About this item

• Brand: Jaeger-LeCoultre
• Collection: Reverso
• Model: Reverso Grande Taille
• Reference: 270.8.62

There are watches that tell time. And then there’s the Reverso. Developed in 1931 for British polo players whose watch crystals were constantly breaking on the field—Jaeger-LeCoultre’s solution was as simple as it was ingenious: a Reverso case that rotates completely to protect the dial. Nearly 100 years later, this very detail has become a symbol of understated elegance and watchmaking artistry. This Reverso Grande Taille in stainless steel (Ref. 270.8.62) showcases the purist Art Deco dial in its most beautiful form: clear Arabic numerals, blue-burnished hands, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. It is powered by the brand’s in-house hand-wound Caliber 822—ultra-thin, finely finished, and a true example of Swiss-made watchmaking artistry. On the wrist, the Vintage Reverso feels completely different from any sports watch: light, understated, with a presence that connoisseurs recognize immediately. It doesn’t disappear under a cuffed shirt—it complements it.

You buy it because it will be just as timeless in five years as it is today—and in fifty years as well.
