Catalogue Essay
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso was initially introduced in 1931, featuring a newly patented reversible case design that allows the dial to be reversed and protected. The present example ref. 250.2.86 was launched in 2002, with various dial variations and materials. Encased in pink gold and fitted with an attractive and elegant glossy black dial, the present timepiece is with no doubt a nice example of the reference preserved in excellent condition, yet retaining its iconic design.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Swiss | 1833Not all companies in the watchmaking field have been able to stand the test of time quite like Jaeger LeCoultre, also known as the "watchmaker's watchmaker." Founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre and originally named LeCoutre, the firm provided watchmaking's top brands, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, the high-grade, unfinished mechanical movements with which they completed their watches.
In the early 1900s, Cartier's watch supplier Edmond Jaeger sought out LeCoultre's help in creating the world's thinnest watches. The collaboration resulted in the creation of Cartier's earliest Tank and Santos watches, all housed with LeCoultre movements. The duo decided to merge in 1937, and the firm officially became the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand by which collectors know and adore it today. Some of the firm's most significant and important timepieces include the Reverso, the Memovox, the Atmos clock and, among modern watches, their Master Complications.
