Reverso Duetto watches from the House of Jaeger Le Coultre

Company release, August 19, 2004

New Delhi

Endowed with an understated and refined new design, the Reverso Duetto Classique reflects different faces of today's woman. Its ingenious charm is a real head turner. Two back-to-back dials and a double set of hands turning in opposite directions driven by a single movement; its dual nature makes it a watch unique in its kind.

To be or not be a woman? For the Reverso Duetto Classique watch, this is simply not an issue: it is and remains feminine to the core. It reveals day-today seduction on the front and flirts with the night lights on the back, and to further enhance its fascinating appeal, Jaeger Le Coultre has created an original "dress" that features the perfect symbiosis of exquisite jewelery and beautiful watch making.

Travel office hours, theatre, opera, strolling in the city or the country: the Reverso Duetto Classique is consistently seductive, efficient and perfect. It loves changing style and playing on appearances. Exuding the subtlety of great classics, it is distinguished by the finesse and elegance of its lines and highlights pure shapes and proportions on its two dials.

On the front, its design is a restrained evocation of busy, active hours. Its vertically satin-brushed dial with an opaline centre features blued steel fan-shaped hands flirting gently with floral numerals. Its small seconds hand marks off the cadence of daily living while emphasizing the steady beat of Jaeger- Le-Coultre Calibre 865, a mechanical movement entirely dedicated to women.

Meanwhile the back features the time of dreams and refinement, its second face sparkling with 32 diamonds. The watch plays on contrasts with its new dial that is directly inspired by the famous Duoplan ladies' watch. Created in the 1920's, a transition period Art Noveau and Art Deco, the Duoplan embodied the spirit of the era, during which Jaeger-Le-Coultre earned renown for its feminine models.

These were the wild years in the Paris, marked by a taste for celebration and exuberance. Josep'phine Baker rode through Paris in her car pulled by an ostrich. People danced the swing in bars and in the street. Cars gained speed and skyscrapers climbed over higher, tokens of power and grandeur. Offering a contemporary version of 1920's style, the Reverso Duetto Classique watch symbolizes the multi faceted feminine world.
