Catalogue Note
Accompanied by instructions, wooden presentation case and outer card box.
Jaeger-LeCoultre wanted to create a case able to protect the precious watchmaking mechanism in all circumstances. One of the reasons behind it was the demand by British Polo-playing officers serving in India in the late 1920s. They were looking for a wristwatch rugged enough to stand-up to their chic leisure activity. In 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre came up with the patented Reverso design made-up of pivoting catches and clicks housed within a case able to slide within its support and turn-over completely on its axis. More than 75 years later, the Reverso model is still a popular model amongst collectors and Polo players.
