Businessman César de Trey brought the idea back to Switzerland, and on 4 March 1931 engineer René-Alfred Chauvot filed the patent for a reversible case: the dial swivels on itself and shelters behind the steel. The Reverso was born – the ultimate Art Deco icon, produced for nearly a century and now one of the most recognisable silhouettes in watchmaking.\nOur example, a Reverso known as the “Classique Medium” ref. 250.8.08 produced circa 2005 (serial number 212xxxx), presents the model in its purest expression: a 23 × 38.5 mm steel case with its signature gadroons, a silver dial with black painted Arabic numerals, a closed blue railway minute track and blued steel sword-shaped hands, beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It is powered by the in-house quartz caliber 608 – just 1.6 mm thick, one of the thinnest movements ever produced by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The watch has been fully inspected by our watchmakers and fitted with a new battery.\nIt is presented on a navy blue alligator strap fastened by a steel Jaeger-LeCoultre deployant buckle, and accompanied by our Steel Warranty Card.\nElegant, timeless and remarkably easy to wear, this Reverso is an ideal gateway into fine watchmaking – and a classic that never goes out of style.","brand":"Jaeger-LeCoultre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54863775629635,"sku":"YT6N","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/1378\/9763\/files\/YT6N-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Classique-Medium-Quartz-en-acier-ref-250808-Front-1.jpg?v=1791201234","url":"https:\/\/amplitudewatches.co\/en\/products\/jaeger-lecoultre-reverso-classique-medium-quartz-in-steel-ref-250-8-08-yt6n","provider":"Amplitude","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
