My view

What I think of it

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Septantième (Ref. 240.8.27) is an exceptional piece, launched in 2002 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the iconic reversible model. It made history as one of the first Reverso watches to house a shaped movement with such a long power reserve.

Technical Specifications

  • Case: Stainless steel, iconic swivel system.

  • Reference: JLQ3048420
  • Dimensions: Grande Taille 29 mm x 46 mm, giving a confident wrist presence while remaining elegant.

  • Movement: In-house caliber JLC 873. A manual-winding mechanical movement with two barrels.

  • Power reserve: 8 days (192 hours). A technical feat when it was released.

  • Dial: Silvered with central guilloché, painted Arabic numerals, flame-blued steel hands.

    Complications & Display

    • Power Reserve Indicator: At 11 o’clock, graduated from 0 to 8 days.
    • Day/Night Indicator: At 2 o’clock, to tell AM from PM.
    • Moon Phases: Integrated into the small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.
    • Big Date: Double-disc aperture at 7 o’clock.

      The icon, reinvented. Between tradition and high complication, this Reverso 8 Jours is the very embodiment of the Grande Maison’s savoir-faire. An investment for time, a pleasure for the eye.
