Meet The 18K Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph With Gold Bridges

Today, Swiss watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre unveils its latest creation, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph in 18-karat pink gold case with a solid pink gold dial, movement bridges and indexes. It features a new dial decoration that deftly recalls the Art Deco spirit of this reversible watch. A long-awaited masterpiece, the watch, with open-worked dial on one side, is powered by the brand’s highly complex 300-part Caliber 860. Just 250 pieces will ever be made.

A striking interpretation of an iconic timepiece,  the Reverso Tribute Chronograph watch features an engraved front dial that introduces a new finish for the Reverso Tribute line. It shimmers with horizontal lines laser-engraved into the gold surface, enhancing the watch’s Art Deco geometry and emphasizing its sleek, rectangular form. Against the pink gold background, a black outer track adds depth and dimension.

The reverse side of the watch boasts a dial that is open-worked with two counters, silver hands with blue accents and blued screws that add a vibrant touch of color. The polished pink gold indexes appear to float above the exposed movement, demonstrating the Maison’s mastery of watchmaking art. The background of the case, which holds the swiveling movement, is finished with the same horizontal lines as the front dial.

Powering this exquisite timepiece is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 860, a manually wound movement that represents a modern take on the groundbreaking Reverso Chronograph Retrograde of 1996. The Calibre 860 is a fully integrated chronograph movement with a retrograde 30-minute counter, central seconds, and displays the time on both the front and reverse dials.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dedication to technical excellence is evident in the movement’s design, which includes a column-wheel chronograph with a horizontal clutch to keep the case’s profile slim. The movement fits within a case thickness of just 11.14 mm, maintaining the elegance of the Reverso’s classic proportions. On the reverse side, the complexity of the chronograph movement and the intricate mechanics that power this piece are visible.

To complement the watch’s refined appearance, Jaeger-LeCoultre offers two straps: a tan calf leather strap from Casa Fagliano, the celebrated Argentinian polo bootmaker, and a black alligator strap for a more formal look. Both straps can be easily swapped thanks to the quick-release system, allowing wearers to adapt the watch to different occasions. The watch retails for $66,000.
