This model, entirely made in or rose 18Krevisits a legendary design while enriching its character through an innovative use of precious materials.
A rose gold dial with an exclusive pattern
The dial of this special edition immediately attracts attention with its rare elegance. This model abandons the usual shades for a laser-engraved rose gold dial, adorned with horizontal lines reminiscent of a classic instrument, providing a fascinating visual effect. The Jaeger-LeCoultre logo is subtly integrated, letting all the light play on the engraved details. Framed by a black railroad minute track, the dial displays a sober sophistication while delicately highlighting the contrasts.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is distinguished by its double dial, and this model is no exception. The reverse reveals a complex chronograph with rose gold bridges, visible through a meticulously openwork skeleton. The meticulousness of watchmaking reaches its peak here, with polished hour markers that appear to float above the openwork dial. The steel dauphine hands add a sporty touch, while the blue chronograph hands add subtle visual depth.
In the center, the Calibre 860in-house hand-wound movement, operates with remarkable watchmaking precision. This rectangular movement of 292 components, with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and equipped with 38 jewels, ensures a power reserve of 52 hours, a feat for such a refined chronograph.
