Notes

Reverso Chronographe RétrogradeThis watch is part of a limited series of 500 pieces only, produced in the 1990's.After having produced the famous Reverso in the version Tourbillon, Répétition des Minutes and Dual Time, it took Jaeger LeCoultre two years to study and realize this Chronographe Rétrograde. The complexity of this model constrained the creators to use a double dial: one for the usual reading of the time, the date and the start-and-stop chronograph indication, the other for the chronograph and register functions.
