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 can be flipped, thereby protecting the dial. It's an iconic design that elevated both the maison's repository and the watchmaking world's prominence.
Reverso Duoface 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 second-time zone complication. Here, we have reference Q3848422, 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 front silver dial carries Arabic numeral hour markers, blue hands, a small seconds sub-dial at six o'clock, and an inner chapter ring. On the reverse side, we find another beautiful dial with a second-time zone and 12-hour display.
While classic in design, Q3848422 is the brand's expression of modern luxury, comprising a 28mm stainless steel case supported by a leather strap and the calibre 854A. Highly reliable, this Swiss mechanical, manually wound movement beats at a frequency of 21,600bph. A 42-hour power reserve is the final element of this charming timepiece.
This Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface Q3848422 comes in overall good condition. Its leather strap, however, shows a satisfactory form.
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.
