Catalogue Essay
Thanks to its iconic heritage, the Reverso has become a cornerstone for Jaeger-LeCoultre to showcase its horological prowess. A prime example is the exceptionally rare Reverso Night & Day ref. 270.3.63. This reference is a compelling testament to the maison’s mastery in both design and mechanics.
Crafted in 18K white gold, this reference features a striking, asymmetrical black dial that remains highly legible. Its most distinctive element is the unusual, hand-written style font used for the indices, adding a touch of artistic flair. The dial is thoughtfully arranged with a moon phase complication at 6 o’clock, a sub-seconds display, a night and day indicator at 2 o’clock, and a power reserve indicator at 11 o’clock. They all harmoniously integrate to reflect Jaeger-LeCoultre’s technical sophistication.
Powered by the manual-winding JLC calibre 823, the watch reveals its inner beauty through a sapphire crystal exhibition caseback. The movement showcases a stunning array of blued screws, finely finished bridges, and meticulous anglage, underscoring the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship.
Offered in excellent condition, this circa 2000s example is a rare opportunity to own a piece that exemplifies the elegance and ingenuity of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso legacy.

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.
