As the name suggests, the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin has a remarkably thin case of 7 mm and pays homage to Jaeger-LeCoultre's 1931 sports model. It was launched in 2011 to mark the 80th anniversary of the Reverso model. Originally developed for polo players, it has a classic reversible 18 K rose gold case that provides protection for the crystal and dial. In recent years, the Reverso has become one of the most sought-after classic wristwatches. The extremely attractive two-tone silver-plated dial has a lively stripe decoration in the centre and blued steel hands. The watch is powered by the JLC Calibre 822 - a robust companion with manual winding and a 38-hour power reserve.
