Jaeger-LeCoultreThis Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso à Éclipses is a manual-wind wristwatch produced as part of a limited edition of 25 pieces to mark the 75th anniversary of the Reverso line.
The timepiece features an 18K rose gold case with the characteristic swiveling architecture of the Reverso model. A distinctive mechanical feature is the integrated slider on the case that operates an internal shutter system, allowing the dial to transition between different displays by revealing a concealed secondary dial. The hidden dial is composed of Grand Feu enamel with a 24-hour display. The watch is presented on a brown alligator leather strap secured by a signed 18K rose gold deployant buckle.
The object is accompanied by its Certificate of Origin, accompanying pamphlets, and a Jaeger-LeCoultre branded cleaning cloth.

- Dial and Decorative Craft
- The dial side utilizes a concealed Grand Feu enamel display produced by the manufacture’s in-house enameling atelier. This interior dial features a graphic 24-hour display executed in black and white, providing a visual contrast to the rose gold case. The shutters provide the functionality to gradually reveal or hide the enamel work, which allows for multiple configurations of the dial.
- Provenance and Documentation
- This specific piece is identified as number 18 within its limited production run of 25 examples. The watch is provided as a complete set, including its original production documentation and accessories. The accompanying materials include the Certificate of Origin, supplementary pamphlets, and a cleaning cloth, all of which support the provenance and technical specifications of this specific timepiece.
- Case and Mechanical Architecture
- The watch is housed in an 18K rose gold case that retains the established swiveling architecture of the Reverso collection, originally designed to protect the crystal during athletic activities. A mechanical shutter system is integrated directly into the case, operated by a slider located on the side. This mechanism allows the wearer to retract the shutters to transition between the exterior dial and the hidden interior dial, effectively creating a watch with two distinct visual presentations.
