Notes

The "Reverso" wristwatch was created by Jaeger Le#Coultre in 1931. The case of the watch is tightly mounted into a "carriage" which straps to the wrist. The case can be moved along a "track" within the carriage and turned over to protect the crystal and the dial. The design of this watch embodies the style of the Art Déco period and is still in production today.
