In the realm of haute horlogerie, few complications command as much reverence as the minute repeater—a mechanism that doesn’t simply display time, but speaks it aloud.
When such a horological pinnacle is fused with the legendary Reverso design by Jaeger-LeCoultre, the result is not a watch you wear—it’s an experience you live through.
The Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater is not just a timekeeping instrument. It is a poetic composition measuring 51.1 × 31 × 12.6 mm, crafted from 18-karat rose gold, blending the spirit of British polo fields with cutting-edge acoustic mastery.
The front dial stuns in a rich teal flinqué enamel, featuring a barley-seed guilloché pattern meticulously engraved by hand—a process that takes 12 hours within JLC’s Métiers Rares atelier. Flip it over, and the reverse side reveals the mechanical symphony of calibre 953: a skeletonized movement that beats with both precision and aesthetic harmony.
The sound produced by this timepiece is no accident—it’s the result of seven patented innovations. Crystal gongs ensure brilliant resonance, while the silent interval elimination system allows for a continuous, fluid musical flow. This timepiece doesn’t chime—it sings.
What truly sets this Reverso apart is its dual-faced functionality. Unlike most minute repeater watches, which typically sacrifice the second dial for open movement architecture, this model displays time on both sides—uniting beauty and utility in equal measure.
Paired with a black alligator leather strap featuring a micro-adjustable clasp refined to 0.5 mm increments, the watch conforms perfectly to the wrist—yet never blends in. It commands presence, both visually and emotionally, like a wearable masterpiece that knows its worth.
Priced at $299,000, this horological marvel is limited to just 30 pieces worldwide, available exclusively through selected Jaeger-LeCoultre boutiques and authorized retailers.
