 +====== Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso ======
 +{{wst>image_cr|Jaeger-LeCoultre|Reverso 1931|[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso]] from 1931}}
 +
 +The **Reverso** is a historic wristwatch by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] featuring a flip-over face.
 +
 +===== Overview =====
 +{{wst>image_cr|Jaeger-LeCoultre|Reverso grande complication à triptyque RS}}
 +
 +The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso features a rectangular inner case which can be "reversed" or flipped over inside an outer rectangular base. It is similar in appearance to other rectangular watches but tends to be thicker due to this added complexity. Most Reverso models feature rounded sides, three inset stripes above and below the [[dial]], and a uniform slope to the integrated [[lug]]s. Early Reverso models had to be fully slid to the side before being flipped, while later models are held closed with a spring-loaded ball bearing or a latch. Although originally designed as a [[sports watch]], the Reverso today has become a [[dress watch]].
 +
 +For the first 60 years, the reverse side of a Reverso case was plain steel, which was sometimes engraved with a decoration or monogram. The [[1991]] "[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 60eme|60eme]]" model was the first to feature a [[display caseback]], while the [[1994]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface|Reverso Duoface]] added a second dial to the reverse side. This would become a signature complication for the line. In [[2006]], Jaeger-LeCoultre added a third display on the inside of the base for the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque|Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque]].
 +
 +The original Reverso case was quite small by modern standards, measuring 36 mm from lug to lug and 22 mm across. This approximated the "golden ratio" of 1.6 1 which has been followed by most later models. A larger [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille|"Grande Taille"]] ("Large Size") model was introduced in [[1991]], and this term is used today for any Reverso with a case measuring between 42 and 43 mm tall by 25.5 and 26.5 mm wide. 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 retroactively called [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique|"Classique"]]. Today, these sizes are known as "Small", "Medium", and "Large" in the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic|Reverso Classic]] range.
 +
 +===== History =====
 +The Reverso, was introduced to the market in [[1931]] by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre|LeCoultre]], designed as a response to adversity For polo-playing British officers in India it was always a great annoyance when the delicate crystals of their [[wristwatch]]es were broken during the competition. The watch importer [[César de Trey]] described the problem to his supplier [[LeCoultre, Jacques-David|Jacques-David LeCoultre]], who together with his partner [[Jaeger, Edmond|Edmond Jaeger]] and the Parisian engineer [[René-Alfred Chauvot]] developed the watch with the "twist" A case in steel, which can slide on a holder and swivel completely. This means, in dangerous moments, the delicate glass can disappear inside. On 4 March [[1931]] this idea was registered as a patent. Shortly afterwards, the watch went into series production. The Reverso lasted in production as the first "sports watch" until World War II.
 +
 +The Reverso was a challenge for Jaeger-LeCoultre to produce at first. Designed under contract to Jaeger (then a separate firm), it was intended to use a LeCoultre movement. But no appropriate movement was available and Jaeger was unable to produce the cases in time. Therefore, the earliest Reversos feature cases by [[Wenger|A.E. Wenger]] and movements by [[Tavannes]] (often signed "Lisica"), although final assembly was handled in Le Sentier by LeCoultre since the very beginning. Starting in [[1933]], LeCoultre brought the movements in-house with their specially-designed [[JLC 11 U]] calibre (15 jewels, 18,000 vph, 50 hour power reserve). Eventually, 11 different movements were used in pre-war Reversos.
 +
 +Most early Reverso watches used a similar 36 mm tall by 22 mm wide case, reflecting the "Golden Ratio" of 1.6 1, but some variation exists, including 38 mm and 40 mm tall base components for [[lug]]-less strap attachment. Narrow ladies models were also produced from the 1930s, measuring 28 x 16 mm for a 1.75 1 case ratio. A wider 31 mm x 21 mm (1.48 1) version is also seen.
 +
 +==== Decline of The Reverso ====
 +Although a popular watch in its time, the Reverso was not produced for long. It was surely remembered well but it was not included in the company's catalog for decades.
 +
 +In [[1972]], Jaeger-LeCoultre's Italian distributor noticed many unused Reverso cases in the factory and asked for the company to restart production for him. 200 leftover cases are assembled with mechanical movements and sell quickly, proving the market for this Art Deco classic. By [[1979]], the Reverso was again earning mentions in the press, with Europa Star referencing "Revival of the Reverso watch" in a story on the [[Basle Fair]]. At that time, the name was used as an adjective to describe the case rather than a specific model. These quartz Reverso models were predominately aimed at women.
 +
 +==== Reverso II ====
 +The Reverso was officially reintroduced in [[1983]] for the company's 150th anniversary.
 +
 +Shortly after came the squared-off [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso II|Reverso II]]. This model was wider than previous models, recalling a design from the 1930s and serving as inspiration for the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra|Squadra]] line 25 years later. The Reverso II was available with both quartz and mechanical movements in a case measuring 32 mm tall by 23 mm wide. The Reverso II also lacked the triple line motif above and below the dial seen on nearly all other models.
 +
 +Buyers preferred the classic rectangular look, so in [[1985]] the company re-committed to the model with a newly-designed water-resistant case. Also available with both quartz and mechanical movements, the new Reverso appealed to men and women alike. Soon the Reverso II was retired and the Reverso line was reborn.
 +
 +==== Reverso Grande Taille, Complications, and Gran'Sport ====
 +{{wst>image_cr|Jaeger-LeCoultre|Reverso Duoface RS|Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface, back side}}
 +
 +{{wst>image_cr|Jaeger-LeCoultre|Reverso Tourbillon|[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tourbillon]], one of many Reverso variants}}
 +
 +The Reverso became the company's signature product in [[1991]] with a special anniversary "[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 60eme|60eme]]" model with a larger "Grande Taille" case, leading to many complications and models. The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface|Reverso Duoface]], introduced in [[1994]], was a technical feat, with [[JLC 854|a single movement]] driving dials on both sides, along with the [[1997]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Duetto|Duetto]] for women. Strong sales have driven the watch to become one of the company's most popular models. One of the rarest models from this period is the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Art Deco|Reverso Art Deco]] with its engraved movement visible behind a display caseback.
 +
 +Jaeger-LeCoultre kept pushing their capabilities forward throughout the 1990s, debuting most new [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Complications|complications in the Reverso]] every year or two. Two years after the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 60ème|60ème]] came the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tourbillon|Reverso Tourbillon]], the company's first in modern times. The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Répétition Minutes|Reverso Répétition Minutes]] came in [[1994]], another first for the company, with the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Chronographe Rétrograde|Reverso Chronographe Rétrograde]] one of their first [[chronograph]] movements. The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Géographique|Reverso Géographique]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Quantième Perpétuel|Reverso Quantième Calendrier Perpétuel]] came later in the decade.
 +
 +Another development in this period was the creation of the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Gran'Sport|Reverso Gran'Sport]] line. The Gran'Sport was intended to attract a different audience than the [[dress watch|dressy]] Reverso line, with a curved and rounded case and [[complicated]] movements. The Gran'Sport introduced [[automatic]] movements to the Reverso line, included a [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface|Duoface]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duetto|Duetto]] model, and continued the innovation of the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Chronographe Rétrograde|Chronographe Rétrograde]] in the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Gran'Sport Chronograph|Gran'Sport Chronograph]].

 +
 +Throughout the 2000s, the Reverso lineup was enlarged and added a sportier and more masculine offering. Once again it was an anniversary model that paved the way This time, the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Septantième|Reverso Septantième (70ème)]] featured an even larger "[[Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso|Extra Grande Taille]]" ("XGT") case. The Grande Taille case remained in production as well, as did other previous models, but the lineup became fragmented with numerous sizes and designs. [[Automatic]] movements began to proliferate, in the new Squadra and Grande cases first but eventually even in the Grande Taille case as well.
 +
 +This was followed in [[2006]] by a square-cased Reverso line, the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra|Squadra]] which recalled the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso II|Reverso II]] and some early square models. The Squadra replaced the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Gran'Sport|Reverso Gran'Sport]] as the [[sports watch]] in the Reverso lineup.
 +
 +Jaeger-LeCoultre also continued to develop [[complicated]] Reverso models in this era. Most notable was the [[2006]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque|Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque]], the first three-dial watch ever created. Other important complicated models include the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Platinum Number One|Platinum Number One]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Platinum Number Two|Platinum Number Two]] [[tourbillon]]s, [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso à Éclipses|Reverso à Éclipses]], [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2|Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2]] [[perpetual calendar]], and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Répétition Minutes à Rideau|Reverso Répétition Minutes à Rideau]].

 +==== Reverso Classic, Tribute, and One ====
 +Jaeger-LeCoultre used [[SIHH]] [[2016]] to refresh the Reverso lineup with a new case and rationalized models. The main product was the new [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic|Reverso Classic]], available in small, medium, and large sizes. The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute|Reverso Tribute]] line recalls the heritage of the Reverso line in larger sizes than the Classic. Jaeger-LeCoultre also launched an all-new women's line, [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One|Reverso One]], which departs from tradition with narrow 2 1 case dimensions, recalling the original ladies Reverso. The real attention-getter was the latest haute horology creation, the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon|Tribute Gyrotourbillon]]. The line initially leaned heavily on [[quartz]] and [[automatic]] models, but [[hand winding]] models were introduced soon after, replacing many of the initial references.
 +
 +There was no replacement for the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra|Squadra line]] this time, and only the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2|Gyrotourbillon 2]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque|Grande Complication à Triptyque]] remained of the previous Reverso line.
 +
 +Today, the watch with the "two sides" is produced in many variants and is regarded as a beautiful, timeless classic that embodies the [[Art déco]] style perfectly. Due to its continuing popularity it is one of the pillars of the model range of [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] and has contributed significantly to the reputation of the brand.
