THE REVERSO DISCOVERY WORKSHOP AND MANUFACTURE VISIT HOW A REVERSO COMES TO LIFE

In 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched a timepiece that was destined to become a classic of 20th-century design: the Reverso.

Today, 90 years after it was born, the Reverso continues to epitomise the spirit of modernity that inspired its creation.

The Reverso Discovery Workshop explores the origins of the Reverso case – from its Art Deco lines to its ingenious swivelling mechanism – then traces its evolution through the decades, as a canvas for artistic expression and a home to high-watchmaking complications.

Participants will dive deep into the Reverso archives and go hands-on with a variety of models. Finally, guided by an expert from the Manufacture, they will take on the unique challenge of assembling more than 50 components to create a Reverso case – a fascinating test of dexterity and patience!

Discovery Workshop participants may deepen their experience by combining it with a Manufacture Visit focused on the Reverso.

The guided Manufacture visit is a unique opportunity to see how the Manufacture’s watchmakers and artisans apply those design principles and technical skills in the day-to-day work of creating a Reverso.
