The reference Q2508412 embodies the modern, time-only purity of the Reverso lineage, scaling the iconic 1931 design to classic dress watch proportions. This "Classique" model adheres strictly to the Art Deco grammar of its predecessors, featuring a silver guilloché dial and a clean two-hand display for hours and minutes.
Its 38.5mm x 23.1mm case is a direct nod to the more modest sizing of vintage rectangular timepieces. Horological integrity is provided by the JLC Calibre 846/1, a manually-wound, ultra-thin forme movement purpose-built by the manufacture for this specific case architecture.
Since its founding in Switzerland's Vallée de Joux in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre, Jaeger-LeCoultre has established itself as a true manufacture, bringing nearly every aspect of watchmaking under one roof. This comprehensive in-house capability has earned it the esteemed title of "the watchmaker's watchmaker," as it historically supplied movements to many other prestigious brands.
The brand's portfolio is defined by both profound technical mastery and iconic design. Jaeger-LeCoultre is responsible for horological milestones such as the Calibre 101, which remains the world's smallest mechanical movement, and the near-perpetual Atmos clock, powered by minute changes in ambient temperature. Perhaps its most recognizable creation is the Reverso, a watch born from the need for a durable timepiece for polo players in 1931, which features a unique swiveling case that has become a celebrated icon of Art Deco design.
