Jaeger-LeCoultre, “Reverso à Eclipses”
In 2006, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the “Reverso”, the Manufacture launched a new model, the “Reverso à Eclipses”.
This watch has two dials; one is made of retractable flaps, the other is enamelled “Grand Feu”.
A simple movement of the finger on the thumbwheel hidden in the thickness of the case makes it possible to reveal or hide one or the other.
Some unique pieces (such as the present model) and several limited series will be produced, notably the one with the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac (28 examples) or the one with the numbers «14-15-16-18-20-21-22» (25 examples).
