Jaeger-LeCoultre cleverly toes the line between classic and contemporary, presenting a design that transcends fads and complements tastes of all kinds.
Why we love it
During the 1930s, British officers stationed in India faced a peculiar problem with their watches. While playing polo, strokes of a mallet would often break and damage the face of their timepieces. Picking up the challenge, Jaeger-LeCoultre developed a wristwatch that stylishly resolved the issue. The solution — Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. An elegant-looking creation with a kinetic case that could be flipped, thereby protecting the dial. An iconic design that elevated both the maison’s repository and the watchmaking world’s prominence.
Reverso Classic Duetto honours the watch’s storied history while elevating it with a contemporary spin. It comes with dials on both sides, each flaunting a distinct style. Here we have reference Q2668120, which in essence, appears to be a direct descendant of the original model. Case in point — the very sophisticated and androgynous case with signature grooves on the top and the bottom. The silver dial carries Arabic numeral hour markers, blue hands, and an inner chapter ring. On the reverse side is another beautiful off-centre dial whose beauty is enhanced by the presence of shimmery diamonds on the case.
While classic in terms of design, Q2668120 is the brand’s expression of modern luxury, as such comprising a 20mm stainless steel case supported by a steel bracelet. Highly reliable, a Swiss mechanical, manually-wound movement completes this watch.
Please note there are minor scratches on the case and case back of this Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duetto. The bracelet and clasp also bear some light nicks.
Provenance
At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
