Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin Tribute to 1931 Q2788570
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin Tribute to 1931 pays homage to one of the most iconic watch designs ever created. Originally developed in the early 1930s for British polo players seeking a timepiece that could withstand the rigors of the sport, the Reverso’s ingenious swiveling case remains a hallmark of timeless design. This modern tribute captures the Art Deco elegance of the original, with a sleek rectangular stainless steel case, minimalist dial, and ultra-slim profile that slides effortlessly under a cuff.
Inside, Jaeger-LeCoultre equips the watch with its manually wound Calibre 822, crafted and finished in-house to the brand’s exacting standards. Measuring just 7.2mm in thickness, the Ultra-Thin Tribute to 1931 combines mechanical finesse with refined aesthetics, making it a perfect balance of form and function. More than just a dress watch, it stands as a piece of horological history — a living tribute to nearly a century of innovation and style.

History of Jaeger-LeCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre, founded in 1833 in Switzerland's Vallée de Joux, began as a small workshop established by Antoine LeCoultre. Driven by innovation and precision, LeCoultre's company quickly gained recognition for its high-quality timepieces and movement production. In 1903, a partnership with Parisian businessman Edmond Jaeger led to the formation of Jaeger-LeCoultre, combining Swiss watchmaking expertise with French elegance.
Throughout the 20th century, Jaeger-LeCoultre solidified its position as a leader in watchmaking innovation. The company's milestones include the creation of the world's thinnest pocket watch (1925), the self-winding Atmos clock (1928), the iconic Reverso watch (1931), and the Master Memovox alarm wristwatch (1950). Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to operate as a true "Manufacture," designing and producing its timepieces entirely in-house, while maintaining its legacy of innovation and exceptional craftsmanship.
