Jaeger LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 Ref. 277.8.62 SS Manual Wind Brand: Jaeger LeCoultre Model Number: 277.8.62 Model: Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute Material: Stainless Steel Function: Time Dial: Black Movement: Manual Case Size: Approximately, 27mm x 46mm Condition: Excellent, some light wear. Please see pictures. Notes: Does not include box or papers. Watch Only. Designed by René-Alfred Chauvot, the Reverso was conceived with the express purpose of being able to withstand the harsh beating a watch would endure during a game of polo. This was put to JLC by entrepreneur César de Trey as a challenge for the brand in 1930. Born the year following in 1931, the Reverso was a sports watch, thanks to its particular use-case. Thanks to its now-classical aesthetic and graceful design, the Reverso has evolved into a modern dress watch. However, in the 1930s, the Reverso needed to be more durable than other available watches; hence its ingenious reversible case was born. This protected the dial from a direct hit and gave the Reverso its name. Over 90 years later and the Reverso’s design lives on as one of the most recognizable in watchmaking. Launched to celebrate the Reverso’s 80th anniversary, the ref. 277.8.62 that we have here stands as a tribute to the 1931 original with the same understated black dial and simple “Reverso” branding, free from any mention of Jaeger Le Coultre, the iconic "watchmaker's watchmaker."
