Steel. Hand-wound. Brand new, unworn, and complete full set.
Born in 1931 and defined by a double-sided swivelling case that remains one of watchmaking's most recognisable patents, the Reverso has spent nearly a century proving that a rectangle can outlast every trend thrown at it. The Q3868520 is the reference that brings that heritage back to its purest form: steel, hand-wound, small seconds, and nothing else asked of it.
The case is the mid-size format, measuring 40.1mm x 24.4mm — proportions closely echoing the original 1931 Reverso — and at just 7.56mm thick with a polished finish and signature gadroons across 50 individual case parts, it wears with the restraint the design was always intended to have. This is not a watch that announces itself. It simply sits correctly.
The dial is where this generation earns its place. A newly developed 'coin stack' guilloché texture decorates the centre of both the hour-minute dial and the small seconds display, framed by a vertical brushed finish that catches light in contrast, with stick blued hands and a 'chemin de fer' minute track completing the composition. The effect is quietly architectural — a dial that rewards the second and third look rather than the first.
Inside sits Jaeger-LeCoultre's Calibre 822: manual winding, 21,600vph, 42-hour power reserve, 108 components and 19 jewels, a tonneau-shaped movement just 2.94mm thick and designed explicitly for the Reverso's rectangular format. The daily ritual of winding it is part of the ownership, not a compromise.
And then there is the reverse. The blank caseback remains an open canvas for initials, emblems or personal engraving - the detail that has made the Reverso the default choice for marking a milestone for nearly a hundred years. This example is unengraved and entirely blank, leaving that decision to its next owner.
