Except not quite, because the Reverso, as you well know, is reversible. Bored of the beautiful yet austere dial? Flip the case and you’re treated to a view that no other watch presented: a tourbillon visible without taking off the watch. The caliber 828, again in gold, not only houses this magnificent array, but also squeezes in a power reserve, especially handy for such a greedy little complication like the tourbillon.
Only 500 examples of this watch exist and that’s pretty incredible. You don’t get a whole lot of use as a watchmaking business out of a rectangular movement design, yet here is one in gold with a tourbillon, to be built just 500 times.
So, tourbillon? Went too big too soon and ran out of room? You’d like to think so, but this is Jaeger-LeCoultre we’re talking about here, so have some respect! Well, there’s still the daddy of complications to squeeze inside a Reverso case that … no, there’s no way Jaeger-LeCoultre managed to cram a minute repeater into one of these, surely? Well, they did, in 1994, with the caliber 943.
