Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface Origin quartz silver dial steel bracelet 32,5 x 16,3 mm

Reverso Classic: Timeless Elegance in a Feminine Form

Born in 1931 to meet a sporting challenge, the Reverso was imagined for British polo players: its patented reversible case (CH159982) protected the crystal from shocks while preserving its refined silhouette. Very soon, it left the playing fields to become an Art Deco icon, recognized for its geometric lines and instantly identifiable double-face design.

In the 1930s, Jaeger-LeCoultre began creating Reverso watches for women — wristwatches, clips, and pendants — opening a new field of expression where delicacy meets graphic precision. The Reverso Classic Monoface Origin pays direct tribute to this heritage: it reintroduces a historic 32.5 × 16.3 mm size, directly inspired by the very first Reverso for women of 1931. Designed for slender wrists, it blends timelessness and modernity in a silhouette of remarkable purity.

Faithful to the spirit of personalization that has always defined the Reverso, its polished solid back becomes a true canvas for engraving or lacquering — with up to 1,880 possible combinations — allowing each Reverso to be transformed into a unique creation.

The Beauty of Polished Steel

In this steel-on-steel version (Q3878120), the Reverso Classic Monoface Origin embodies the very essence of Art Deco style as envisioned by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Its finely crafted polished steel case pairs perfectly with a polished-and-satin-finished steel bracelet composed of articulated links that gently follow the curve of the wrist.
This visual continuity between case and bracelet lends the watch a luminous, harmonious, and contemporary presence while emphasizing the geometric precision of its lines.

The silvered dial, emblematic of the Classic collection, combines two signature textures: a sunray guilloché motif at the center and a vertically brushed finish around the periphery.
This interplay of finishes creates subtle reflections, where each movement of the wrist reveals a new nuance of light. Transferred Arabic numerals and a railway minute track enhance legibility, while the blued hands add contrast and timeless elegance.

Like every Reverso, the reversible case conceals a polished solid back ready to be personalized with engraving or lacquer. A symbol of self-expression, it turns each watch into a unique creation — a bearer of memories and emotion.

The perfect alliance of metal and light, this steel Reverso Classic Monoface Origin embodies effortless elegance — at once urban and timeless — the purest expression of modern femininity according to Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Movement: Everyday Precision

Beneath its apparent simplicity, the Reverso Classic Monoface Origin conceals the mechanical rigor and uncompromising reliability that characterize Jaeger-LeCoultre.
It is powered by a high-precision quartz movement, designed to provide absolute comfort of use and extended autonomy while maintaining an impeccable level of finishing and quality.

This discreet motorization reflects the philosophy of the Maison: to create watches as refined as they are practical, where the mastery of time serves the beauty of the gesture. With its slim 7.9 mm case and 3-bar water resistance, the Classic Monoface Origin accompanies its wearer through everyday life with the same grace it brings to special occasions.

The combination of artisanal savoir-faire and contemporary technology enables this creation to preserve the essence of the original model while adapting to modern expectations.
True to the Reverso spirit — the alliance of form, function, and grace — this Origin edition perfectly embodies the Maison’s motto: “The beauty of the watchmaking gesture.”
