Notes

This repeating wristwatch is part of a limited series of 500 examples only, specially made in 1993 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 'Reverso' model.The 'Reverso' model wristwatch by Jaeger Le Coultre 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 the dial. The design of this watch embodies the style of the Art Deco period and is still in production today.
