• Hand-wound Calibre 822: offering a 42-hour power reserve and compromising 108 components

• Iconic design and timeless proportions: featuring Reverso's signature swiveling and mid-sized steel case of 50 components, fitting perfectly on both men's and women's wrists

• Interchangeable bracelet designed by Casa Fagliano: paired with a black calfskin strap by the celebrated Argentinian polo bootmaker

Capturing the versatility and timelessness of the Reverso’s Art Deco design, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents the Reverso Classic Monoface Small Seconds with a new dial complemented by a polished steel case.

A STORY OF EVOLVING STYLE, FROM POLO FIELD TO DESIGN ICON

Created in 1931, the Reverso was designed to meet the demands of the newly fashionable ‘sporting gentleman’. A challenge was set by polo-playing military officers in India during the British Raj of 1858-1947 to create a watch that could withstand the rigours of the polo field. The Reverso was the answer – a masterful integration of form and function. Quickly adopted by tastemakers from all walks of life, the Reverso soon transcended its original sporting purpose as new variations appeared – for both men and women. However, its iconic double-sided case (historical patent CH159982) and distinctive Art Deco lines have remained constant, making the Reverso one of the world’s most recognisable wristwatches.

The new dial design for the Reverso Classic Monoface Small Seconds perfectly expresses the remarkable ability of the Reverso to take on different personalities – sporty or elegant, contemporary or retro, masculine or feminine – without ever compromising its core identity.

A NEW “COIN STACK” GUILLOCHÉ PATTERN BLENDS VINTAGE APPEAL WITH CONTEMPORARY STYLE

Complemented by a polished steel case, the new design combines subtle textures with bold Arabic numerals in a fresh expression of contemporary elegance. The dial is distinguished by a newly developed guilloché pattern that decorates the centre of both the main dial and the small seconds display. The texture of the guillochage, reminiscent of the edges of a stack of coins, contrasts with the subtle, vertical brushing of the hours and seconds tracks, as well as the bold numerals.

Balancing elegance and modernity, the case size – introduced in 2024 – closely resembles the proportions of the original 1931 Reverso. Its 40.1 x 24.4 mm dimensions and slim, 7.56 mm profile make it comfortable and elegant on all wrists, both masculine and feminine. The blank metal caseback of the Reverso Monoface invites owners to express their personal style or celebrate a treasured memory with engravings or lacquer.

Fitted with the manually wound Calibre 822 and offering a 42-hour power reserve, this new variation of the Reverso Monoface is complemented by an interchangeable black calfskin strap designed by the celebrated Argentinian polo bootmaker Casa Fagliano.

FROM SPORTING ORIGINS TO ART DECO DESIGN ICON

Created in 1931, the Reverso was designed to meet the demands of the newly fashionable ‘sporting gentleman’. A challenge was set by polo-playing military officers in India during the British Raj of 1858-1947 to create a watch that could withstand the rigours of the polo field. The Reverso was the answer – a masterful integration of form and function. 

Quickly adopted by tastemakers from all walks of life, the Reverso soon transcended its original sporting purpose as new variations appeared – for both men and women. However, its iconic double-sided case (historical patent CH159982) and distinctive Art Deco lines have remained constant, making the Reverso one of the world’s most recognisable wristwatches.

INTRODUCING A NEW SIZE RECALLING THE FIRST REVERSO DAME FROM 1931

Inspired by the earliest women’s Reverso timepieces of the 1930s, the Reverso Classic Monoface ‘Origin’ introduces a new case size to the current Reverso collection. Immediately after the Reverso was born, La Grande Maison began to create new models for women in a variety of forms, including wristwatches, handbag clips and pendants. The Reverso Classic Monoface ‘Origin,’ with its 32.5 x 16.3 mm case, shares the same dimensions as the Reverso Dame from 1931, making it an ideal choice for women who value elegantly discreet and classically proportioned designs.

The polished steel case is complemented by a dial that exudes timeless elegance. In the central rectangle of the dial, a guilloché sunray pattern appears to extend seamlessly into the markings on the chemin de fer minutes track. On the outer part of the dial, the subtle texture of vertical brushing forms the backdrop to transferred Arabic numerals. The Reverso Classic Monoface ‘Origin’ is available with a flexible five-row steel bracelet or with a blue alligator bracelet.

As with the earliest Reverso models, the blank metal caseback of this Monoface model is an ideal canvas for personalisation, inviting owners to express their individuality or celebrate a treasured memory with engraving or lacquer.

• Calibre 948: reinterpreted with a new enamel dial and 18K (750/1000) pink gold case
• Exceptional Craftsmanship: featuring nine layers of enamel for the continent dome and 17 layers of lacquer for the ocean dial plate
• Rotational Precision: the Universal Tourbillon completes a full rotation around the dial every 24 hours

In 2025, La Grande Maison presents a new interpretation of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 with an enamel dial set in an 18K (750/1000) pink gold case. A uniquely artistic expression of universal time, Calibre 948 combines a world-time display with a flying tourbillon that makes a complete circuit of the dial in 24 hours: an allusion to Earth’s rotation on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. Showcasing the skills of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house Métiers Rares™ atelier, the new interpretation of Calibre 948 is offered in a limited edition of 20 pieces.

A TOURBILLON THAT TRACKS THE PASSING OF THE HOURS IN EVERY CITY

As with all measurements of time, the origin of our world’s time zones lies in astronomy, the passage of the 24-hour day being determined by the rotation of Earth on its own axis. However, time zones are a relatively recent concept. Until the 19^th Century, every city determined its own time, based on 12 noon being the time that the sun was at the highest point in the sky, regardless of the city’s latitude or longitude. At the International Meridian Conference in 1884, when it was decided that standardised timing and global norms were needed, Greenwich Observatory in London (longitude 0°) was chosen as the basis for calculating the world’s time zones, hence the term Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For almost a century, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been distinguished by its mastery of complications able to display multiple time zones simultaneously.

Like all classical world timers, Calibre 948 identifies each time zone by the name of a city, which is inscribed on a blue opaline ring surrounding the central dial. Beyond the city ring are two concentric fixed rings. The inner ring indicates 24 hours, which are marked with applied indexes and laser-engraved numerals, and the outer ring features the minute track, which is a laser-engraved on a background of blue lacquer.

In a circular aperture to one side of the world map, the universal flying tourbillon appears to float weightlessly above the oceans, spinning in 60 seconds. As the tourbillon makes a complete 360-degree circuit of the dial in 24 hours, the domed map and the city ring turn in unison, mimicking the rotation of Earth.

A WORLD OF TIME EXPRESSED THROUGH THE MASTERY OF ANCESTRAL CRAFTS

To create the complex and richly coloured dial of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948, the master artisans of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Métiers Rares™ atelier united the skills of champlevé enamelling for the continents, with hand-guillochage and hand-lacquering for the oceans.

Measuring just 25.5mm in diameter, the multi-layered dial of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 is a remarkable work of art in miniature. In keeping with world-timer tradition, the centre of the dial is dominated by a map of the world as seen from the North Pole. The outline of the continents is cut from a fine plate of 18K pink gold (750/1000) and decorated with champlevé enamel. However, unlike the traditional flattened image, this map floats above the main dial plate on a domed skeleton formed by the longitudes and latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.

A masterpiece of laser-cutting precision, this complex and delicate domed structure brings lightness and depth to the dial and makes a subtle allusion to the depth and complexity of time measurement. Beneath the dome, representing the oceans, the dial plate is decorated with blue translucent lacquer applied over a wavy hand-guilloché pattern that suggests the movement of the sea.

Champlevé - which translates literally as ‘raised field’ - is a noble and ancient enamelling technique. The first step is to carve out depressions in the surface of the precious metal, conforming precisely to the outline of the desired image. These hollow areas are then filled with multiple layers of enamel, fired at very high temperatures after each layer, until they are flush with the original surface. Adding refinement and visual interest, the enameller uses a combination of opaque and translucent enamels to create areas of lighter and darker colour that suggest the continents’ different landscapes. The Calibre 948 dial required the meticulous work of nine layers of enamel for the dome.

Lacquering is a lengthy and exacting artisanal process used in the creation of the ocean dial plate. It involves the manual application of multiple layers of coating on the surface to be decorated. It begins with a clear coat of varnish, followed by a layer of colour. This is followed by up to 15 coats of translucent lacquer, to add depth and richness, with each coat requiring a precisely controlled drying process. The lacquering is completed by polishing the disc to a perfect finish that attracts the light and amplifies the richness of the colour.

AN EXCEPTIONAL CALIBRE COMPLEMENTED BY AN ELEGANT CASE

When Jaeger-LeCoultre created Calibre 948, it was the first time that a world-time complication had ever been united with a flying tourbillon. Moreover, the Universal Tourbillon, patented by Jaeger-LeCoultre, makes a complete circuit of the dial every 24 hours, corresponding to the length of a mean solar day. Consisting of 388 components, the automatic movement is an eloquent expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s technical expertise, having been conceived, developed and entirely produced within the Manufacture.

Despite its complexity, Calibre 948 has been designed to ensure that the watch is very simple to operate: the time is set with the crown, which synchronises all the time zones around the world. On arrival at a new destination, local time is set by the same crown, which moves only the hour hand, in one-hour jumps forwards or backwards, as the minutes and seconds continue running.

With its pure lines and refined proportions, the Master Grande Tradition case is a perfect foil for the complexity of the dial. Comprising more than 40 parts, its convex bezel contrasts with broad bevels on the lugs, and the hollowed-out lug sides add dynamic tension. Different surfaces are micro-blasted, polished and satin-brushed to maximise the play of light. The warmth of the pink gold is complemented by a dark blue alligator strap.

With its enamel dial and pink gold case, the new interpretation of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 948 is a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to uniting artistic creativity and sophisticated mechanics, always maintaining the fine balance between innovation and tradition.

Limited edition of 20 pieces

• Artistic reinterpretation: offering a dark blue lacquer, midnight-blue champlevé enamel dome and a golden-coloured filigree structure creating a 3-level dial

• Celestial mastery: a Cosmotourbillon comprising 73 components orbits of the dial in one sidereal day, complemented by a Northern Hemisphere sky chart

• An exclusive masterpiece: offered in a limited edition of 5 pieces

Jaeger-LeCoultre highlights its expertise in celestial complications with an artistic reinterpretation of the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945, in a limited edition of five pieces. With a midnight-blue enamel dial set in an 18K Pink Gold (750/1000) case, this new opus celebrates La Grande Maison’s artistic creativity and mastery of haute horlogerie decorative crafts while reaffirming its technical ingenuity.

Originally created in 2010, Calibre 945 unites a star chart indicating the constellations in the Northern Hemisphere moving in real time, a minute repeater and Jaeger-LeCoultre’s unique flying Cosmotourbillon, which displays sidereal time.

ARTISTIC CREATIVITY: A DRAMATIC CELESTIAL AESTHETIC THANKS TO MÉTIERS RARES™

The new edition of the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945 demonstrates innovative aesthetic language showcasing the skills of the Manufacture’s Métiers Rares™ atelier. Hand-decorated by the skilled artisans working in this internal department, its triple-level dome-shaped dial amplifies the celestial theme’s beauty – in particular that of the Cosmotourbillon – by adding a filigreed ‘Atomium’ structure that alludes to the lines connecting the constellations on the sky chart. The enamelled sky chart is slightly smaller than on previous iterations as it takes up only the centre of the dome rather than the entire dial, leaving more room for the intricate golden-coloured lattice structure. In both its name and its shape, the ‘Atomium’ evokes a structure of 117 interconnected spheres, reminiscent of constellations.

In a subtle allusion to the way the night sky seems to form a dome above us when we look at the stars, the ethereal ‘Atomium’, wraps around the Cosmotourbillon and holds the central dome of the dial, decorated with dark blue Grand Feu enamel with transferred constellations in white. The tourbillon seconds scale resembles rays of light emanating from the tourbillon, the seconds being indicated by a small pointer on the tourbillon.

INTERPRETING THE HEAVENS: THE COSMOTOURBILLON AND CELESTIAL TIME

Evolving the tourbillon far beyond its purely technical function as a regulating mechanism designed to defy gravity, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created the Cosmotourbillon. A celestial flying 60-second tourbillon, it also measures the passing of time by making a complete, anti-clockwise circuit of the dial in one sidereal day. It does so in tandem with the Northern Hemisphere sky chart that tracks the positions of the constellations in real time as seen from Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s home since its founding in 1833. Lasting 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds, a sidereal day is defined by Earth’s rotation measured in relation to fixed stars, whereas the 24-hour solar day (used for civil time) is measured by Earth's orbit around the Sun.

The flying Cosmotourbillon is secured only on the movement side, allowing for a full view of its kinetic beauty. The entire mechanism consisting of 73 components is held by a lightweight titanium carriage to provide an unobstructed view of the regulating system. Mounted on lubricant-free ceramic ball bearings, its 10-millimetre monometallic balance wheel beats at a 4 Hz frequency.

Since precise functionality is a key tenet of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the celestial display is based on a calendar complication that enables the precise setting of the constellation position, as they really appear in the sky. Indicated by the golden-coloured sun-shaped pointer at the edge of the rotating dial, it also performs a full revolution around the dial in 24 hours, to indicate 24-hour time.

THE SOUND OF THE HEAVENS: A MINUTE REPEATER MARKS TIME

The exquisite chimes of a minute repeater complement the romance of celestial timekeeping, and so this exceptional timepiece also takes Jaeger-LeCoultre’s expertise in chiming watches – one of the most challenging and rewarding of all horological complications for a watchmaker to master – to new heights by uniting the astronomical complications with it. The technical difficulty of creating a minute repeater lies in the complexity of the mechanism needed to transcribe the precise time shown by the hands into a series of perfectly programmed strikes with different sounds for hours, quarters and minutes. The artistic challenge is that the chimes must be pure, harmonious and clearly audible.

At Jaeger-LeCoultre, this continuing quest for the ideal sound has produced several patented innovations, including cathedral crystal gongs – fixed on the rear sapphire crystal for maximum resonance – trébuchet hammers that vastly improve the acoustic qualities of the striking mechanism, and a silent governor so there is no distraction from the crystal-clear sound of the magical mechanism. In the minute repeater mechanism of Calibre 945, these inventions contribute a special magic that complements the romance of celestial timekeeping.

THE COMPLEXITY OF SIMPLICITY: AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE FOR A REMARKABLE WATCH

The case is a perfect complement to the artistic dial and mechanical sophistication of the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945. Measuring 45 mm x 16.05 mm and comprising more than 80 parts, its convex bezel is complemented by broad bevels on the lugs, while micro-blasted finishes inside the lugs add dynamic tension; the repeater slide is tapered to harmonise with the curving case sides. Different surfaces are micro-blasted, polished, and satin-brushed to maximise the play of light and emphasise the details.

Enhancing both aesthetics and ease of use, the watch has no recessed buttons in the side of the case for setting: all functions and displays are set via the crown. The minute repeater is activated by a slide on the left side of the case.

The essence of the Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945 is the way in which it artistically and visually interprets astronomical timekeeping for the wrist, using the dial to display our link to the cosmos on both literal and philosophical levels – combining mechanical creativity with intricate decorative crafts.

• Contemporary allure: a new two-tone and grained sector dial which creates a distinctive aesthetic, presented in a limited edition of 500 pieces
• A signature complication: inspired by the Maison’s renowned Triple Calendar movements of the 1940s
• A high-performing movement: the Calibre 866 delivers a 70-hour power reserve and a complete calendar, featuring a jumping date hand that ensures an unobstructed view of the moon-phase indication

Jaeger-LeCoultre brings contemporary allure to one of its classical, signature complications with a new interpretation of the Master Control Calendar. The grained dial in two shades of grey pays a subtle homage to the sector dials of the mid-20^th century, while offering a contemporary interpretation of a classic design. Powered by Calibre 866, the new model will be offered in a limited edition of 500 pieces.

INSPIRED BY TWO HISTORIC REFERENCES

Renowned for the triple calendar moon-phase movements that it developed in the 1940s, and that were adopted by several other leading Maisons, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced a new version of the complication in 2020 as part of the relaunched Master Control collection.

50 years after creating its first triple calendar movements, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the Master Control Collection in 1992, naming it after its pioneering ‘1000 Hours Control’ certification. The certification protocol, which set a new standard at the time by testing the entire cased-up watch, has continually evolved in response to technological advances. The Collection also established its own aesthetic codes, defined by technical rigour and stylistic restraint, reinterpreting the classic round watches of the 1950s to create a timeless yet contemporary elegance.

A DISTINCTIVE NEW VISUAL APPROACH

The classical triple calendar complication – also known as a complete calendar – shows the day, date, month, and moon-phases, with the days and months in the upper half of the dial, the moon-phase in the lower part and the dates marked around the periphery, indicated by a hand.

The two-tone effect of the new grained dial creates a visually compelling and highly legible version of this classical layout, with indications divided into distinct sections defined by alternating shades of light and dark grey. In the lighter-toned centre, the day and month windows are positioned at the top, with black decal indications on white discs. In the lower part of the central area, the moon phase display is contained within the small seconds sub-dial. Set against a blue sky dotted with stars, the polished moon subtly reflects the dark grey hue of the ring displaying the hours. Outside the hour circle, the minutes chapter ring is light grey, while the outermost circle displays the date against a dark grey background. The contrast between the light and dark greys is amplified by the way the grained texture of the dial absorbs and reflects the light differently, according to the shade of grey.

Small flashes of red on the date indications around the dial and on the date hand add a discreet touch of contrast. The new dial retains all the other design codes of the Master Control collection: the elongated triangular applied indexes, complemented by Arabic numerals at 12, 3, and 9; the faceted Dauphine hands, polished on one side and brushed on the other; and the finely balanced, classical layout of the indications. Completing the signature aesthetic, the 40 mm Master Control case features refined finishes – polished on the bezel and the top of the lugs, and finely brushed along the sides, exuding a relaxed and understated elegance.

THE IN-HOUSE MECHANICAL MOVEMENT

Equipped with the Manufacture’s calendar movement Calibre 866, the Master Control Calendar displays hours, minutes, seconds, complete calendar and moon-phase indications. The high-performance self-winding movement offers a power reserve of 70 hours. Calibre 866 introduces an original and fascinating new variation to the traditional format of dates marked around the outer periphery and indicated by a hand. In homage to the beauty of the moon-phase, the date hand is fitted with a rapid-gliding feature, signalled by red arrows on the date ring. Once a month, between the 15^th and the 16^th, the red-tipped date hand leaps swiftly across the 90 degrees that separate the two dates, ensuring that the moon-phase display is never obscured.

With the Master Control Calendar, Jaeger-LeCoultre builds upon its legacy of innovation and accomplishment in a continuing evolution of technical expertise and creative design. The new dial pays homage to one of the Maison’s signature complications, reimagining its aesthetic for the 21^st century.

• High-complication movement: Calibre 985, comprising 431 parts
• Cylindrical flying tourbillon: 83 components weighing 0.386 grams in total 
• Complex case: more than 80 components, with multiple surface finishes

Jaeger-LeCoultre continues its pursuit of precision in mechanics and aesthetics with three new interpretations of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 985. Two are cased in Platinum (950/1000) with an eye-catching blue dial, one with a polished bezel and one with a diamond-set bezel, and the third is cased in 18k pink gold (750/1000) with a brown dial. Developed in 2013, Calibre 985 unites a perpetual calendar and moon phase display with the fascination of a flying tourbillon equipped with a cylindrical hairspring.

INSPIRED BY THE QUEST FOR PRECISION

The pursuit of precision at Jaeger-LeCoultre is driven by the values of its founder, Antoine LeCoultre. His obsession with accuracy, not only in the design and structure of his calibres, but also in the finishing, assembly and decoration of each case and dial, has inspired every succeeding generation to continue the journey. Calibre 985, incorporating a tourbillon with a cylindrical hairspring, masterfully demonstrates the Manufacture’s expertise in this quest for precision. 

The regulating organ – comprising the balance wheel, hairspring and escapement – is one of the most important parts of a movement as it governs the accuracy of timekeeping. Having focused considerable effort for many years on researching the effect of incorporating tourbillons into the regulating organ and on the impact of differently shaped hairsprings, Jaeger-LeCoultre has a deep understanding of how this affects the accuracy of the watch. The expansion and contraction of the hairspring controls the back-and-forth oscillations of the balance wheel, and it is crucial that these oscillations are concentric in order to limit the impact of both gravity and magnetism.

The Manufacture’s engineers discovered that the shape and attachment (terminal curves) of a hairspring determine the way it contracts and expands. They determined that different shapes oscillate differently, according to the specific construction of the regulating organ in a particular calibre. This has prompted the development of hairsprings in S-shape, spherical, semi-spherical and cylindrical forms. Being one of the very few Manufactures able to shape its own hairsprings in-house gives La Grande Maison a distinct advantage in this respect. 

The helical or cylindrical form of the hairspring was invented in 1776 then largely forgotten until the 21st century. The ends of the spring coil inwards and it offers enhanced isochronic performance, beating concentrically in every position, regardless of the amplitude (the back-and-forth swing of the balance wheel) or remaining power reserve. This is the hairspring used in Calibre 985.

CALIBRE 985 – THE PRECISION OF COMPLICATIONS AND DECORATION

A complex and sophisticated movement entirely developed and produced by Jaeger-LeCoultre, Calibre 985 is composed of 431 parts, of which the flying tourbillon alone comprises 83 components. Crafted in titanium, it weighs just 0.386 grams. The enhanced isochronism of the cylindrical hairspring made it the right choice for this movement, which delivers all the functions of a perpetual calendar, as well as a moon phase that will require no adjustment for 122 years. 

On the reverse side of the watch, the sapphire crystal case back reveals the exceptional precision of the Haute Horlogerie finishes on the movement, including blued screws, sunrayed Côtes de Genève, snailing and hand-bevelling. The winding rotor in 22k rose gold (916/1000) is decorated with sunray engraving and a reproduction of the gold medal awarded to Antoine LeCoultre at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London for his development of precisely calibrated stamping, cutting machines and mechanical lathes which allowed the components’ interchangeability.

EXCEPTIONAL CASES IN PLATINUM AND IN PINK GOLD WITH A SIGNATURE DIAL

Sophisticated in design and complex in structure, the Master Grande Tradition case consists of more than 80 components. With screwed in lugs and a mix of polished, brushed and micro-blasted surfaces, the case is reserved for only the Maison’s most complex calibres. 
 

The warm glow of the pink gold case is complemented by the soft brown of the corresponding dial, while the cool tones of the platinum case create a striking contrast with the rich blue dial, enhanced by the high polish of the bezel. On the second platinum-cased model, the colour contrast is amplified by diamonds. The bezel is set with 72 baguette-cut diamonds, making a total of approximately 3.4 carats – the subject of 15 hours of gem-setting work in the Manufacture’s own Métiers Rares™ atelier.

A hand-bevelled bridge spans across the dial, with the area surrounding the tourbillon set below the rest of the dial for both aesthetic effect and technical reasons. Tiny details and subtle colour variations add visual interest: the minute track and periphery of each sub-dial are micro-blasted, the inside of the sub-dials is opaline, appearing to change colour in different lights, and the three-dimensional letters and numerals of the calendar indications are laser-engraved in relief, to stand out against their background. Given the emphasis on timekeeping precision, the seconds are indicated on an arc-shaped 20-second scale below the tourbillon aperture – with the three blue hands mounted on the tourbillon cage each measuring a 20-second interval as the tourbillon completes a rotation around its axis every 60 seconds.

The outstanding Master Grande Tradition watch calibres, each comprising multiple complications and several hundred components, epitomise La Grande Maison’s spirit of innovation and devotion to precision. This complexity is complemented by remarkable precision in the decoration and finishing of both movement components and habillage. The new dials of the Master Grande Tradition Calibre 985 are elegant and pure, while the sapphire crystal case back offers a glimpse into true watchmaking mastery.

Well-balanced and highly wearable, its 42mm steel case features the key Polaris design codes: taut lines, sharply curving lugs, a thin bezel, a glass-box crystal, and an eye-catching mix of brushed and polished surfaces. The large crown – a signature of the 1960s model that inspired the contemporary Polaris line – and robust pushers are designed for better grip and ease of use.

OCEAN GREY LACQUER ADDS FRESH ALLURE TO THE SPORTY DIAL

Anchored by the clean, modern lines of the case, the new ocean grey dial is bold and visually striking, thanks to the richness of the lacquer and the contrast of bright orange details that speak to the chronograph’s sportier side.

Complex in construction, the dial is composed of a central disc, a middle ring, to which the hour markers are applied, and an outer ring that is marked with the tachymeter scale. Sunray brushing on the central disc creates a subtle contrast with the smooth gloss of the hours ring; on both sections, the colour of the lacquer is graduated from light to dark, adding great visual depth to the dials. 

The lacquering of the dial components is a lengthy and exacting process, with each layer of coating being applied manually. It begins with the application of a clear coat of varnish, followed by four layers of colour. Then a layer of black is applied to create the gradient effect. The challenge lies in controlling both the shade and the gradient, so that the two main sections of the dial match each other. This is followed by 30 coats of translucent lacquer, to add depth and richness. 

The layout of the Polaris Chronograph dial is timeless and intuitive to read, featuring a central chronograph seconds hand to enable more precise reading of this key measurement. Balanced by the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, the sub-dial at 9 o’clock animates the dial with a running seconds display. The circular graining of these sub-dials adds more visual interest, contrasting with the glossy central dial and the textured finish of the hours ring. Orange accents draw the eye to the key indications and add dynamism to the overall composition. In keeping with the contemporary Polaris design codes, skeletonised hands allow greater visibility of the indications and bold trapezoid-shaped indexes balance the fine detail of the chronograph displays. Luminescent coating on the indexes, numerals and the tips of the hands enhances legibility in all light conditions – an essential attribute for an adventure watch.

HARNESSING A LEGACY OF WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE

The sapphire crystal case-back reveals the automatic movement, Calibre 761 – a quintessential example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s approach to watchmaking that combines high performance with mechanical elegance. Powered by twin barrels, the fully integrated chronograph movement features a column-wheel chronograph mechanism with vertical clutch and offers a 65-hour power reserve. The fine finishing includes blued screws and Côtes de Genève decoration on the baseplate as well as on the signature open-worked winding rotor bearing the ‘JL’ motif. The movement was designed, produced and assembled by Jaeger-LeCoultre at its Manufacture in Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux. 

Underlining its versatile and sporty spirit, the Ocean Grey Polaris Chronograph is presented with two interchangeable straps – one in blue-grey canvas and one in textured black rubber – enabling a change in style and attitude in a matter of moments.

• The new Calibre 391 unites a highly complex chronograph with a moon phase display
• The patented Duometre mechanism ensures remarkable precision
• A new case and dials express contemporary elegance in distinctive style

In 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the ground-breaking Duometre mechanism in the form of a chronograph – the complication that epitomises the concept of precision. In 2024, the Maison applies the Duometre concept in an entirely new timepiece, marrying the high precision of a chronograph with the charm of a celestial complication. Powered by the new Calibre 391, the Duometre Chronograph Moon presents an intriguing contrast between the lightning-fast operation of the chronograph – which can time intervals as small as 1/6^th of a second – and the slow rhythm of the moon as it passes through its cycle in 29.53 days, complemented by a Night and Day display.

At Watches and Wonders 2024, Jaeger-LeCoultre presents the Duometre Chronograph Moon in two variations: a platinum case contrasting with a copper-coloured dial, and a pink gold case offset by the discreet elegance of a silver dial. Both models are enhanced by a hand-stitched alligator strap with small-scale alligator lining.

Solving the Conundrum of Complications

The fundamental problem of complex mechanical watches is that, for any complication to operate, it naturally draws on some of the power provided by the barrel. This disrupts the perfectly regular and constant supply that is required by the meticulously adjusted escapement to fulfil its timekeeping function as precisely as possible.

The search for a solution to this problem at Jaeger-LeCoultre during the early 2000s eventually led to the invention of the Duometre mechanism. Introduced in 2007 and patented by Jaeger-LeCoultre, it features two separate barrels and two independent gear trains – one to drive the escapement (for timekeeping) and one to power the complications – both integrated into a single calibre and linked to a single escapement. For the first time, it was possible to guarantee that the movement’s isochronism (the regularity of its ‘heartbeat’) is not compromised by the operation of any complication.

While the Duometre is revolutionary in modern watchmaking, the underlying principle had, in fact, been explored by the Manufacture more than 120 years earlier; the LeCoultre Calibre 19/20RMSMI was equipped with two barrels and fitted into a pocket watch in 1881. Because that calibre had only one gear train, it did not solve the fundamental problem; nevertheless, it provided a theoretical ‘trigger’ for the Duometre concept.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers and watchmakers chose the chronograph for the first application of the Duometre concept in 2007 as it represented the greatest challenge to accurate timekeeping posed by any complication because its operation requires short bursts of very high power. Since then, the Duometre mechanism has been associated with several other complications, including moon phases, travel time and a tourbillon.

An Entirely New Calibre

For Calibre 391, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers started from the ground up to develop a fully integrated movement that combines a manually wound mono-pusher chronograph with moon phase and night-day complications, as well as two power reserve indicators and a seconde foudroyante (flying second) display.

When the chronograph mechanism is activated, the foudroyante hand begins its whirling dance, making a complete rotation in one second, during which it beats six times – stopping instantaneously when the chronograph timer is stopped and thus providing a reading accurate to 1/6^th of a second.

On the dial side of the Duometre Chronograph Moon, two open-worked sections offer intriguing glimpses of the mechanism, hinting at the mechanical beauty of the calibre. On the reverse side, fully revealed beneath the transparent crystal case-back, much of the movement is open-worked and an array of bridges seems almost to be floating above the levers and wheels, drawing the eye deep into the mechanism. Creating visual unity across the entire expanse of the movement, the bridges are decorated with sunrayed Geneva stripes. It’s a challenging technique that demands absolute precision because the components must be decorated one-by-one, and yet radiate from the centre of the regulating organ to the edge of the calibre in perfect alignment once the movement is assembled.

The open-working of Calibre 391 serves two purposes: not only does it greatly enhance the aesthetics, it also serves a technical purpose, enabling the watchmakers to more easily assemble some parts of this highly complex calibre. This is a fine example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy of marrying mechanics and aesthetics in such a way that each serves the other. Being a manually wound calibre, there is no winding rotor to conceal the chronograph levers.

Traditional Haute Horlogerie finishes abound: crisply bevelled and polished angles define the edges of the bridges; brushed surfaces contrasts with polished metal; perlage on the main plate reflects light back up through the mechanism; and blue screws provide a pleasing contrast to the silvery tones of the metal.

A Fascinating Display and Refined Details

The dial is both elegant and intuitive to read, featuring the distinctive three-counter layout and long, thin hands that make the Duometre so recognisable. Echoing the aesthetic of traditional sector dials, the main dial surface and the centre of each sub-dial has the fine, almost powdery texture achieved by the opaline finish; in contrast, the broad ring encircling each sub-dial is decorated with azuré (ultra-fine engraving in perfectly regular, concentric circles). Adding to the visual appeal, the sub-dials are slightly sunken below the main surface, while the edge of the dial is subtly curved, closely following the contours of the glass box crystal.

Enhancing the symmetry of the layout, the moon phase display is integrated into the chronograph hours and minutes sub-dial, which is set at 3 o’clock. Its blue background is visually balanced by that of the Night and Day display, which is integrated into the time sub-dial at 9 o’clock. Elapsed time is displayed up to 12 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds, accurate to 1/6^th of a second and a tachymeter scale marked around the periphery of the dial enables the wearer to measure speed based on the time taken to travel a fixed distance, or to calculate distance based on speed.

The seconde foudroyante is displayed in a sub-dial at 6 o’clock, flanked by the two open-worked areas that reveal parts of the mechanism. The two power reserves (50 hours for each barrel and gear train) are displayed on an arc-shaped bridge on each side of the sub-dial. Both barrels are wound by a single crown – forwards for the barrel that provides power for the timekeeping function and backwards for the second barrel, which provides power for the complications.

A New Duometre Case: Contemporary Elegance Inspired by Tradition

Marking the launch of three new Duometre models in 2024, Jaeger-LeCoultre has designed an entirely new case for the collection. A contemporary interpretation of the savonette pocket watches created by the Maison in the 19^th-century, its rounded contours are highly tactile as well as visually appealing.  (The French word savonette literally means a small disc of soap with rounded contours that can be cradled in the palm of a hand.) With its convex crystal and gracefully rounded bezel, the new Duometre case expresses this literal definition very well. The crown, too, has been redesigned, with deep and rounded notches that make it a joy to handle. Indeed, the highly polished edges of the lugs are the only sharp lines to be found.

A comfortable 42.5 mm in diameter, the case is a complex structure of 34 separate parts and the lugs are screwed rather than integrated to enable the use of multiple finishing techniques. A mixture of polished, brushed and micro-blasted surfaces creates a fascinating play of light with every movement of the wrist.

With an entirely new calibre, dial and case, the Duometre Chronograph Moon is an eloquent expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s relentlessly creative spirit. It embodies the Maison’s philosophy of combining beauty with technical sophistication, and a deep respect for the traditions of Haute Horlogerie with constant innovation – always with precision at the heart of the matter.

Epitomising the Maison’s commitment to watchmaking excellence, the Master Control takes its name from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s 1,000-Hour Control Certification and was the first watch collection to undergo this rigorous testing protocol – not just of the movement, but of the cased-up watch – which has since become standard for all Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces.

A Refined and Contemporary Aesthetic Inspired by the Maison’s Rich Heritage

With its harmonious proportions and restrained styling, the Master Control collection draws inspiration from the Maison’s emblematic round watches of the 1950s and ’60s, such as the Memovox and Futurematic. The new Master Control Chronograph Calendar with black dial subtly recalls the coloured watch dials of the mid-20^th century, reinterpreting their vintage appeal in confidently contemporary style.

Anchored by the clean, modern lines of the case, myriad refined details highlight the chronograph and calendar displays. The dial is framed by a pulsometric scale marked around the flange (a traditional indication originally developed for physicians to measure patients’ heart rates, and equally relevant for today’s lifestyles), which, in keeping with tradition, is marked in red. Creating a dynamic contrast with the black dial, the red is repeated on each of the three sub-dials and in the day and month windows, drawing the eye to this valuable information.

The indications for the two complications – a complete calendar and a bi-compax chronograph – are balanced in a dial layout that is timeless, straightforward and intuitive to read, despite the complexity of the information shown. The 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock is balanced by the running seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, while the day and month windows in the upper section of the dial are balanced by the circular moon-phase and date indicator at 6 o’clock. The finely textured ‘azurage’ finish on these three sub-dials, and the rich blue of the moon-phase indicator, create a subtle and pleasing contrast to the vibrant black of the sunray-brushed dial, which captures and reflects the light with movements of the wearer’s wrist. Legibility is further enhanced by the contrast between the warm pink gold tone of the Dauphine hands and applied trapezoidal indexes.

Elegant Proportions for the Modern Sophisticate

With its 40-millimetre diameter, outwardly sloping bezel and dynamically curved lugs, the pink gold Master Control case exudes a relaxed and understated elegance. Satin-brushing on the case-sides and lugs is complemented by the polished bezel, crowns and lug bevels. Refined details abound, including bas-relief engravings on the back bezel and a sapphire crystal case-back to reveal the finely finished and decorated movements. Enhancing this timeless style, rectangular chronograph pushers add a purposeful, modern air to the well-proportioned 12.05mm thick case. A black alligator leather strap adds allure to the pink gold case, honouring a classically elegant aesthetic that has been appreciated for many generations.

Technical Complexity Expressed Through Mechanical Elegance

A fine example of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s technically sophisticated and mechanically elegant watchmaking, the Master Control Chronograph Calendar is powered by the automatic Calibre 759. An integrated chronograph movement with a 65-hour power reserve, it features a column-wheel chronograph mechanism with vertical clutch, allied to a triple calendar with moon-phase display.

The fine finishing, visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, includes Côtes de Genève, blued screws, and Jaeger-LeCoultre’s emblematic open-worked gold rotor bearing the ‘JL’ motif. Like all of the Maison’s calibres, the movement was entirely designed, produced, finished and assembled within its own Manufacture at Le Sentier, in Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux.

• The new Calibre 860, entirely designed, produced and assembled within the Manufacture, unites a chronograph with retrograde minutes and a second time display on the reverse dial
• A highly original expression of the chronograph with a modern and timelessly elegant aesthetic

Born in 1931, the Reverso was one of the first wristwatches ever developed specifically for sport – its ingenious swivelling case designed to protect it when worn on the polo field – although its appeal immediately spread far beyond the sporting arena. In 2023, the new Reverso Tribute Chronograph pays tribute to the Reverso’s roots with the quintessential sporting complication – the chronograph. Perpetuating the spirit of inventiveness that has driven Jaeger-LeCoultre for 190 years, and drawing inspiration from the first Reverso Chronograph of 1996, the new Calibre 860 unites a chronograph with a double-sided display of the time.

Contrasting dials marry watchmaking tradition to modern aesthetics

The front dial of the watch bears all of the hallmarks of the Reverso Tribute line, with its baton hour markers, Dauphine hands and peripheral chemin de fer minutes track. The discreet elegance of the sunray-brushed surface gives no hint of the mechanical complexity that lies within; the only clue that there is much more to this timepiece is the presence of chronograph pushers on either side of the winding crown.

The Reverso Tribute Chronograph is presented in both steel and pink gold, complemented by dark blue and black straps respectively. The cool tone of the steel case is complemented by a blue-grey dial – a sophisticated colour achieved by the innovative ADL (atomic layer deposit) process, in which ultra-thin layers of titanium oxide are deposited. The subtle glow of a pure black dial creates a noble contrast to the richness of the pink gold case.

Turning the watch case over reveals the beautifully crafted chronograph mechanism on the reverse side. To showcase the fascinating animation of the chronograph and full complexity of the movement, the dial is entirely skeletonised, the bridges are decorated with Côtes de Genève to create visual unity, and the chronograph seconds and minute tracks are highlighted in black to maximise legibility. Blue screws are matched by the blue of the chronograph hands, underlining the perfect integration of movement and decoration. Enhancing the sense of visual depth, the indications for the second time display – faceted baton indexes and chemin de fer minutes track – appear to be floating above the calibre.

A rich legacy of expertise in complications

The Reverso Tribute Chronograph revisits and reinvents the ground-breaking Reverso Chronographe of 1996. The earlier piece was one of six special Reversos developed in the space of a single decade, each of them designed around an entirely new expression of the great classical watchmaking complications. Starting in 1991, following the 60^th anniversary of the Reverso, these pieces were landmarks in the revival of mechanical watchmaking after the quartz crisis.

The movement of the 1996 Reverso Chronograph, Calibre 829, was not only the first shaped chronograph movement in a rectangular case for Jaeger-LeCoultre but also the first manually-wound integrated chronograph to be developed from scratch in the post-quartz era – a remarkable testament to the Manufacture’s inventiveness and technical prowess.

Calibre 860: a new expression of the chronograph

Adding a fresh chapter to the rich history of complicated calibres conceived and made in the Vallée de Joux, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph is powered by the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 860, a fully integrated hand-wound chronograph movement. Entirely designed, produced and assembled within the Manufacture, it is an elegant and creative answer to the challenge of housing circular chronograph timing indications within a rectangular case, while maintaining the clarity and legibility essential for this sporty complication. Moreover, according to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s approach to product integrity, whereby a movement should be shaped according to the case that houses it, the calibre itself also had to be rectangular. The result is a beautifully balanced and highly distinctive dial layout, with a large chronograph seconds display in the upper part of the dial complemented by a retrograde 30-minute indicator on an arc at the base of the dial.

Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, Calibre 860 incorporates a column wheel chronograph with a horizontal clutch, which was chosen over the more familiar vertical clutch to reduce the overall thickness of the movement. To display hours and minutes on both front and reverse dials, the movement powers two sets of hands that must move in opposite directions to indicate the time in correct clockwise fashion on both faces of the watch. Calibre 860 offers a power reserve of 52 hours, even allowing for the high energy requirement of a retrograde chronograph combined with two time indications. Despite this complexity and no fewer than 300 components, the shaped rectangular movement fully respects Jaeger-LeCoultre’s philosophy of elegance, fitting into a case less than 12mm thick.

Fagliano Collection straps add character and style

The two straps offered with each watch, a signature of the Reverso Tribute line, feature an interchangeable buckle for easy strap changes. In canvas-and-leather and all-leather options, they are designed by the celebrated Argentinian polo bootmaker Casa Fagliano, adding a dash of sporty sophistication while reconnecting the Reverso to its roots in the world of polo.
