Notes

Reverso Chrenographe Retrograde This 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, Repetition des Minutes and Dual Time, it took Jaeger LeCoultre two years to study and realize this Chronographe Retrograde. The complexity of this model constrained the creators to use a double dial: one for the usual reading of the ti me, the date and the start-and-stop chronograph indication, the other for the chronograph and register functions.
