Insider: Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale. One of the Most Classic and Iconic Watches of All Time Keeps Getting Better and Better.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale ref. 381357J is the latest iteration of the legendary Reverso Tribute to 1931 collection. As we all know, the Reverso is one of the most iconic watches in the world and one of the most legendary timepieces of all time. The Reverso was created in the 1930s as a convenient watch for polo players who wanted to be able to protect the crystals and dials of their watches while playing. The Reverso is a perfect example of the Art Deco movement with its unmistakeable geometric silhouettes and timeless design. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale unlike all other Reversos, now features a central seconds hand to make things even better. This iconic tribute watch, features a matte black dial —that appears more semi-glossy in person— with creamy powdered markers and creamy bâton hands. To reflect the vintage aspect of the first Reverso watches, the luminescent material used on the Grande Reverso 1931 Seconde Centrale features the same color of the 1931 model guaranteeing an unbeatable vintage feel to it.
