Reversible case with dual function – from day to evening
The Reverso Duetto combines the classic Art Deco design of the Reverso with the sophistication of a double-sided timepiece. The front is dominated by a bright, guilloché dial with Arabic numerals, distinguished by its formal clarity and graphic structure. The look is classic, understated, and perfect for everyday wear—whether at the office, during leisure time, or at formal occasions.
Turning the case reveals the other side: often in darker colors, with applied indices, sunburst finishes, or diamonds. Here, Jaeger-LeCoultre emphasizes the decorative side of the watch—ideal for evening wear, special occasions, or as a decorative statement on the wrist. Both dials are fully functional and powered synchronously by a single mechanical movement.
The case sizes range from small to medium and measure approximately 34–40 mm in length and 21–24 mm in width, depending on the model – slim, elegant, and eminently wearable. The case is available in either stainless steel or 18-karat gold, polished, and adorned with the signature gadroons. The look is rounded off by leather straps or delicate bracelets, matching the case and dial.
Two sides, one caliber – technical refinement
Inside the Reverso Duetto is a mechanical hand-wound caliber – usually the JLC Caliber 844 or 846 – that drives both dials synchronously. Despite its slim design and dual function, the movement is extremely robust, precise, and efficiently constructed. It boasts a power reserve of approximately 38 hours and is renowned for its practicality as well as its aesthetic craftsmanship.
Energy is transferred evenly to both sides – a technically complex process that makes the caliber a special expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre's watchmaking expertise. Winding is done manually via the finely knurled crown, which not only creates an authentic effect in a watch with such classic appeal, but also reinforces the appreciation of mechanical craftsmanship.
Despite its complex dual function, the Reverso Duetto is pleasantly light, precise in its turning process and shows how functionality and elegance can come together in one watch.
Models with personality and changeability
The Reverso Duetto is available in various sizes and designs – from the classic stainless steel version with a simple leather strap to the gold version with diamonds and an elaborately designed bracelet. The second dial varies significantly in color and design depending on the model – sometimes cool blue, sometimes warm rose, often with decorative elements such as sunburst finishes, engraved patterns, or gemstones.
The Reverso Duetto is thus far more than a watch – it is an expression of individuality, transformability, and horological artistry. A watch that has two faces without having to choose between them – and thus fits perfectly into the lives of modern wearers.
