DESCRIPTION
- In inventing the reversible swivelling case in 1931, could the creators of the Reverso possibly have imagined that their successors several decades on would use it to serve as something very different to a simple protective “shield”'
One day, in observing the metal surface revealed in full while the dial remained hidden from sight, a watchmaker at the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre suddenly had an epiphany: “What if…'”
What if one were to use the principle of the twin-faced case for a purpose other than to protect from shocks' What if one were to equip the Reverso with two dials instead of one' Suddenly, this concept of a reversible case took on a far greater dimension and opened up whole new vistas of horological creativity.
But what would one actually do with two dials' Maybe use them to show the time in two different time zones' In 1994, this idea gave rise to the Reverso Duo which reinvented the GMT function.
Naturally, nobody imagined for a moment that this performance could be achieved other than by entrusting a single movement with the mission of driving this double time indication. The result was to take up the challenge of using a single mechanism to power hands rotating in opposite directions and independently adjustable.
