Perhaps no watchmaker has a trophy case as full<br />

as Jaeger-LeCoultre. This prestigious manufacture<br />

has, through its history, perfected the<br />

manufacturing of distinctive and complex movements<br />

and timepieces admired the world over. This past June,<br />

the brand added yet another award as Grande Reverso<br />

986 Duodate was honoured as Watch of the Year in the<br />

€3000-10.000 price range category by 00/24 Horloges<br />

Magazine.<br />

A limited edition in the classic Reverso collection, the<br />

Grande Reverso 986 Duodate was created with a 31.3<br />

mm wide by 52 mm high case produced in only 2000<br />

pieces, 500 pieces in 18k pink gold and an additional<br />

1,500 stainless steel. <strong>The</strong> watch has two faces, the first<br />

of which displays the main time zone with date and seconds<br />

against an intricately designed silver Clou-de-Paris<br />

hobnail pattern standing out against a surrounding vertical<br />

guilloche area.<br />

Swivel the watch back and it reveals an equally beautiful<br />

display inspired by the Art Deco style of the 1930s,<br />

the birth period of the Reverso collection. This dial<br />

features a day and night indicator and<br />

is elegantly accentuated with a<br />

black velvet finish, all powered<br />

by the manually<br />

wound Calibre 986<br />

movement.
