Created by Jacques-David LeCoultre in 1931, the Reverso was originally designed to withstand the harsh impacts a watch might endure during a polo match. Thanks to its ingenious swiveling case, the dial can be safely flipped over during play and then returned to its natural position with a simple motion. Over time, the model has become one of Jaeger-LeCoultre\u2019s most important creations, with a wide array of contemporary variations appealing to both enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.<\/p>\n
The watch presented here is a Reverso Grande Taille \u201cArt D\u00e9co\u201d Ref. 270.2.62, dating from around the year 2000. It features a striking black dial housed in a rose gold case. The \u201cGrande Taille\u201d case, a Jaeger-LeCoultre signature, measures 42 x 26 mm \u2014 proportions based on the Golden Ratio (1.618), also known as the \u201cdivine proportion.\u201d Enhancing this sense of balance, the case combines polished surfaces with engraved horizontal lines along its top and bottom edges. The most remarkable aspect of this piece lies in the distinctive and captivating dial design. Inspired by the layout of the Ref. 270.2.62, this specific model features a deep black dial adorned with elegant white floral-style Arabic numerals in pure Art Deco fashion. It is complemented by kite-shaped hands filled with luminescent material and a small seconds subdial positioned at 6 o\u2019clock.
