Jaeger LeCoultre : Reverso Tribute Enamel Snake

 

A really remarkable and highly desirable timepiece, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel Snake represents the height of creative workmanship and horological competence.

The Reverso Tribute Enamel, which was made at our Atelier des Métiers Rares as a nod to Chinese astrology, provides an excellent backdrop for the snake, which is the 2025 zodiac animal. The deep black dials are Grand Feu enamelled on the front and back. This colour, which is smooth and glossy, is achieved through many enamelling steps and subsequent kiln rounds at 800°C. It took our artisans more than 80 hours to finish the etching of a magnificent snake encircled by flames on the back. The black alligator strap offers the finishing touch of refinement on either side of the finely carved reverse and subtly attractive front. A sophisticated timepiece that prefers the colours black and pink gold.

A Glimpse into History

Need led to the creation of the Reverso. British Army personnel stationed in India in the early 1930s had to deal with the issue of their wristwatches becoming broken by hits when they were playing polo. Swiss entrepreneur and watch lover César de Trey brought this problem to Jacques-David LeCoultre, who worked with French designer René-Alfred Chauvot to come up with a novel solution: a watch with a reversible case.

Key Features:

Reversible Case: The foundation is the recognisable Reverso casing, which allows for two different faces. The time is shown on one face, and a beautiful piece of art is featured on the other.

Grand Feu Enamel: A finely detailed Grand Feu enamel representation of a snake may be found on the back. This age-old method produces a colourful and long-lasting artwork by layering enamel and firing it at high temperatures.

Hand-Engraved Details: Intricate hand engraving frequently adds depth and texture to enamel artwork, further enhancing the snake motif.

In-House Movement: driven by an internal, high-precision mechanical mechanism that guarantees precise timekeeping.

Limited Edition: Usually made in extremely small quantities, this watch is a particularly rare and sought-after item.

Art Deco Inspiration: The case form and gadroons are unmistakable references to the Reverso's Art Deco origins.
