Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre and Christie’s auction house present an exhibition that honours the iconic Reverso watch: Jaeger-LeCoultre & Christie’s travel through time with Reverso: “wrist-style since 1931”.
While originally created for British polo players in 1931 and considered the world’s very first sports watch, designed to withstand the rigours of the polo field, the Reverso took on the classic design codes of the Art Deco period and marked key moments of History – it has become an emblem for Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The style of Reverso plays the leading role at this exhibition with a discovery of the ‘Grande Maison’ exceptional Metiers Rares and savoir-faire.
In a compelling journey through more than 85 years of Reverso, Jaeger-LeCoultre is displaying some of the new pieces presented during SIHH, historic pieces, exceptional complications, as well the made-to-measure offer: the Atelier Reverso.
The event encompass a tradition of innovation and precision, art and craftsmanship, elegance and passion. Watch enthusiasts will be able to live the Reverso experience to its fullest through the ‘augmented reality’ concept.
Ends 9 June 2017
