History & Significance
The Reverso was first introduced in 1931, born from a request by British polo players in India who needed a watch that could withstand the rigors of the sport. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers responded with a groundbreaking reversible case design, allowing the dial to be flipped over for protection.
Over the decades, the Reverso has evolved into a symbol of Art Deco sophistication and mechanical ingenuity. The Ref. Q7168420 continues this legacy in a contemporary format, featuring a clean white dial, manual-wind movement, and the classic steel case with perfectly balanced proportions. Its understated design pays tribute to the original while embracing modern craftsmanship and finishing.
