Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso Florale quartz 20,7 x 33 mm 2003

A myth

Initially designed in 1931 for British Army polo players in the Indian colonies, the Reverso watch would very quickly rise to the rank of watchmaking icon and exert its seduction far beyond the polo fields. As early as 1931, a ladies' model adopted this Art Deco-inspired reversible case concept and opened the way to a whole universe of aesthetic creativity, a world in which watches became jewelry in their own right...

Since its creation, through various versions, the Reverso watch has managed to become multiple while remaining unique. Today, it remains the signature model of Manufacture horlogère Jaeger-LeCoultre, one of the world's most renowned for the quality, precision and style of its watches.

What you need to know

The model we're offering today is a bit special. It's a Reverso Lady Florale: an unprecedented watch that expresses the very essence of the Reverso watch personality, a marriage of tradition and nobility, an alliance of style and elegance. With delicate dimensions, this watch is a tribute to its illustrious 1931 predecessor, but displays rethought proportions, all feminine.

All the aesthetic codes of the Reverso can be found here, but sublimated in this ultra-flat, feminine declination. The proportions of the case, the gadroons, the minute track, the numerals and hands remain faithful to the Reverso spirit, while asserting itself as resolutely "feminine", with this fabulous two-tone, satin-finish dial, which gives this watch a new face, a new character, a new seduction. Wearing the Reverso Florale is the expression of a certain vision of luxury, glamour and high-end watchmaking. We particularly appreciate the light typography of the hour-markers, the polished 5-mesh steel bracelet and the two lines of diamonds that accentuate its "jewel-like" look to elegantly mark its femininity.

This reference 265.8.08 is powered by a Jaeger-LeCoultre quartz caliber: the JLC 608. This movement, which performs the hour-minute functions, was launched in 1982 and, at the time of its release, was Jaeger-LeCoultre's thinnest watch movement at just 1.6 mm thick! A feat that continues to reinforce the legend of the Manufacture, often dubbed "The watchmaker's watchmaker"!
