Watch Description

Exceptional complication reinvented. This is the promise of the new Reverso Tribute Chronograph, which features an hour-minute display on its two dials with contrasting and complementary styles. The front dial soberly displays the aesthetic codes of the Tribute line: gadroons, “railroad” minute track, applied hour-markers and Dauphine hands stand out against the sunray black dial. Once turned over on its cradle, the watch reveals a meticulously crafted open-worked reverse that unveils every detail of the new Manufacture Calibre 860 and the formidable mechanics of the retrograde chronograph: hour markers and minute track that seem to float above the movement, blue hands, bevelled bridges, Côtes de Genève… in leather or bi-material (leather/canvas), two interchangeable straps in Casa Fagliano design provide the watch with either a natural or a more sophisticated look

### Watch Summary

The JLC Reverso Tribute Chronograph Gold Model Q389257J is a sophisticated timepiece that epitomizes elegance and technical prowess. Classified primarily as a Formal/Business watch, it features a slim, rectangular case crafted from luxurious gold, making it ideal for formal occasions and professional settings. The Reverso's iconic design, with its reversible case, allows for dual dials, showcasing both a classic time-only display and a chronograph function. This model is powered by a manual movement, specifically the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 860, which offers a power reserve of approximately 52 hours. The watch is intended for connoisseurs who appreciate fine craftsmanship and the historical significance of the Reverso line, appealing to those who value both aesthetic refinement and horological innovation.

### Overall Watch Rating: 8.3/10.0

- **Functions Metric (9.0/10.0)**
The Reverso Tribute Chronograph excels with its dual-dial functionality, offering both a time-only display and a chronograph. Its water resistance is modest, suitable for everyday wear, and the manual movement provides a respectable power reserve.

- **Movement Metric (8.8/10.0)**
The watch is equipped with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 860, a manual-wind movement known for its precision and complexity. The chronograph function adds technical depth, though it lacks the high-end finishing of some competitors.

- **Dials &amp; Design Metric (8.7/10.0)**
The Reverso's design is iconic, with its reversible case and dual dials. The craftsmanship is excellent, featuring applied markers and a refined finish, though it doesn't reach the artisanal level of the top-tier designs.

- **Material Metric (8.5/10.0)**
Crafted from gold, the watch boasts high-quality materials and a luxurious finish. The use of precious metal enhances its appeal, though it lacks the variety of materials seen in some other high-end models.

- **History &amp; Innovation Metric (8.4/10.0)**
The Reverso line is historically significant, originally designed for polo players in the 1930s. This model continues the tradition with its innovative reversible case, though it doesn't introduce groundbreaking new technology.

- **Complications Metric (8.2/10.0)**
The chronograph complication is well-executed, adding functionality to the classic Reverso design. However, it lacks the complexity of more advanced complications like perpetual calendars or tourbillons.

- **Versatility Metric (8.0/10.0)**
While primarily a formal watch, the Reverso's dual-dial design offers some versatility, allowing it to transition from business to casual settings. Its gold construction, however, limits its suitability for more rugged environments.

- **Rarity Metric (7.8/10.0)**
As a luxury timepiece with limited production, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph is relatively rare, though not as exclusive as some limited editions or unique pieces.

- **Brand Metric (7.5/10.0)**
Jaeger-LeCoultre is a respected name in haute horology, known for its innovation and craftsmanship. While highly regarded, it doesn't have the same market presence as some of the top-tier luxury brands.

### Celebrity and Historical Figures

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso has been favored by numerous celebrities and historical figures. Notably, actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been seen wearing a Reverso, highlighting its appeal among Hollywood elites. Additionally, the Reverso's historical roots in the polo community add to its allure, with its design originally intended to withstand the rigors of the sport.</p>
