Rhodium-plated hands with red baton-type openworked hand.<br><br>The
Reverso Squadra Hometime Black in its steel case features the perfect
intelligibility one expects from the ideal travel watch. It precludes
any confusion by being equipped with the exclusive Hometime/Travel
time system, developed and patented by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The reference
time is displayed by a red openworked hand serving as an immediate
reminder of the time in one's place of residence. A rectangular
aperture at 9 o'clock displays the indispensable am/pm indication to
help the user find his way through the maze of time zones, while the
symmetrically arranged opening directly opposite at 3 o'clock is
dedicated to the travel time.<br><br>Driven by the mechanical Jaeger-
LeCoultre Calibre 977 movement, the Reverso Squadra Hometime Black
features a number of technical innovations reinforcing its ruggedness
and reliability: a balance-bridge screwed on either side to the
mainplate to ensure enhanced stability, as well as two catches to
avoid any distortion of the mainspring even in the case of violent
impacts. The Reverso Squadra Hometime Black thus plays its way across
time zones and continents, traveling the world in step with polo
seasons and competitions: from Argentina and summer in the southern
hemisphere, to hard-fought matches on the playing fields of England.
<br> 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.
