Reverso Tribute Chronograph

The Reverso was one of the first timepieces designed to be worn while playing sport, with a case that could be swivelled to protect the dial during polo matches. The Reverso Tribute Chronograph returns to the origins of this watch. Inspired by the Reverso Chronograph that Jaeger-LeCoultre released in 1996, it runs off Calibre 860, a new movement that combines a chronograph with a double-sided time display. Discreetly elegant, the front dial has all the hallmarks of the Reverso Tribute line. Turning the case over reveals the chronograph mechanism through the fully skeletonised dial and the Côtes de Genève decoration on the bridges. Chronograph seconds are in the centre above the chronograph 30-minute counter at 6 o’clock, which is swept by a retrograde hand. Both scales are on a black background for all-important legibility. Inside is Calibre 860, a manual-winding shaped movement beating at 28,800 vibrations/hour. The column-wheel chronograph incorporates a horizontal clutch. Also, the movement drives two sets of hands in opposite directions to show the time on both dials. Proposed in rose gold with a black front dial or in steel with a blue front dial.
