Created By Jacques-david Lecoultre In 1931, The Reverso Was Initially Designed To Withstand The Harsh Knocks A Watch Would Take During A Polo Match. The Need To Make The Watch More Resistant Meant That The Genius Of The Reverso Was Revealed Through Its Namesake Design: A Reversible Case. By Being Able To Flip The Case Back On Itself, The Reverso’s Dial Could Be Protected During The Sport And Returned To Its Natural Position With A Quick Movement. Thanks To Its Iconic Heritage, The Reverso Has Evolved Into One Of Jaeger Lecoultre’s Most Important Design Vehicles To Date, With A Good Number Of Contemporary Variations To Satisfy The Palate Of Modern Enthusiasts And Connoisseurs.
Here We Present A Rare Variant Of The Reverso That Debuted In 2011: The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Edizione Speciale Italica, Ref. 277.8.62. 2011 Marked 80 Glorious Years Of Watchmaking For The Maison And The 150th Anniversary Of The Unification Of Italy. To Celebrate And Pay Homage To These Important Anniversaries, Jlc Has Created Two Versions Of This Particular Variant Especially For The Italian Market. One In Rose Gold, Limited To Just 50 Pieces, And The Steel Variant We Are Offering You Today, Limited To 150 Pieces.
I Think The Most Unique Element Of This Reference Is The Dial. It Features All The Aesthetic Codes Of The Historic Reverso From The 1930s Along With Some Contemporary Design Touches, Such As The Beautiful Vertical Guilloché Decoration, The Very Sober Arabic Numerals And The Beautiful Blued Hands. At 8 O'clock, A Red "r" With The Word "reverso" Forming Its Stem Has Been Used To Replace The Conventional "8", Which Also Serves As An Indication Of The Octoginta Number (i.e. 80). The Red Accent Has Also Been Used To Recall The Exclusive Limited Editions Created Specifically For The Italian Market Before This Reference, Namely The Master Ultra Thin Italica And The Reverso 976 Italica.
Powering This Exquisite Work Of Art Inside The Elegant 46mm X 27mm Stainless Steel Case Is The Ultra-thin, In-house Hand-wound Jlc Caliber, Measuring Just 2.94mm Thick, Featuring 21 Jewels, Beating At 21,600 Bph And Boasting An Impressive 45-hour Power Reserve. 822 Movement, Measuring Just 2.94mm Thick, Featuring 21 Jewels, Beating At 21,600 Bph And Boasting An Impressive 45-hour Power Reserve.
Overall, This Is A Stunning Timepiece That Beautifully Encapsulates The Maison’s Aim To Showcase Authentic Craftsmanship, As Well As The Desire To Celebrate Two Very Important Occasions In The Watchmaking History Of The Manufacture And Italy. Due To Its Rarity, Heritage-focused Design, And Striking Aesthetics, The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Italico Is Undoubtedly One Of The Most Sought-after Variations Of The Grande Reverso Today.
