Notes

The ?Reverso? wristwatch was created by Jaeger LeCoultre in 1931. Its case 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 Deco period. It is still in production today.
