The JAEGER-LECOULTRE Reverso Tribute Chronograph revisits and reinvents the ground-breaking Reverso Chronographe of 1996. The earlier piece was one of six special Reversos developed in the space of a single decade, each of them designed around an entirely new expression of the great classical watchmaking complications. Starting in 1991, following the 60th anniversary of the Reverso, these pieces were landmarks in the revival of mechanical watchmaking after the quartz crisis.
The movement of the 1996 Reverso Chronograph, Calibre 829, was not only the first shaped chronograph movement in a rectangular case for Jaeger-LeCoultre but also the first manually-wound integrated chronograph to be developed from scratch in the post-quartz era - a remarkable testament to the Manufacture’s inventiveness and technical prowess.
Adding a fresh chapter to the rich history of complicated calibres conceived and made in the Vallée de Joux, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph is powered by the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 860, a fully integrated hand-wound chronograph movement. Entirely designed, produced and assembled within the Manufacture, it is an elegant and creative answer to the challenge of housing circular chronograph timing indications within a rectangular case, while maintaining the clarity and legibility essential for this sporty complication. Moreover, according to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s approach to product integrity, whereby a movement should be shaped according to the case that houses it, the calibre itself also had to be rectangular. The result is a beautifully balanced and highly distinctive dial layout, with a large chronograph seconds display in the upper part of the dial complemented by a retrograde 30-minute indicator on an arc at the base of the dial.
Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, Calibre 860 incorporates a column wheel chronograph with a horizontal clutch, which was chosen over the more familiar vertical clutch to reduce the overall thickness of the movement. To display hours and minutes on both front and reverse dials, the movement powers two sets of hands that must move in opposite directions to indicate the time in correct clockwise fashion on both faces of the watch. Calibre 860 offers a power reserve of 52 hours, even allowing for the high energy requirement of a retrograde chronograph combined with two time indications. Despite this complexity and no fewer than 300 components, the shaped rectangular movement fully respects Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy of elegance, fitting into a case less than 12mm thick.

Wonderful!! Always a pleasure seeing Jaeger LeCoultre time pieces. Matthieu is such a lovely individual, he has passion and knowledge for JLC - and a great representative for the brand. Thank you for your presentation Alexander - love it!
Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
Incredible piece! Look forward to JLC at Watches and Wonders every year, they always bring out new watches that push the boundaries. I also love the new canvas straps. Turns the Reverso into something that can be worn casually
The strap “occupies” around 70% of the entire surface of a watch…
JLC … once again proved everyone that they are “THE WATCHMAKER “
Pure emotions, thanks for sharing!
JLC's Reverso Chronograph - particularly the example in steel - are utterly captivating! The canvas & leather strap and dial in that grey-ish blue is magnificent! I'm afraid that it's a bit too dear for my budget but I say the world is a better place for them being in it. Congrats to all its buyers and *many thanks* to you Alexander for bringing these lovely little works of art onto your channel. I love all your content but the JLC content is particularly impressive! I'm obliged to write this yet again… *Well done you!*
Love your passion, thanks for sharing! I keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 you never know and one day you will be able to afford such a watch...
Thank you for this video! These watches have been my favourite new releases. Absolutely beautiful watches and incredible watch making
I am happy to read this and that we could show them to you together with Matthieu...
I’ve been watching your channel for years now and I just looked, I wasn’t subscribed 😮. So I’m an old viewer but a new subscriber. I really enjoy your content and your zest for high horology. I just purchased my first JLC and no less a Reverso. So finally, I’m a member of the JLC family.
Thanks for sharing and for subscribing! Welcome to WatchAdvisor! Congratulations to your Reverso, it may continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
Great video - love the close ups! I have confirmed my order for the Gold/Black Dial - will receive it first Qtr 2024! Cannot wait.....
Congratulations, what a chronograph indeed! There is saying… anticipation is the greatest joy… but one year 🥶 will be a hard time… please keep us posted!
That's a lot longer wait than I would have expected. I want the gold version as well. Need to find a boutique to express my interest.
Always amazing quality and informative content. Thx Alexander ❤
Thanks for sharing your passion and your kind feedback!
JLC ! Such a fabulous master piece from a real watchmaker! I cannot broke my bank account now but glad to see this type of watches exist. Thank you Alexander to show us this amazing novelty. 🙏🏻
Love your passion, thanks for sharing! I keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 you never know and one day you will be able to afford such a watch..
@@WatchAdvisor thank you Alexander and blessings for you !
Amazing masterpiece, I am waiting for it to be delivered early next year. ❤
Congratulations! It is a long wait, but remember: the anticipation is the greatest joy ... Please keep us posted!
Absolutely magnificent!!!!!!!
Love your passion!
What a brilliant video, great to have these representatives from such an iconic band joining you on this. Beautiful watches, just beautiful 👌
Thanks for sharing our passion! It is not the first video we made with Mathieu …
Alexa, thank you for bringing this stunning timepiece to us. This really is a work of art!!
Robert, what can I do for you? (Alexa 🤣🤣🤣)
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you, Alexander. I sent you an email. Fingers crossed 🤞
Great video! Love that you showed not only about the watch but also the straps and its quick changing mechanism.
This piece is on my wishlist!
Welcome to WatchAdvisor!
This is a work of art!
I couldn't agree more!
Anyone here agrees that JLC should replace AP in the "Holy Trinity" 😂 this new chrono is my new GRAIL!
Just don't talk about "Holy Trinity" anymore, but of the Swiss leading brands in terms of watchmaking instead ...
@@WatchAdvisor agreed, JLC is definitely in the top few
Oh, I’ve been looking forward to this. Thank you Alexander!!!
Enjoy!
The best for the last, Nice interview 👍
The later the calmer it get’s… silence is wonderful… 😉
The most BEAUTIFUL release. I absolutely love JLC especially the reverso! I was there in watches and wonders and i stayed with JLC the longest and those guys making leather straps next to JLC were amazing guys too!
Thanks for sharing! They were called Fagliano...
Absolutely amazing watch. Hope it's not limited as I want one at some point.
No it is not and it is mentioned in the video…
Yeap I just called in to ask for allocation as I have the cash but was put on wait-list, supposedly there is a list of 400 for North America. 2024 January when the first allocations will start for North America. They have stopped accepting cash deposits, with no ETA on stopping production.
The star of the 2023 W&W for me.
For sure one of the real highlights of this yeaR...
Really love the Pink gold, so attractive.
Beautiful yes, I would want one in white gold...
Just amazing watches! Thank you for a thorough presentation, Alexander:) If I may ask, what do you think the service cost will be on the reverso tribute chrono, Alexander? Danke, und auf wiederzehen:)
Thanks for sharing our passion and your kind feedback! I estimate 2000 Euro....
@@WatchAdvisor thank you very much! Good to know;)
For anyone wondering, the new chronograph reverso measurement is 49.4x29.9, and you are looking at a year, but some of the pink gold ones will be available in December.
2023 allocation are already all sold, was told delivery is end of 2024 if you place a deposit today.
@mebiuspower I ordered the pink gold version from the website and was told they had 2 left to sell. They asked for 30% and congratulated me on a "fine timepiece." I couldn't agree anymore
@@jordanbeals9132 I saw it in W&W. It's a truly "wow" watch at the show. Congrats!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow !
What a watch !
Which one is your favorite?
@@WatchAdvisor Stainless steel version.
Superb….👌
Which one would you choose?
@@WatchAdvisor love all the Reversos. My monoface steel blue dial tribute small seconds for every day, the gold duo for the opera night out..but would live to see a new steel version with the original black dial..but don’t think this is available..yet? Maybe next year…
This stealthy gorgeous reverso is only for those who appreciate the art of watchmaking.
Yessssss!
Lovely. Love the textile strap as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful piece! Especially in gold
Love that blue dial 😉
@@WatchAdvisor They are both great. But I would go for gold with a brown alligator strap
That’s one to save up for!
Absolutely! Still if you are really interested go and talk to you JLC boutique... The deliveries only start in 2024 ...
A beautiful watch and a complication that is a legitimate expression of the Reverso's sporting concept. But! A Reverso should never be so large! The 50x30mm case wears bigger than a Speedmaster, yet such a watch should be understated, unobtrusive: for you and those that know. JLC are master watch makers, but are starting to miss the point of Reverso. It should not just be a canvas for complicated luxury at any size. JLC need to be more creative with dials, materials and waterproofing. And JLC's recent pricing??!!
Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing!
It would be nice if the "standard stainless steel" version came in this size.
Presentation as expected.
Guest...top line.😊
Thanks again for your kind feedback!
these duoface reversos are too big a thick. They should be under 45mm and 10mm thick
Have you tried one on your wrist?
@@WatchAdvisor I’ve seen photos of it on my wrist size and it looks large. Square watches should wear small to look more elegant.
Superb video as always. Thank you very much.
I have one question about hands and indexes of Chronograph Reverso in gold. If the hands and indexes are finishing in gold but not entirely made out of gold (18k) what are they made of? Are they gold plated?
I would really appreciate for your answer.
Yes, they are gold plated, that’s what Matthieu said in the video…
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you for your valuable answer❤
Will keep supporting your channel❤
Would be very interesting to see that watch on a mesh bracelet à la Ploprof. I would be very curious about it 😁😁
Maybe a bit to progressive for JLC…
😊 I am really looking forward to the ROLEX presentation.
😊😊😊
We are working also on those
@WatchAdvisor Alexander...I know you and your team are working on these and others.
The quality of your videos reflects your dedication.
I put this post to see what response I would get from the other posters 😀
Some dislike Rolex 👎
Should be some interesting comments 🤔 🙄 😅
No point waiting for the Rolex models, they never have anything in stock to buy at their boutiques.
@@flyboy747uk 👍
Sua maestà manifattura. Casa orologiera che si pone nell’olimpo.
What a passion, thanks for sharing…
My favourite brand, the Reverso is an Art Deco masterpiece. Don’t call them the watchmakers watch for nothing.
There is no other rectangular watch I would wear...
Waiting for my 2024 delivery
I’m also waiting for 2024 delivery. I ordered the steel version and the boutique initial estimate may be closer to end of 2024. Long wait but I think it is worth it.
@@huei2005 as long as your deposit is in you’ll be secured one! Long wait 🥲
Bravo! Congratulation! Please keep us posted...
Jeeeze 20,000 Euros's The world is getting more expensive
The complexity of this watch demands lots of time to manufacture them … only small quantities are the yearly output… understand the price from this angle…
@@WatchAdvisor I know many mouths to feed a whole factory & a fleet of BMW's with private parking spots - You know they used to advertise the Reverso for the common man in the newspaper when it came out. Not now
I truly appreciate JLC even in this mad world.
Why are hands golden ? What is that
Why not?
Gold watch.
What do you call these types of hands?
Dauphine hands
@@WatchAdvisor thank you so much. So nice of you to reply with how busy you are. 🙏🏽
Please do always feel free to ask me questions … thanks again for sharing our passion!
So no wrist shot hmmm 🧐
I did not even notice it when I watched the video the last time before publishing... Did we really forget when editing? OMG! Sorry!
I saw wrist shot
Unfortunately we live in a world where Rolex and Tudor(which is better than Rolex) appeals to the dumb as F masses. I don't mean to sound superior but we live in a world where perceived quality Rolex, trumps actual quality, JLC, Go, Cartier etc.
Don't complain, cheaper watches for us.
A majority of these aren't interested in their watches at all... it is just an artificial declaration off status... and a dump speculation object... watch aficionados are different!
I'm disappointed with this release. The chronograph is a masterpiece. The other dial is what I have issues with. It is boring and uninspired. A 2 hander? Really? Guess they got tired after all the work they put in on the other side. What should have happened is that they used the new white anthracite with small seconds release as the other face. I can only hope..
Tastes are different! And for me that minimalistic dial is the cherry on the cake...
@@WatchAdvisor agreed. It is a beauty!
I think it's nice I can wear it with a suit or at a formal event. And once I flip it I could wear it with a casual outfit. For me it's a nice watch with two personalities.
Alexander are you really a master watchmaker, or was that a joke?
No, I am not! I visited many watchmaking classes in my life to educate me, but I am far far away from being a watchmaker…
