille" ("Large Size") [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso|Reverso]] case in [[1991]] with the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 60ème|60ème]] model. This was part of a successful effort to modernize the range, and it proved quite successful. Shortly after that limited-edition anniversary model was introduced, a range of Reverso Grande Taille models was introduced, including the popular [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface|Reverso Duoface]]. Today's Reverso models still use this rough case size, including the modern [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute|Reverso Tribute]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Medium|Reverso Classic Medium]].
