This beautiful and functional timepiece has a stainless steel case with the dimensions of 20 by 33 mm. The watch has a manually-wound movement and dates back to the early 2000s. The watch has sapphire crystal, a steel case and silvered dial.

Introduction

Jaeger LeCoultre ReversoThe story of the ‘Reverso’ started in 1931. The goal was to produce a watch that could endure a Polo match. Ever since the glass was the main problem, they needed to figure out something to protect it. The solution was simple but brilliant, a watch that you can flip over to protect it. Although it was made in first place for the polo players, it soon became very popular for the sophisticated and prominent men. Nowadays it is an Art-deco classic with a lot of varieties and a must have in the collection as it is historically one of the most important rectangular watches ever made.
