For graduates across the world, there is no greater feeling that graduation day. The feeling that exams, endless research papers, lengthy lectures are long gone is priceless and what greater way to mark the day then engraving your watch with a personal message that embodies that sentiment forever?
Since its launch, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso watch has always been more than just a sports timepiece. Created in 1931, the legendary watch was made in response to a challenge set by India-based British colonial army officers who wanted a timepiece that can survive a polo match. From the very beginning, the Reverso watch offered owners the ability to engrave the steel or gold case - making the It bespoke timepiece.
The timepiece’s iconic rotating case made it a work of art and a way to express one’s personal message. In an intimate look into past engravings, the archive of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso watch offers hundreds of insightful hand-engraved initials, crests, numbers, pictures and portraits.
Celebrating the 80th anniversary of this iconic timepiece, Jaeger-LeCoultre made available additional options for personalization, no matter how simple or complicated they are. The manufacture offered new options of engraving, gem-setting and enameling to make the Reverso watch as unique as its wearer.
This year, English letters and Art Deco will be available in an edgy modern typeface or an elegant classical one, with the option of using colors. Through the online personalization service, the owner will also have the opportunity to choose a particular design, badge or personal motif. For a more scientific feel, JLC offers owners the possibility to personalize the metal with a digital imprint, a map of a region or country. As for diamond-lovers, one can also have gem-set jewelry motifs embedded.
