Notes

The 'Reverso' model wristwatch by Jaeger LeCoultre was introduced 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 dial. The design of this watch embodies the style of the Art Deco period and is still in production today.
