Among the oldest and most renowned Swiss premium watchmakers, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been creating watches with changeable faces since 1931, which is impressive. The Reverso, arguably the most iconic timepiece ever made, was first designed to enable polo players to safeguard their timepiece faces when participating in the high-impact activity. The triple calendar as well as the Duoface, two intricacies with which the Maison is renowned, are combined in the Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar, a fresh iteration of the classic timepiece.

The triple calendar feature is a favorite Reverso aspect that lets the owner see two consecutive zones on several faces. On the other hand, the Duoface includes a moon phase indicator at six o’clock in addition to the day, date, and month displays at the front of the dial.

Overall, there are two variants of the Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar: pink gold and stainless steel.

Technical Features

The case:

The Maison offers both stainless steel, as well as an 18-karat red gold casing. Each has dimensions of 29.9 millimeters in diameter and 49.4 mm long. There are three levels beneath and above the dial, continuing with the style of the iconic Reverso from 1931. Otherwise, the timepiece is entirely polished and has a 3-bar waterproofing level.

Furthermore, the case’s expansion descends to the lugs—likewise, two extra pushers across the crown advance the calendar indicators.

Dial:

The dial of the stainless steel variant has a grainy finish and is silver in color. It includes a railroad minute line, applied indicators, and two major hands. A complete calendar is also shown, including each day of the week, the month, and the date. Moreover, the moon phase indicator is also included.

A second blue dial featuring a sunburst treatment is visible on the rear of the casing, which is reversible. It displays the present time in a different time zone. The minute counter is positioned away from the hour indicators, which also have a redesigned appearance. At six o’clock, there’s a day and night marker as well.

In addition, the hands and indexes are composed of valuable metal, while the moon window at 6 o’clock also has a warming color. The second dial, grey featuring a sunburst polish, is visible on the reverse.

The hands and twin markers are both fashioned of red gold in this instance. Moreover, the sun and moon are the same color on the dial’s bottom part.

Movement:

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar’s internal caliber, the 853, has been employed since 2016. It has a 42-hour optimum power reserve and is manually wound. Because it was specifically designed for the Reverso, this movement has a unique design, and its extended shape suits the casing well.

The system is concealed within the piece. Nevertheless, the manufacturer embellishes it with beveled sides, recessed diamonds, mirror-finished screws, and arches with Geneva lines.

Straps:

The calfskin straps on which the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar comes on are made by the Argentinean company Casa Fagliano. The house has been handcrafting polo boots for over a century and is best known for them.

The dark blue strap for the stainless steel watch has a folding clip. On the other hand, the exquisite red gold variant has a brown strap and a classic pin clasp. Each watch also has a second strap composed of leather and fabric. These could be quickly and simply modified with the fast-change mechanism.

The Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar debut took place at the same time as Jaeger-LeCoultre unveiled a new advert with actors Nicholas Hoult from The Favourite and Anya Taylor-Joy from The Queen’s Gambit. A New Turn, the movie that goes along with it, commemorates the Reverso as well as the butterfly impact. It says that even the most minor natural event can create an uncontrollable chain response that results in an unanticipated occurrence. For instance, a drop can turn into a sea, while a simple grin becomes a lasting romance.

The metaphor also applies to the Reverso, with the story emphasizing how important it is for the watch’s precision to have a range of just a few millimeters.
