At Watches and Wonders 2023, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces three new models to the Reverso Tribute collection —the standard-bearer for the Golden Ratio that governed the proportions of the Reverso designs of the early 1930s. The Reverso Tribute Chronograph honors the ground-breaking Reverso Chronograph of 1996, reinventing it with the new Calibre 860, The Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon presents the complication in an entirely new guise, and four new Reverso Tribute Small Seconds models introduce new dials to the collection.
