Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 U.S. Edition Q2788571


1931 to 2011 - 80 years of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso.

Today the brand is introducing a new addition to the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931, exclusively sold at the Beverly Hills Boutique and select U.S. retailers. Donning the same black dial as its predecessor this year, this edition has straight hands with a pointed tip and baton-type hour-markers. To recreate the color tone the hands and markers of the historical 1931 would turn with age, Jaeger-LeCoultre used a tan luminescent material to bring out the vintage appeal. The Reverso logo on the dial is a faithful replica of the original 1931. Often it is the most subtle of changes that greatly influences aesthetics of a timepiece.

In 2011 one hundred pieces will be produced in a non-numbered series.

My 0.018 Swiss francs is that Jaeger continues the trend of luxury watchmakers to resonate with their audience by harking back to re-editions and re-workings of classic watches of yesteryear. There certainly is an elegance to the classic designs of old, but perusing old designs for inspiration for new editions seems to me like some brands are running out of ideas. After years of increasing bigness and wild designs, the luxury watch industry is cooling its heels and returning to sober watch design again. This state of affairs is understandable, but the watch industry needs to continue to drive forward with intriguing designs.
