- The story of the Reverso has become almost mythologised in the collecting sphere. Most know the story about how the original watch came to be, patented by LeCoultre in 1931 for polo players who needed their watches to be protected from the rigors of sport, but perhaps lesser known is what happened to the Reverso in the decades between then and now. Indeed, due to another devastating World War and the resulting changes in fashion and design preferences, a reversible rectangular watch soon fell out of favour much like the Art Deco period it was born in. Jaeger-LeCoultre would attempt to revive the Reverso in the late mid-century, but not to huge success. It wouldn’t be until the 90s where the Reverso as we know it would burst onto the scene, under the direction of the great Günter Blümlein.
