Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Sun Moon - Ref. 240.8.27

We are pleased to offer for sale a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Sun Moon Ref. 240.8.27, presented here in stainless steel on the original navy blue leather strap.

The watch is in immaculate condition, showing minimal signs of wear and preserving crisp lines and sharp case geometry. It is accompanied by its original Jaeger-LeCoultre travel case and manual.

Front Dial:
The primary dial showcases a silvered guilloché face with a vertically brushed outer track and exquisite Clous de Paris texture at its center. Bold black Arabic numerals and blued steel sword hands stand in elegant contrast against the silver backdrop, ensuring excellent legibility and timeless visual balance.

At 6 o’clock, the moonphase and small seconds subdial adds a poetic touch, surrounded by a finely detailed minute track.

Above, between 10 and 11 o’clock, a power reserve indicator marked “Réserve de Marche – 8 Jours” displays the remaining energy of the impressive eight-day manual movement.

A day/night indicator occupies the 2 o’clock position, elegantly labeled “Tour et Nuit,” featuring a rotating disc that transitions from sun to moon as time passes.

This face captures the essence of traditional haute horlogerie while maintaining the geometric harmony that defines the Reverso lineage.

Reverse Dial:
When the case is flipped, the reverse face reveals the movement through a beautifully decorated display. The hand-finished bridges are adorned with Geneva stripes radiating outward like sunrays, and the engraving highlights the technical prowess of the watch: “DUO SPRING-BARRELS” and “TWENTY-FIVE (25) JEWELS”.

At the center, the exposed balance wheel beats rhythmically at 28,800 vph, framed by intricate detailing and polished screw heads.

Case and Strap:
The rectangular stainless steel case measures approximately 29mm x 46mm, embodying the Reverso’s signature Art Deco lines with refined fluting at the top and bottom. The reversible mechanism operates smoothly and precisely, reflecting Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineering excellence.
The watch is fitted with a navy blue Jaeger-LeCoultre leather strap, complementing the steel case with a touch of understated elegance. It fastens with a Jaeger-LeCoultre stainless steel folding clasp, ensuring both security and comfort on the wrist.

Movement:
Inside beats the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 873, a hand-wound mechanical movement with an 8-day power reserve, day/night indicator, moonphase, and small seconds. True to the maison’s standards, the movement is meticulously finished and fully integrated within the reversible construction, driving complications on both sides with remarkable precision.

Summary:
This Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Sun Moon Ref. 240.8.27 in stainless steel is an outstanding example of the brand’s innovation and artistry. Its dual-face design—one classical and poetic, the other technical and revealing—embodies the spirit of the Reverso as both a watchmaking masterpiece and a design icon.

Offered in immaculate condition with its original Jaeger-LeCoultre travel case and manual, this piece stands as a testament to mechanical excellence and enduring style.
