Jaeger-LeCoultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre continues its exploration of duality and design with the latest Reverso Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’, now reimagined in 18k pink gold with a grey sunray dial. Limited to 90 pieces, the watch builds on the foundation laid in 2021, honouring the Reverso’s 90th anniversary while evolving its identity. The front dial remains faithful to the Tribute – refined indexes, Dauphine hands, and a chemin de fer track – but it’s the harmonious blend of the grande date, moon phase, and small seconds that signals this model’s technical finesse. Flip the case, and the real transformation reveals itself: enamel artistry and inventive mechanics combine to create a nocturnal scene that displays time digitally in a figure-eight formation framed by celestial motifs.

Beneath the artistry lies the Calibre 826, developed entirely in-house to meet the unique constraints of the Reverso’s rectangular form. It accommodates a patented grande date mechanism that aligns both digits on a single plane, and a semi-jumping digital hour display that favours gradual transitions over sharp energy spikes. These technical solutions are integrated without disrupting the watch’s visual balance, reinforcing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy of tailoring movements to form. The lower dial aperture incorporates a rotating minute disc, day-night indicator, and guilloché sunrays, all framed in pink gold and set beneath a sky of layered blue enamel and transferred stars.
