Paying homage to the raison d'être of its famed Reverso - created in 1931 as a sport watch for polo players - Jaeger-LeCoultre releases its Reverso Tribute chronograph. The brand spent years in the research and development stages to create the new Caliber 860 that brings the chronograph movement into the double-sided timepiece. The Reverso is famed for its case that can be slid sideways out of the holder, turned over to reveal a second dial, and slid back into place. The new manual-wind caliber consists of 292 parts and offers chronograph function on one side and hour/minute function on the reverse dial.
