Paying tribute to the original and first Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso launched in 1931, the JLC Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in stainless steel with burgundy red dial is one of the sexiest watches out there and for sure one of our favorites. In a hue that could also be described as ‘ox-blood’ color, the watch features an iconic Casa Fagliano matching red strap. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso was originally launched in 1931 as a convenient watch for polo players. The purpose of the Reverso was to be able to maintain the front of the watch protected during a polo match by virtue of swiveling and exposing a solid case back on the front. A perfect example of the Art Deco movement, the JLC Reverso is also one of the most iconic timepieces of all time.

Things to Know About the Watch

By simply swiveling the case, the Reverso becomes an item of jewelry that can be personalized with a custom engraving as the 'verso' side of the case is highly polished and completely sterile. A perfect watch to commemorate or celebrate a milestone, or to be presented to a special someone as a gift.

Deep red in color, the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds features a stainless steel case measuring 45.6 mm long, 27.4 mm wide and 8.5 mm thick and the unmistakable three grooves on the case, that characterize the Reverso.

The Burgundy Red dial is simply incredibly looking and very refined with the usual Chemin de fer —railway— minute track in white. The small seconds at 6 o’clock take the center stage providing great readability and perfect balance across all elements on the dial.

The matching burgundy red strap is made of extremely supple calf leather crafted by Casa Fagliano, the most important and renowned polo and saddlery company from Argentina known to collaborate with Jaeger-LeCoultre on a regular basis. The strap is very smooth to the touch and it features a bright red contrast stitching.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Burgundy Red is powered by the in-house manual wound JLC calibre 822/2 with 19 jewels that provides a power-reserve of 45 hours when fully wound.
