Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille Steel 270.8.62 is a classic in its purest form. The characteristic reverse case and Art Deco style make the model one of the most recognizable watches in history.
The Reverso collection debuted in 1931. The watch was originally designed for polo players. The rotating design allowed the shield to be hidden and protected the glass from impacts during games.
The Grande Taille version retains all the most important features of the original design. The rectangular case, horizontal grooves and a clean dial create an extremely harmonious whole. The size of approximately 26 × 42 mm ensures an elegant presence on the wrist and high wearing comfort.
The steel case fits beautifully with the bright, silver dial. Black Arabic numerals, blue hands and a small seconds hand at 6 o’clock emphasize the classic character of the model.
The rotating design allows the dial to be flipped over to reveal the full steel reverse. It can remain in a minimalist form or serve as a place for an individual engraving.
Inside is the in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre 822 caliber with manual winding. The mechanism offers approximately 45 hours of power reserve. Manual winding perfectly suits the traditional character of this watch.
The presented copy comes from 1998. It is sold in a complete set with original boxes and documents.
Excellent condition. There are only minimal micro-scratches visible on the case, practically unnoticeable during everyday use.
The brown leather strap is in excellent condition. The set also includes an additional, handmade custom crocodile leather strap.
This is an excellent option for people looking for a timeless watch. Reverso goes perfectly with both a suit and an elegant casual style.
