In recent days, JaegerLeCoultre has brought us another surprise, launching a new Reverso Tribute Geographic watch! This watch not only continues the classic flip design, but is also equipped with the new 834 movement, which realizes the functions of dual time zones and large calendar. It is simply an innovation in the watch industry! Want to know what other highlights this watch has? Read on!

One watch, dual time zones

In the watch industry, flip case design is no longer new. This design originated from the Reverso series of watches produced by the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand. At that time, its main function was to provide protection for athletes. Unexpectedly, over time, this design gradually evolved into a core technology of the brand.

No, in recent days Jaeger-LeCoultre has launched a new model based on the classic design of the Reverso series – the Reverso Tribute Geographic. The case size of this watch is 49.4 mm (lug to lug), 29.9 mm (horizontal length), 11.14 mm (height), which is basically the same as the Reverso Tribute Chronograph, both of which are relatively large watches.

The biggest highlight of the Reverso Tribute Geographic is that it is equipped with the newly developed 834 movement. The 834 movement is a dual time zone movement. It can not only provide the function of a large calendar, but also display the time around the world at the same time. This is almost unimaginable in traditional watchmaking technology.

Due to the particularity of the movement, it does not go from one dial to the other like other movements, but places two functional modules on the digital dial and the pointer dial respectively. The two-digit date display is very eye-catching, as if a new digital disc is placed side by side with the main movement.

Although the visual connection with the previous model Reverso Tribute Chronograph is not strong, this watch still shows excellent design and watchmaking craftsmanship. We all know that the Chronograph is a very classic complex function, but the combination of the large calendar and the world time is almost blank in the history of watches, which also makes the Reverso Tribute Geographic a quite innovative work.

From the appearance, this watch still has dials on both sides, but the back is the display surface of the movement, and the front is the display surface of the functions. The front of the new watch still uses polished and faceted three-dimensional scales, while the stainless steel model has a deep blue dial with a small seconds hand.

The most eye-catching thing is this new digital disk, which carries the function of a large calendar. Because the date numbers are too large, two digits are chosen for display. In 2021, Jaeger-LeCoultre has applied for a patent for this technology.

If the Chronograph is a double-sided watch in the traditional sense, then this Reverso Tribute Geographic breaks through the traditional “double-sided” design framework in terms of innovation. It uses a movement to fill the gap between the two sides, which is a completely new attempt in the entire watch industry.

Wearing experience

However, the biggest concern about this watch is its “too wide” figure. In the watch industry, generally speaking, watches with a diameter of more than 40 mm are considered large, and this Reverso Tribute Geographic reaches 49.4 mm. For women or men with slender wrists, the wearing experience may be greatly affected.

If you like watches, you must try this Reverso Tribute Geographic, because the watchmaking craftsmanship and design concepts it displays are worthy of praise, and its appearance is also very collectible.

Conclusion

In short, the Reverso Tribute Geographic is undoubtedly a watch that is both beautiful and practical. Although its size may not be suitable for everyone, its design and craftsmanship are really amazing.
