Jaeger-LeCoultre continues the evolution of one of watchmaking’s most enduring icons with a series of newly proportioned Reverso models for 2026, led by the Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds ref. Q3908410, a refined reinterpretation of the dual-time classic with dimensions closer to the historical spirit of the collection.
Created in 1931 and instantly recognisable for its swivelling case and Art Deco lines, the Reverso has continually adapted to changing tastes while preserving its unmistakable identity (see its history here).
With current interest returning to more restrained proportions and classical elegance, Jaeger-LeCoultre has revisited several references through more compact executions designed to offer improved comfort and balance on the wrist.
At the centre of this new chapter is the Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds, now presented in a new “medium” format measuring 42.9 mm x 25.5 mm and 9.23 mm thick.
These revised proportions bring it closer to the original Duoface models introduced in 1994, while maintaining the presence and practicality expected of a contemporary travel watch.
Crafted in stainless steel, the case retains the signature reversible construction that allows two distinct dials to coexist within a single watch.
On the front, a silvered opaline dial presents the time with Dauphine-style hands, small seconds at 6 o’clock, trapezoidal applied indexes and a railroad minute track.
Turning the case over reveals the second face, dedicated to travel functionality. Here, a blue-grey dial introduces a new colour to the Duoface line, enhanced by sunray satin-brushing that interacts elegantly with the polished steel surfaces of the case.
This reverse side displays a second time zone together with a 24-hour indication, allowing intuitive distinction between day and night hours.
The second time zone is easily set by means of a trigger on the side of the steel case.
Powering the watch is the manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 854, developed specifically for the Duoface concept.
The movement drives both displays while maintaining a slim profile suited to the Reverso case architecture. It offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
The Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds ref. Q3908410 is delivered with a black calfskin strap designed by Casa Fagliano and equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s quick-change system, allowing effortless strap changes without tools. Price: €14,800 / US$14,100.
The new launches also include several smaller models for women.
The Reverso Classic Small Monoface (35.78 mm x 21 mm x 7.4 mm) is presented in two versions: one in steel with an alligator strap or steel bracelet, and one in 18k pink gold (750/1000) with an alligator strap.
For the Reverso Classic Small Duetto (34.2 mm x 21 mm x 8.7 mm), Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces three variations. Two models are crafted in steel, including one set with diamonds on the verso, available with an alligator strap or steel bracelet.
A third variation features diamonds on both the recto and verso, paired with a blue alligator strap or steel bracelet, and is delivered with an additional alligator strap for added versatility.
Finally, an updated Reverso Classic Monoface ‘Origin’ features gadroons set with diamonds on the recto and is presented in steel with an interchangeable blue alligator strap or a steel bracelet.
Unlike the other ladies’ references, which are powered by the hand-wound Calibre 844, this model is equipped with the Quartz Calibre 657. jaeger-lecoultre.com
