This is Nitta, who has been in charge of Jaeger-LeCoultre since April. Jaeger -LeCoultre was born in the sacred place of watchmaking in Switzerland, the Joux Valley, and has produced more than 1200 calibers since its establishment. This time, I will explain a little about the best-selling model " Reberuso ", which features a reversible case. The Reverso, which represents the brand, has many variations and similar models, so you may get lost when purchasing. Let me give you an example. Please look at the screen and try the problem.

Please answer the two model names above!

The left model has a “blue” dial, so those who are familiar with it will know that it is either the REF.3978480 Reverso Treveto Small Seconds or the REF.3988482 Reverso Treveto Duo Small Seconds . I still have two options...



The correct answer is REF.3978480 Reverso Tribute Small Seconds .



Model name: Reverso Treveto Small Seconds
REF.: 3978480
Movement: In-house hand-wound caliber 822/2
Case material: stainless steel
Size: 45.6 x 27.4mm
Water resistance: 3 ATM
Dial: Blue, Sunray finish
Strap: leather
Price: ¥924,000

The distinguishing point is the railway-shaped minute track . The REF.3978480 Reverso Triveto Small Seconds has a bit of a missing railway at 6 o'clock, while the REF.3988482 Reverso Triveto Duo Small Seconds is straight.



Do you know the model on the right?
With a two-needle stainless steel case and strap specification, there are multiple candidates and the difficulty level is high.

candidate


REF.2618540
Reverso Classic Monoface (Quartz)
REF.2608440
Reverso Classic Monoface (manual winding)
REF.2668432
Reverso Classic Duetto (manual winding)
REF.2518540
Reverso Classic Medium Monoface (Quartz)
REF.2548440
Reverso Classic Medium Monoface (manual winding)
REF.2588422
Reverso Classic Duetto (manual winding)
REF.2578422
Reverso Classic Duet (Automatic)

Is there a difference?
It's really hard to understand...

The correct answer is REF.2518540 Reverso Classic Medium Monoface (Quartz) .



Model name: Reverso Classic Monoface
REF.: 2518540
Movement: In-house quartz caliber 657
Case material: stainless steel
Size: 40.1 x 24.4mm
Water resistance: 3 ATM
Dial: silver gray
Strap: leather
Price: ¥497,200

The distinguishing point is in the dial specifications. Currently, the mechanical version of the Reverso Classic has a radial guilloche engraving , while the quartz version does not. The model in question has no dial engraving, and the REF.2618540 Small Monoface and REF.2518540 Medium Monoface are the only two models listed above that do not.



Next, you can guess the difference in size from the dial. The Chagaer-LeCoultre 'JL' logo at 12 o'clock is the deciding factor, the REF.2618540 small monoface is printed and the REF.2518540 medium monoface is three-dimensional. This is a place you might miss if you're not paying attention. I think that the person who found it is quite a reberuso lover. So, the model in question has a three-dimensional logo.



From the above, the quartz type and medium size model "Reverso Classic Medium Monoface (Quartz)" falls under this category.

This time, we introduced two models from the Reverso series. In addition to this, Jaeger-LeCoultre has many models, so we will introduce them one by one. Stay tuned for next time!
