One of the most beloved vintage classic watches, and still so relevant today – the pre-owned Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso at Mostra Aix-en-Provence.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique, reference 250.8.86, is a pre-owned watch for men or women and a true icon of fine watchmaking. Originally designed for polo players, this model stands as one of the most emblematic classic watches of the 20th century. Available at Mostra in Aix-en-Provence, this pre-owned piece offers the perfect blend of elegance, functionality, and horological heritage. The 23 mm reversible stainless steel case is the most distinctive feature of the Reverso. This ingenious mechanism was created to protect the dial during polo matches while offering a customizable surface on the reverse side. The silver dial features applied black Arabic numerals, providing a sharp contrast for optimal readability. The minute track adds a classic touch, while the blued sword-shaped hands bring subtle and refined elegance.

This timepiece houses the JLC 846 calibre, a hand-wound mechanical movement. This movement showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre’s horological expertise, offering a 38-hour power reserve for practical everyday use. With 18 jewels and a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, this calibre ensures outstanding precision and reliability—hallmarks of the brand's craftsmanship.

The Reverso Classique comes on a brown ostrich leather strap that pairs beautifully with the stainless steel case. The strap is fitted with an original signed JLC buckle, ensuring not only a comfortable fit but also a touch of authenticity and prestige. The warm brown leather adds depth and sophistication, making this watch suitable for both formal and casual settings.

In terms of Historical Value and Collectibility, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is far more than just a watch—it is a living testimony to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s pioneering genius. Designed in the 1930s to meet the needs of British polo players in India, the Reverso has transcended decades while maintaining its charm and relevance.
