1930s Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso central second

Established in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre in the Swiss Vallée de Joux, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been at the forefront of horological innovation. Known as the “watchmaker’s watchmaker,” it has developed some of the most intricate and complicated movements in history, including the Reverso in 1931, a timepiece with a reversible case originally designed for polo players.

Jaeger-LeCoultre has also introduced groundbreaking innovations like the Futurematic and Geophysic collections. The brand is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, creating not only technically advanced movements but also dials and cases of unparalleled beauty. Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to be a leader in haute horlogerie, combining technical expertise with artistic vision.

A turning point in the brand’s history came in 1931 with the creation of the Reverso, a now-legendary timepiece with a unique reversible case, originally designed for polo players to protect their watches.

This model is from the late 30s, after Jaeger and LeCoultre reunited into the new Jaeger-LeCoultre company. It comes in the classic size, in a steel case and features a striking white dial and blue hands. Also, not very common for the era, this is a central second version. Coming in very nice condition, this is an all-time classic.
