Introducing the New Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Nonantième
Jaeger-LeCoultre created in 1931 the Reverso, a watch for polo players that was made as a solution for protecting the glass of their watches while playing. Reverso was kept simple, a watch just to give the time and took 60 years for the brand to introduce complications on it. So, in 1991 was born Soixantième that add to the time, a power reserve indicator a date display and was at the same time the first Reverso coming with sapphire glass at the case back. Many other models with new complications followed.
In 2021, nine decades after been introduced, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents the new Reverso Tribute Nonantième.
The elegant Nonantième feature at front dial a pink gold case, with a silvered sunray-brushed dial, applied indexes and dauphine hands in gold, a small second with a moon phase aperture at 6 o’clock and a gold frame date window at 12 o’clock.
The solid pink-gold case back, come with two round apertures, arranged like a figure-eight and encircled by gadroons, the same rectilinear gadroons feature on the upper and lower edges of the case. The top aperture displays a semi-jumping digital hour indication, the same digital displays manufacture for wristwatches in the 1930s.
The large aperture below the hour provides the minutes through a rotating disk covered by a three-quarter plate lacquered in a blue within tiny golden stars recreating the night sky and at the centre a small circle with applied golden sun and moon, pass above a horizon, to indicate night and day.
Inside operates the completely new In-house manual movement Caliber 826, which provides the same time on both faces of the watch and offers up to 42 hours of power reserve.
