The Reverso Squadra is equipped with new-generation Jaeger-LeCoultre
movements, which have been created to perform to the highest standards
of precision and efficiency thanks to their extraordinary technical
sophistication. To this end, the rotor at the heart of the movement is
mounted on ceramic rather than stainless-steel ball bearings, with the
result that the system requires neither maintenance nor lubrication.
Another distinguishing feature is that the precision setting is
carried out by means of four screws, thereby rendering the index
superfluous, and the two ends of the balance-spring are laser-welded
to the piston and the collet. These technical advances have been made
possible by the Manufacture's unique and well-known commitment to
carrying out the production of every single component of its watches
under its own roof. This limited edition of the Reverso Squadra
Chronograph Worldtime comes in titanium. As the Reverso's
revolutionary reversible case was being patented in the 1930s, Jaeger-
LeCoultre's engineers were simultaneously at work on two Reverso-
related designs which were differentiated principally by their
contrasting case shapes. The first was rectangular and went on to
leave an indelible mark on the history of 20th-century watchmaking.
The second design, by contrast, which was square, remained a secret:
it was felt that the time was not yet ripe to introduce a timepiece of
such uncompromisingly modern proportions. Three-quarters of a century
later, however, that time has come and Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled
the square Reverso. Every bit as authentic a Reverso as its celebrated
rectangular brother, the Squadra gives a thoroughly masculine
expression to all of the classic characteristics of the legendary
reversible watch. The Reverso Squadra is the ideal horological
companion for the modern man, ready and able to adapt to
circumstances, and a perfect companion whether its owner is occupied
with sporting activities or business trips abroad. The simple truth of
its heredity is written all over its face, which bears the classic
beading that is the hallmark of the Reverso's long lineage. The
Manufacture's master-watchmakers have endowed the Squadra with Jaeger-
LeCoultre's new-generation mechanical movements and have found
ingenious technical solutions to adapt them to the square shape of the
case. In every respect the beauty of the watch's form serves the
mechanism's improved functionality. Consideration of the user's
pleasure has determined every aspect of the watch's design, right down
to the last detail, with the result that content and container, so to
speak, are in perfect harmony. As a single look at the watches will
tell you, the designers have taken great pleasure in producing a
series of incomparable variations on the theme of a perfectly
proportioned square face. The most remarkable of the
Reverso Squadras so far, the World Chronograph combines chronographic
functions on its front face with a universal time - or Worldtime
display on its back. That it also boasts a reversible case in
titanium a material that is tremendously difficult to cut and finish
is quite a feat too: indeed, it's a first for a Reverso. The high-
contrast face is embellished with white figures and subsidiary dials
at 3, 6 and 9, respectively for the chronograph, the small seconds and
the 24-hour indicator. The large light-on-dark date display occupies a
further aperture at 12. But it is only when its owner flips the
legendary reversible case over that the Reverso Squadra World
Chronograph really reveals its originality: for here the self-winding
mechanical movement indicates Worldtime. A disc bearing the name of a
major city in each of the world's timezones turns inside a 24-hour
collar which means that, at a glance, the wearer can find the current
time in any given part of the globe. A transparent disc placed over
the cities' names serves as a day/night indicator. The
audacious construction of the movement allows for the centralization
of energy and its transmission to the watch's second face. Wrought
with audacity and dedicated to the world of accomplishments and feats,
the Reverso Squadra World Chronograph is available in a limited
edition of 1,500. Perfectly embodying the values of the Manufacture
and the qualities that are essential to the kinds of timepiece one
never parts company with, the Reverso Squadra represents the watch of
the future. Since 1833, when the inventive Charles Antoine
LeCoultre established this venerable watchmaker, it has produced some
of the most outstanding and innovative timepieces. It wasn't until
1931, however, that the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand rose to international
fame. It was then that the Reverso - an ingenious reversible watch -
was unveiled to the public.
