Original Description:
Original 1931 Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Vintage Watch Rare!!!This watch is a very early example of a very fascinating Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso, which was first released in 1931. While I can’t say with absolute certainty that this is from the very first year of production, it’s definitely possible, thanks to the early numbers, style of the dial, and the use of the Lisica S.A. manual-winding movement (which was a subsidiary of Tavannes; Lisica movements were used in the first producti...on series of Reverso watches). The dial is in a beautifully faded grey state with a nicely patinated dial and hands. I feel that watch is all original minus the crystal and is in estate fresh condition.
HistoryThe Reverso was an innovative solution to a first-world problem: the risk to Polo players that there might be damaged during game-time. This functional solution – reversing your watch so that the crystal is protected – changed the horological landscape forever, and the cases became an easel for the crest of Europe’s great families – and has been an invitation to an amazing range of personalizations ever since. Thanks to the number of years that have passed since the Reverso first launched, really well-preserved early examples have become very hard to find and thanks to the pitch-perfect engraving and beautifully patinated dial, it’s got exceptional charm as well.The Reverso was launched in 1931 following a request a polo player made to Swiss entrepreneur César de Trey for a watch which would sustain the physical strain induced by the sport. The project was passed on to Jacques-David LeCoultre, who came up with the patented reversible case design. The polo players could easily flip the case around to protect the watch face from impacts, revealing a personalized engraving to the back. The Reverso has been an absolute cult classic since its inception with little to no change in its reversible case design.
CONDITION:This Reverso is in fair condition considering its age. The watch “reverses” smoothly and snaps right into place. The watch has been well-loved and its case has scratches and signs of wear. The dial has faded into a grey state with nothing other than the indices visible on the dial (“Reverso” not visible on the dial). The movement appears to be complete and original but is not running at the moment. The watch will require a service/repair. Also, one corner of the watch is ever so slightly bent, it not noticeable when wearing, but I wanted to mention it. This watch will be sold as-is no returns and will be shipped insured. Please look closely at the photographs and feel free to message me if you have any questions.
