The Watch: The Reverso Duoface Grand Taille (Ref. 274.8.85) from Jaeger-LeCoultre is a masterclass in Art Deco design and mechanical ingenuity. Introduced as part of the brand’s Duoface series, this model features two distinct dials: one for local time, the other for a second time zone, each powered by a single manually wound movement. The reversible case, originally designed in the 1930s for polo players, remains one of the most iconic silhouettes in watchmaking.
At 42mm x 26mm, the Grand Taille case offers a balanced presence on the wrist. The front dial features a classic silvered guilloché pattern with blued hands and Arabic numerals, while the reverse dial displays a contrasting black finish with Clous de Paris texture and a 24-hour subdial for travel tracking. Inside is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 854/1, a manual-wind movement specifically developed for this dual-display functionality.
Limited Edition of 1500
Condition: Light, careful wear throughout. The case remains sharp with only minor surface marks. Both dials are clean and the movement is running well.
