We are pleased to offer for sale a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille Ref. 270.8.62, presented here in stainless steel and fitted with a beautifully matched brown ostrich leather strap.

A quintessential expression of the Reverso’s timeless Art Deco design, this Grande Taille model offers elegant proportions, refined craftsmanship, and understated sophistication—hallmarks of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s heritage.

Dial:
The dial features a white center framed by a vertically brushed outer track, creating a striking play of textures that captures light beautifully. The black Arabic numerals and blued steel sword hands stand out crisply against the silver backdrop, ensuring excellent readability and classic balance.

At 6 o’clock, a small seconds subdial provides an additional touch of symmetry and depth. The overall design maintains the perfect harmony and geometric precision that define the Reverso line, exuding both refinement and timeless elegance.

Case:
Crafted in stainless steel, the rectangular case measures approximately 26mm x 42mm, embodying the signature aesthetic that has made the Reverso an enduring icon since its inception in 1931. The case features the collection’s signature horizontal gadroons and a polished finish that enhances its sculptural form.

True to the Reverso tradition, the reversible case mechanism operates with smooth precision, allowing the wearer to flip the case to reveal a solid steel caseback—ideal for personalization or to preserve the dial during active wear. The case remains sharp, with defined edges and excellent overall condition.

Strap:
This example is elegantly paired with a brown ostrich leather strap, adding warmth and texture to the polished steel case. The natural grain of the strap complements the Reverso’s Art Deco lines while enhancing its vintage charm. It is fitted with a Jaeger-LeCoultre stainless steel double-fold deployant clasp, ensuring both security and comfort on the wrist.

Movement:
Powering the Reverso Grande Taille is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 822, a hand-wound mechanical movement developed and manufactured entirely in-house. This finely finished caliber is celebrated for its robustness, reliability, and precision—qualities that define Jaeger-LeCoultre’s reputation as the “watchmaker’s watchmaker.”

The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 45 hours, with a beautifully smooth winding action and crisp operation of the crown.

Summary:
This Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille Ref. 270.8.62 represents the purest expression of the Reverso design ethos—elegant, balanced, and impeccably crafted. Its harmonious dial, polished steel case, and warm brown ostrich strap create a timeless aesthetic suitable for any occasion.

An enduring symbol of sophistication, this piece captures the essence of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s artistry and mechanical excellence in a form that remains as relevant today as it was at its debut.
