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 Duo honours the watch's storied history while elevating it with a contemporary spin. It comes with dials on both sides, the reserve one flaunting a GMT complication. Here we have reference Q3742421, which proudly carries the elements 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, a small seconds sub-dial at six o'clock, a date window at 12, and an inner chapter ring. On the reverse side is another beautiful dial with a second-time zone, a 12-hour display, and a practical day-night indicator.

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.
