Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duo – Double Time
The pursuit of excellence has always been one of the core tenets of the Jaeger-LeCoultre philosophy. Naturally, the Grande Reverso Duo stays true to this ideal – bringing the highest levels of craftsmanship and incomparable design to one of the most iconic timepieces in existence. Distinguished by a reversible dial that includes two independent watch faces, the JLC Grande Reverso Duo is a true innovator of the horological world that combines understated elegance with a majestic countenance.
Originally designed for professional polo players, the Reverso allowed for increased protection thanks to its reversible dial – essentially becoming the first dedicated sports watch ever manufactured. From this fundamental idea, the Reverso evolved and matured to become a truly classic timepiece desired by collectors the world over. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duo takes this blueprint but includes two sublime watch faces rather than the traditional singular dial.
In essence, Jaeger-LeCoultre developed the Grande Reverso Duoface to continue the legacy of the iconic original – crafting a contemporary watch that borrows from its celebrated archetype. Featuring the same Art Deco aesthetic that made it so popular back in the 1930s, the Jaeger Grande Reverso Duo combines exquisite style and sophisticated functionality in one alluring and fascinating package.
