Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface, 45 MM
The Reversible Watch
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface, 45 MM
As the story goes, the Reverso was developed in 1931 after a British army officer, who had broken the glass of his watch during a polo match in India, challenged Jacques-David LeCoultre to come up with a watch design that could survive a similar athletic endeavor. LeCoultre came up with this model, whose face flips over to protect the front of the watch from, among other things, errant polo mallets. It's become one of the brand's signatures, and still stands out in a world of round watched.
