Jaeger-Lecoultre presents the two new Reverso One Duetto Jewellery models featuring diamond-set cases made of 18K pink gold. These ladies’ watches illustrate the union of Fine Watchmaking and High Jewellery down to the smallest detail.
The case of the new Reverso One Duetto Jewellery is entirely set with diamonds. One model is complemented by a shiny black leather strap and the other by a pink gold bracelet entirely set with diamonds.
In 1997, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Reverso Duetto, featuring two back-to-back dials, each with a set of hands driven by a single movement but turning in opposite directions in order to display the same time correctly on both sides.
The new Reverso One Duetto Jewellery models house the hand-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 844. Entirely developed and produced within the Manufacture, it offers 50 hours of power reserve.
These new JLC watches present the Duetto dial concept in a new and uncommon gem-setting. Each timepiece is adorned with 335 grain-set diamonds that cover the entire case-back and wrap seamlessly around its curved sides to frame the dial, emphasised by the inverted diamond set into the crown.
On the front, the watch displays a silvered sunray dial with a delicately finished guilloché decoration. It has all emblematic elements of the Reverso One models, such as golden brackets in each corner, the applied Arabic hour numerals and hour markers, and the Dauphine hands.
The reverse side features an eye-caching black dial enhanced by Art Deco-style gold hour markers. Sprinkled across a background of glossy black lacquer, tiny gold flakes seem to form clusters of light particles, their radiance echoing the brilliance of the diamonds that adorn the case.
The high-jewellery version with a diamond-set bracelet is really breathtaking. It is for the first time that the case, bracelet attachment and bracelet links of a Reverso One have been fully gem-set. This pink gold timepiece is adorned with 719 diamonds: 335 for the case and 384 for the bracelet.
To create the case and bracelet of the new Reverso One Duetto Jewellery, the gemsetters in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Métiers Rares workshop used the grain-setting technique, anchoring the diamonds with tiny, almost invisible gold beads that give the precious stones an unparalleled sparkle.
