DESCRIPTION
- Reverso Squadra, a unique watch, chosen by time’s own hand.
2006 is the year of the Reverso – and of Reverso surprises. Featuring sophisticated design embellishments, brand-new technical features and, above all, a new shape, the Squadra is a Reverso with a square case. Conceived with men in mind, its exceptionally powerful design combines strength, elegance, sturdiness and – last but by no means least – the absolute reliability that characterises all Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces. Its easily readable, useful functions have been specially developed for the twenty-first-century male who likes to keep one eye on home while he’s away on his travels. 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 balls, 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 located along the exterior part of the balance-selloe, 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. Elegant and sturdy, refined and efficient, the Reverso Squadra is available in three different designs, so that no sporting feat will pass unrecorded: for the Reverso Squadra Hometime and the Reverso Squadra Chronograph GMT there is a choice of steel or 18-carat rose gold, while a limited edition of the Reverso Squadra Chronograph Worldtime comes in titanium.
The secret Reverso
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 is ready to unveil 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. Besides their reversible cases, the ultimate proof of their heredity, and their youthful designs, which are at one and the same time daring and disciplined, all three versions have another feature in common – a second timezone of exemplary legibility, a function that today’s world has made quite simply indispensable.
Reverso Squadra Chronograph GMT.
Apart from a second timezone, the self-winding mechanical movement of the Reverso Squadra Chronograph GMT also boasts a chronograph, unquestionably the most useful of all sports functions. On the watch’s guilloché dial, glow-in-the-dark luminescent hours and minutes and a large high-contrast date in white on a black background provide heightened legibility. Three square apertures punctuate its face at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. The first, at 3 o’clock, displays the chronograph’s minutes, while the hours appear in the facing window at 9 o’clock. At 6 o’clock, the second, 24-hour timezone is displayed: this can be adjusted with the help of the crown. On either side of the latter are positioned the chronograph’s push-button controls, whose stylised shape underlines the case’s solid elegance. Successfully marrying style and function, the Reverso Squadra Chronograph GMT is a perfect expression of the Jaeger-LeCoultre spirit.
The legendary reversible watch’s case-back has been rendered transparent in order to reveal the workings of its hand-assembled and decorated self-winding mechanical movement, the Calibre Jaeger-LeCoultre 754. Equipped with a reassuringly generous 72-hour power reserve, the Reverso Squadra Chronograph GMT is available in steel or 18-carat pink gold, and will indicate with tireless precision whatever time you choose, day in day out for decades to come.
