Jaeger-LeCoultre Initially Introduced The Reverso Line In 1931 For British Army Officers Playing Polo In India - The Case Was Made To Swivel To Protect The Dial While Playing. Today, The Reverso Is Regarded As A Gem Of High Horology. Its Art Deco Design, Sophisticated Dial, And Swivel Gimmick Make It Highly Coveted And A Sure Conversation Starter.
This Particular Timepiece Was Specially Made For Wempe, The Famous German Retailer, To Celebrate Their 120th Anniversary. Only 120 Of These Pieces Where Ever Made, Making This A Truly Rare Gem For Collectors And Enthusiasts Alike. The Timepiece Comes With Original Paperwork, Booklets, Pamphlets, And Sleeves Making It A Truly Desirable Set. The Watch Is Fitted With An Original Wempe Bracelet The Retailer Was Applying As A Secondary Strap At The Time - The Timepiece Also Comes With The Original JLC Red Leather Strap Unique To This Custom Reference Configuration.
The Reference We Have For Sale Today Has Been Unpolished Throughout The Course Of Its Life As Far As Our Experts Opinion Goes - Showing Signs of Wear But Still Readily Pristine With A Simple Touch-Up Should It Be Desired. The Crystal And The Dial Show No Signs Of Wear, While The Case And Its Multiple Faces Show Minor Signs Of Wear Through Micro Scratches. Overall, Nothing Is Deep Or Visually Repulsive. It Is Truly Remarkable That It Has Been Maintained In Its Original Form To This Extent Without Having Any Glaring Visual Blemishes.
