DESCRIPTION

  • REVERSO TRIBUTE MINUTE REPEATER

    CELEBRATING THE REMARKABLE INNOVATION OF A NEW MINUTE REPEATER CALIBRE AND ARTISTIC INGENUITY

    KEY FACTS:

    • New Calibre 953: a fully integrated movement including 7 patented inventions
    • Métiers Rares™ mastery: 4 hours of guilloché, 8 hours of enamelling
    • Adjustable folding buckle: 46 pink gold (18k, 750/1000) components, weighing 30 grams, adjustable to 0.5mm

    With a new in-house movement, Calibre 953, Jaeger-LeCoultre reinvents the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater. Its distinctive dials on both the front and reverse sides bring a new visual expression to the complication and showcase the work of the Manufacture’s Métiers RaresTM atelier. To be issued in a limited edition of 30 pieces, the new Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater underlines how the Reverso’s unique swivelling case and Art Deco design have made it not only an icon of style but also an exceptional canvas for innovation in both the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of timekeeping.

    FROM POLO FIELD TO HIGH COMPLICATIONS – THE EVOLUTION OF AN ICON

    Created in 1931, the Reverso was designed to meet the demands of the newly fashionable ‘sporting gentleman’. A challenge was set by polo-playing military officers in India during the British Raj to create a watch that could withstand the rigours of the polo field. The Reverso was the answer – a masterful integration of form and function. Quickly adopted by tastemakers from all walks of life, the Reverso soon transcended its original sporting purpose as new variations appeared – for both men and women. However, its iconic double-sided case and distinctive Art Deco lines have remained constant, making the Reverso one of the world’s most recognisable wristwatches.  

    The Reverso was produced as a time-only watch for the first six decades of its life. Then, at the beginning of the 1990s, recognising the revival of interest in mechanical watchmaking, Jaeger-LeCoultre began to introduce complications. In 1994, La Grande Maison presented the Reverso Minute Repeater. It was the first time Jaeger-LeCoultre had miniaturised a minute repeater for a wristwatch, and it was the Maison’s first rectangular minute repeater movement.

    A LEGACY OF CHIMING WATCHES AND CONTINUAL INNOVATION IN MINUTE REPEATER CALIBRES

    Considered by watchmakers to be the most challenging yet rewarding of all horological complications to master, a minute repeater is not only a timepiece but also a miniaturised musical instrument. Jaeger-LeCoultre has thoroughly mastered the complication, having produced its first minute repeater in 1870 and crafting nearly 100 such masterpieces before 1900. During the 20th century, the Manufacture has continued to innovate, and the Reverso Minute Repeater of 1994 marked a notable breakthrough with its redesign of the complication for a shaped movement fitted to a rectangular case. This was particularly demanding due to the smaller space for the ‘sound box’ (for resonance and amplification) and the necessary change in shape for the gongs.

    Jaeger-LeCoultre has continually raised the standard for not only the mechanical efficiency of chiming movements but also for the clarity and beauty of the sound being produced and has been granted numerous patents for inventions that enhance sound quality. In recent years, these include crystal gongs (2005) – so named because they are adhered directly to the sapphire crystal watch glass, enabling a cleaner sound and increased volume – and trébuchet hammers (2009). Designed with an articulated arm that creates a ‘catapult’ action, these hammers strike the gong in a way that requires less energy without reducing the sound volume. Another important invention (introduced in Calibre 185 in 2021) eliminated the silent interval that, in classical repeater calibres, occurs between the hour and minutes chimes at times when there are no quarter-hour chimes that would ‘fill the gap’.

    A NEW CALIBRE AND FRESH AESTHETIC EXPRESSION FOR THE REVERSO TRIBUTE MINUTE REPEATER

    The Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater is powered by a newly developed movement, Calibre 953, which – like all Jaeger-LeCoultre movements – has been entirely conceived, designed and produced in-house. It incorporates seven existing patents, including key inventions that enhance chime quality: trébuchet hammers, crystal gongs and silent-interval elimination. The power reserve of the new calibre is 48 hours – a notable feat for an energy-hungry complication like a minute repeater.

    The new Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater is distinguished by newly designed dials on both the front and reverse. While both dials display the same time and are decorated with great refinement, they are very different in character. The front dial showcases a radiant hand-guilloché barleycorn pattern that creates an optical illusion of movement as it catches the light from different angles. The guillochage is elevated by multiple layers of grand feu enamel in a new teal blue colour. Both the guillochage and enamelling are entirely created in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house Métiers Rares™ atelier, with the guillochage requiring four hours of work, followed by an additional eight hours for the enamelling.

    The reverse dial is open-worked, revealing the complexity of the repeater mechanism and presenting a fascinating display of moving parts when it is activated. The sense of visual depth and transparency is enhanced by faceted indexes that are cantilevered from the chemin de fer minutes track and appear to float above the mechanism. The bridges are hand-bevelled, the decorative finishes combine brushed and grained surfaces and the cool silvery tones of the metal provide contrast with the warm pink gold of the case (18k, 750/1000). The bridge that spans the entire breadth of the movement from 7 o’clock to 5 o’clock and supports the hammers is decorated with blue lacquer to match the front dial.

    Set into the side of the watch case, the slider that activates the chimes has been redesigned for this version of the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater to be as discreet as possible without sacrificing ergonomics.

    Complementing the timeless aesthetic of the Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater, the pink gold case contrasts with a black alligator leather strap lined with small-scale alligator and an adjustable folding clasp. Crafted entirely in pink gold and weighing nearly 30 grams, the buckle features a double-wheel mechanism for micro-adjustments to the nearest 0.5mm. Comprising 46 components, it combines ergonomic innovation with timeless elegance.

    Testament to the 180 skills gathered under one roof in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s fully integrated Manufacture, the new Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater celebrates the versatility and eternal modernity of the Reverso design, underlining La Grande Maison’s constant quest to innovate in both the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of timekeeping.
