The new Reverso Tribute Chronograph features an hour-minute display on its two dials with contrasting and complementary styles. The front dial displays the aesthetic codes of the Tribute line. Turning the watch case over reveals a meticulously skeletonized dial that unveils every detail of the new Manufacture Calibre 860 and the mechanical complexity of the retrograde chronograph. Two interchangeable straps in canvas-and-leather or all-leather options, designed by the celebrated Argentinian polo boot maker Casa Fagliano, add a dash of sporty sophistication while reconnecting the Reverso to its roots in the world of polo.

Under its veil of 167 diamonds, the 101 Feuille watch for women in pink gold combines watchmaking expertise and jewelry excellence, a tradition at Jaeger-LeCoultre. Since 1929, the Calibre 101 is a symbol of the unique expertise of the watchmakers of La Grande Maison and has stood out in terms of its mastery of absolute miniaturisation. ©Trish Valicenti for The Gourmet Gazette. https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/ww-en
