THE REVERSO STORIES BOUTIQUE EXHIBITION VISIT TIMELESS STORIES SINCE 1931

The Reverso Stories Exhibition explores the creative and cultural universe of this exceptional design through four themes, leading visitors on a journey through 90 years of timeless modernity.

The journey begins with the Story of an Icon, retelling the tale of the Reverso’s origins through rarely seen archive materials and heritage documents from the Jaeger-LeCoultre collection, and a selection of milestone Reverso watches, from the first 1931 model to the latest Reverso Tribute piece.

A Story of Style & Design examines the Art Deco roots of the Reverso. Visitors will discover how, following the principles of Art Deco design, the distinctive rectangular form of the watch was dictated by the original concept – that the case should flip over. 

A Story of Innovation explores how the Reverso embodies Jaeger-LeCoultre’s eternally inventive quest for technical advancement. 

The Story of Craftsmanship celebrates the skills of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s enamellers, gem-setters, engravers and guillochage masters, revealing how they have unleashed the full potential of the Reverso as a canvas for artistic expression and personalised messages.

We also invite guests to discover a traditional decoration technique, Perlage, also called circular graining, by practicing it at the Exhibition with the help of an ambassador from Jaeger-LeCoultre. This finishing technique consists of juxtaposing small circles to embellish the movement’s main plate, for example. The gesture must truly be mastered since, depending on the pressure exerted, the final rendering of the pearls may be different.

At the end of the visit, a special collection of cakes and pastries create by French Chef Nina Métayer, invites guests to experience the world through different flavours, as well as to enjoy pastry that has been elevated to a finely handcrafted art form.
