Inspired by the Reversos created in the late 30’s, the Reverso Classic is the traditional expression of the rectangular icon. Its swivelling concept turns the reverse side into a second expression of time either with a second time-zone (Duoface) or simply another style (Duetto).

Featuring the original three-lined gadroons and 12 Arabic numerals, two-tone finished dials, and sword hands, the Reverso Classic offers a timeless design. Elevating its aesthetic codes, the inside of the cradle is finished with a circular graining, resembling the refined finishes that are also done on its calibre.

In 1930, businessman César de Trey was challenged to find a way to protect the glass of a watch for polo players during matches. de Trey’s idea was inspired; a case that could be flipped over. He approached his friend Jacques-David LeCoultre to produce the watch and the pair engaged René-Alfred Chauvot to design it. And so the Reverso was born.
