Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Date GMT – Duo Face – 240.8.18 – ca. 2009
You might not immediately think of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso as a sportive or everyday watch. Long associated with elegance and formal wear, the Reverso has traditionally carried a certain classic discipline. This version, however, has the ability to change that perception.
The Reverso Grande Date GMT DuoFace, ref. 240.8.18, comes in a larger case size and introduces genuine daily versatility through its dual-time functionality. Designed with travel in mind, it delivers practicality without compromising the refined identity that defines the Reverso.
On the silvered front dial, the watch displays a beautifully balanced layout with a guilloché finish, bold Arabic numerals, a prominent large date at 6 o’clock, a small seconds sub-dial, and a day/night indicator featuring a warm orange-gold sun. This side remains elegant and expressive, offering character without unnecessary complexity.
Flip the case to reveal the black reverse dial, where the watch adopts a more technical personality. Here you’ll find the GMT function with clear + / – hour indication, an impressive 8-day power reserve indicator, and a day/night display rendered in black and white for maximum legibility. Purposeful, graphic, and highly functional, this side underlines the Reverso’s suitability as a true travel companion.
The choice of an orange strap was both easy and intentional, echoing the tones of the sun on the front dial and reinforcing the watch’s more dynamic character. It adds a contemporary edge while remaining perfectly in harmony with the Reverso’s architectural lines.
Powered by an in-house manual-winding Jaeger-LeCoultre movement, the Reverso Grande Date GMT DuoFace stands as a thoughtful blend of elegance and utility. A Reverso that feels entirely at ease in daily wear, while remaining unmistakably refined—proof that this iconic design can evolve without losing its soul.
The strap is entirely hand-made in Germany, using the finest Fjord / Togo-Leather available.
