The Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso Tribute range is a beautifully engineered, high-horology chronograph that cleverly combines classic Art-Déco-inspired styling with contemporary mechanical ingenuity. This rectangular timepiece pairs a striking blue-grey sunray dial on the front with a skeletonised chronograph display on the reverse, made possible by the iconic swivelling Reverso case. Powered by the in-house manual-winding Calibre 860 movement—with a retrograde 30-minute chronograph counter and central chronograph seconds—it offers both excellent precision and a fascinating view of the mechanics through the open-worked side. Finished with fine details like Dauphine hands and applied hour-markers, and accompanied by two interchangeable Casa Fagliano leather/canvas straps, it’s a standout dress-meets-sport piece that celebrates both tradition and innovation.
