At Watches & Wonders 2025, Jaeger-LeCoultre returns to the heart of what makes the Reverso enduring: heritage reimagined, artistry rediscovered, and form as function – with a twist. Across six new references, the Maison delves deep into its archives, unearthing the radical codes of the original 1931 design and the rare métiers that have long defined its creative language.

This year’s collection offers more than new complications or beautiful finishes (though it delivers both in spades). It is a tribute to the Reverso’s unique ability to evolve – not by erasing the past, but by honouring it. Whether through enamel dials that echo Persian miniatures or the musical resonance of a reinvented minute repeater, each timepiece feels like a love letter to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s design DNA – made modern for a new generation of women who wear their time with intention.

Turn each dial, flip each case – the magic is in the movement.

Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds

For the woman who dresses in tactility – silk shirting, sun-warmed chainmail, vintage Italian sunglasses – the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds is an instant match. In pink gold, its slim Art Deco silhouette is refined by a soft-grained golden dial and Milanese link bracelet, woven like liquid light across the wrist. There’s a quiet authority in its monochrome palette, echoing the original 1931 Reverso in spirit but made thoroughly contemporary by the Calibre 822, a manually wound movement shaped to the case and finished entirely in-house. Proof that simplicity can still surprise.

Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds

International, not in passport stamps but in attitude – which means your watch of choice has to be the Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds. Offering two distinct dials – one black (a first for the Maison) or blue sunray lacquer, the other in silvered sunray with a 24-hour indicator – it’s a lesson in versatility. Powered by Calibre 854, the watch allows for independent time zone adjustment with an invisible slider built into the case. It’s thoughtful engineering wrapped in classic lines, worn with equal ease at a Paris café or on the 9am flight to Milan. It doesn’t shout. It just knows.

Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater

For those who cherish detail – the rustle of silk, the weight of a well-bound book, the pause between notes – the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater resonates deeply. Its teal blue enamel dial glows over barleycorn guilloché, while the reverse reveals the open-worked Calibre 953: a minute repeater movement with seven patents, including silent-interval elimination and crystal gongs. This is not just a watch, it’s a musical performance on the wrist. Produced in a limited edition of 30, it’s a tribute to complexity worn with quiet confidence.

Reverso Tribute Enamel 'Shahnameh'
When literature, craft and beauty entwine

Four limited-edition timepieces, each a miniature masterwork: the Reverso Tribute Enamel 'Shahnameh' turns the caseback into a gallery of Persian storytelling. Painted by hand, these enamel artworks draw from the 16th-century epic Shahnameh, celebrating horses, myth, and poetic valour. Each is paired with a front dial in grand feu enamel over intricate guilloché – a luminous contrast to the detailed drama behind. Feminine in its reverence for heritage, and powerful in its expression, this Reverso is an heirloom for those who believe storytelling never goes out of style.

Reverso Tribute Geographic

With a new Calibre 834 and a globe subtly spinning beneath the reverse dial, the Reverso Tribute Geographic is a traveller's poetic companion. It houses a world time complication alongside a grande date, delivered in either steel with a blue dial or pink gold with chocolate tones. On the reverse, a multi-layered display reveals a hand-lacquered world map surrounded by 24-hour time zones – a piece as intellectually satisfying as it is visually rich. Slip it on, and the world feels just a little smaller, and a lot more stylish.

Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179

For connoisseurs of design, mechanics, and art in equal measure, the Reverso Hybris Artistica Calibre 179 is pure drama. A 123-component Gyrotourbillon spins with balletic precision inside a white gold case, surrounded by blue lacquer meticulously hand-applied into laser-etched hollows – a technique so exact, only three artisans at the Manufacture have mastered it. It offers two time zones, dual dials, and an elegance that defies its technical density. A limited edition of 10, this is the kind of creation one wears not just for timekeeping, but as a declaration of deep, cultivated taste.
