Jaeger-LeCoultre (Instagram) continues to push the boundaries of fine watchmaking with two stunning new additions to the Reverso Tribute Collection: the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds and the Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon.
These exquisite pieces merge classic Art Deco-inspired designs with modern craftsmanship, offering a fresh take on timeless sophistication. For the watch lover, these watches combine innovation, versatility, and a touch of luxury—hallmarks of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s storied legacy. Whether you’re looking for elegance or mechanical genius, these new models cater to a discerning audience ready to express their unique style.
Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds: Elegance Reimagined
The Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds enters 2024 with a new size and modern flair. Its 40.1 x 24.4 mm stainless steel case draws inspiration from the original 1931 model but adapts the proportions for a contemporary wrist. At just 7.56 mm thick, this watch is sleek and sophisticated, suitable for both men and women.
The Monoface offers a minimalist charm with two dial options—an understated silver opaline or a bold blue sunray lacquer—allowing wearers to tailor the piece to their personal aesthetic. The manual winding Calibre 822 brings reliability and craftsmanship to the forefront, ensuring that the internal mechanisms are as finely tuned as the external design.
For those who appreciate customization, the blank metal case-back of the Monoface is an invitation to personalize. Whether you choose to engrave a memorable quote or an important date, this model offers a canvas for creativity. Add to that the interchangeable straps designed by Casa Fagliano, and you have a timepiece that effortlessly adapts to any mood or occasion. Jaeger-LeCoultre makes it easy to transition from day to night with a range of strap options, making the Monoface a versatile and timeless addition to any watch collection.
Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon: A Masterpiece of Mechanics
For those who are drawn to mechanical marvels, the Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon is a watch that effortlessly blends artistry with engineering. Now offered in a steel case for the first time, this model is more accessible while maintaining the high standards of craftsmanship Jaeger-LeCoultre is known for.
The Duoface concept, introduced in 1994, is revolutionary in its ability to display two time zones on separate dials while maintaining a slim profile. What sets this model apart is the addition of a tourbillon, visible from both sides of the watch. The engineering feat required to integrate the tourbillon into the slim 9.15 mm profile is a testament to the ingenuity of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmakers. They eliminated the upper bridge and introduced a peripheral ball-bearing system, all while keeping the watch’s overall thickness to a minimum.
The front dial boasts a refined grey sunray finish, perfect for formal occasions. Flip the case over, and you’ll discover a second, open-worked dial, revealing the intricate details of the watch’s mechanics. Hand-bevelled edges and a guilloché Clous de Paris pattern add texture and depth, showcasing the artistry involved in crafting this masterpiece. For the adventurous wearer, the second time zone and night-day indicator on the reverse dial make this watch as functional as it is beautiful.
Whether you’re drawn to the minimalist beauty of the Monoface or the mechanical complexity of the Duoface Tourbillon, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s latest offerings are sure to make a lasting impression.
