Description
Offered here today is an uncommon Reverso Art Deco Ref. 270.2.62 in 18-carat rose gold. For context, this particular Reverso variant was produced for around 10 years, from 1992 to 2002, with only 900 pieces made in rose gold and 200 in white gold in that time period. Aesthetically, this Reverso is stunning, showcasing one of the most beautifully crafted and decorated movements I've encountered within a Reverso ‘Grand Taille’ case.

When examining a Reverso of this caliber, the saying "God is in the details" certainly applies. Starting with its beautifully finished dial, which embodies a distinct art deco aesthetic, the silver surface may initially appear plain from afar. However, a closer look reveals its complexity, featuring a plethora of intricate details. The outer section showcases a vertically brushed texture that sets the tone for what follows, complemented by a dimpled periphery that serves as the minutes track. At 6:00, you’ll find a charming small seconds display gracefully recessed between the ‘5’ and ‘7’ hour markers, framed by a contrasting railroad track on the outer section and a guilloché mid-section. Finally, the circular center hosts a captivating billowing rose lathe guilloché portion, all enhanced by beautifully applied rose gold markers around the dial and a set of elegant dauphine hands.

Moving on to the business end of this Ref. 270.2.62, the movement powering this mechanical masterpiece is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 822AD, which stands for ‘Art Deco’ and is essentially a skeletonized version of the Cal. 822. When fully wound, it boasts an impressive 45-hour power reserve, especially when considering its compact size. However, as impressive as that is, I believe the most remarkable aspect of this reference is its stunningly engraved and decorated movement. I think it’s important to note that while the front of the dial embodies Art Deco in its truest form—with its tasteful juxtaposition of various textures, lines, and curves conveying artistic extravagance—the movement side of the watch leans more towards art nouveau. This style emphasizes fluidity, asymmetry, and organic forms, which are all beautifully expressed in the construction and embellishment of the Cal. 822AD. Meticulously engraved, skeletonized, and adorned with vibrant thermally-blued screws and striking red rubies, the movement is a true spectacle of horological artistry. It flaunts a pronounced sense of liquidity and biomorphism, all while also demonstrating a fine visual balance that allows all elements to come together harmoniously.

While the time-telling side of this Reverso is the one that should obviously face you while on the wrist, I found myself frequently flipping it over to admire the stunning movement. Undoubtedly, this is the most captivating aspect of the Ref. 270.2.62. The level of detail on this side is simply astounding, with every element painstakingly executed by hand, showcasing the artisan's impeccable skill and hand-eye coordination. The result is an exquisite visual appeal that translates beautifully even in photographs.

When it comes to Jaeger-LeCoultre Reversos, I often tell people that there exists another realm filled with gems like this one. It's astonishing to consider the level of craftsmanship and intricacy concealed behind a seemingly plain dial face like that of the Ref. 270.2.62. Overall, this Reverso embodies the pinnacle of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmaking excellence and stands as a testament to the Maison's unwavering commitment to genuine artistry and versatility within the Reverso lineage.

For the true connoisseur, this is a Reverso that simply cannot be overlooked.
