In the 1930s, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is a timepiece that captures the essence of modernity, heavily influenced by the art deco era. Originally conceived as a custom request from a Swiss businessman who sought a durable watch capable of enduring the intense action of polo, the Reverso quickly gained popularity and became a staple in Jaeger-LeCoultre's production lineup.

Featuring an intricate 23-part swiveling case mechanism, the present Reverso Répétition Minutes boasts a sophisticated minute repeater complication housed within a sleek and elegant design. This model is part of a limited edition, with only 500 pieces produced. The silvered engine-turned dial includes a glazed aperture, offering a captivating view of the finely crafted regulator in motion.
