Jaeger-LeCoultre novelties at Watches & Wonders 2025

25 June 2025

A tribute to the Reverso – between tradition, craftsmanship, and technical sophistication

With the return of Jérôme Lambert as CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre, not only does an experienced leader return, but also a clear strategic vision. The renowned manufacture from the Vallée de Joux aims to reconnect with its glorious times – focusing on its most iconic model: the Reverso. Since its premiere in 1931, it has been not only a design icon but an expression of the highest watchmaking art – a reflection of aesthetics, mechanics, and emotion.

Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater – Art for the ears

The history of Jaeger-LeCoultre striking mechanisms goes back to 1870. In 2025, the brand presents an impressively revised new edition of its minute repeater model – in rose gold, limited to 30 pieces. The new caliber 953 combines seven patents, including crystal gongs for stronger sound and so-called Trébuchet hammers, which combine maximum efficiency with clear sound quality. An innovative mechanism ensures that pauses between the chimes seamlessly disappear – for a perfect acoustic experience.

Reverso Tribute Geographic – World time on side 2

With the new caliber 834, Jaeger-LeCoultre brings a fresh version of the Reverso Geographic to the market. Instead of a rotating city ring, it uses a fixed city index, complemented by a two-tone 24-hour ring that jumps in hourly steps – a clever change of perspective for world travelers.

Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds – Art Déco meets Milanese

For the first time, a Milanese bracelet made of rose gold adorns the case of a Reverso – and it looks so harmonious as if it had never been missing. The gold-colored Dial with a grainy surface, combined with fine Dauphine hands and small seconds at 6 o’clock, remains true to the Art Déco heritage of the collection.

The manual caliber 822 ensures a slim 7.56 mm case height – ideal for engravings or personal refinements on the polished back.

Reverso Tribute Enamel “Shahnameh” – Miniature art with depth

Four new models of the Reverso Tribute Enamel are dedicated to the Persian national epic Shahnameh. Each back is a hand-painted enamel artwork inspired by historical illustrations – including the allegedly oldest image of a polo game.

Over 100 hours of work go into each miniature, crafted in the in-house Métiers Rares atelier. Limited to 10 pieces each, these timepieces combine high watchmaking art with cultural depth.

Reverso Tribute Nonantième “Enamel” – Celestial bodies and digital elegance

The Reverso Nonantième returns – this time with an elaborately enameled night sky on the back. Gilded stars, engraved world coordinates, and a finely crafted duo of dials for hours and minutes meet a day-night display with sun and moon.

On the front, the watch impresses with classic design: Moonphase, small seconds, and a large patented date with flat number display. Limited to 90 pieces, powered by the complex caliber 826.

Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds – Functional and perfectly shaped

The new models of the Reverso Duoface appear reduced yet versatile: sunburst Dials in black or blue, each in stainless steel cases. The back offers a second time zone with a 24-hour indicator – ideal for stylish globetrotters.

The caliber 854 drives both displays. The model is complemented by two interchangeable straps from Casa Fagliano – color-coordinated with the respective Dial.
