Both Sides Now
Made specifically to order and in limited numbers, the Reverso Tribute Enamel ‘Snake’ watch is a testament to artisanal prowess. It is born from the skills and talents of master enamellers and engravers from the Métiers Rares™ atelier of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Behold, on one side, a striking hand-engraved snake merging from golden clouds, set against a black Grand Feu enamel backdrop. The engraver utilised 10 different chisels just to sculpt this snake, giving it depth. Then, it is hand-drawn with black rhodium to enhance texture and add shade. As for the watch side, JLC’s signature Art Deco-inspired Reverso Tribute dial is also in black Grand Feu enamel. This face is further adorned with faceted appliqué hour-markers, chemin de fer minutes track and Dauphine hands. The pink gold Reverso case here is complemented by a sleek black alligator strap.
