The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique ref. 250.8.86 preserves the Reverso's original 1931 design in its purest form, retaining the rectangular Art Deco case, manual-wind movement and swivelling hinge mechanism that have defined the model for over nine decades. Originally conceived to protect the crystal during polo matches, the Reverso's reversible case has since become one of the most recognisable silhouettes in watchmaking, and the Classique remains the closest reference to the original in Jaeger-LeCoultre's modern catalogue.
The stainless-steel case with its reeded brancards, silvered dial with black Arabic numerals and blued steel sword hands give the watch a timeless elegance that transitions effortlessly from formal to casual settings. Powered by the manual-wind calibre 846/1 with 18 jewels and a 45-hour power reserve, the watch rewards daily interaction through its winding ritual, in keeping with the spirit of a classical dress watch. This 1999 example represents one of the most refined and enduring expressions of Jaeger-LeCoultre's most iconic design.
The watch is delivered with all items shown in the photographs.
