The following year, Jaeger LeCoultre developed the Calibre 101, which had the distinction of being the smallest world clock mechanism and would also probably be between the lighter weighing less than a gram. The reverse was revealed in 1931 and Yes you must believe in the rumors and gossip, was specifically designed for British officers stationed in India, who played polo and wanted a way to protect their watches while they played. After enjoying a period of popularity, the Reverso lost favor with the public, until the 1960s, when an Italian dealer who was visiting the Jaeger LeCoultre factory, discovered several new watch boxes that had been forgotten in a drawer. He bought boxes, put mechanisms into them and immediately found buyers for all of them. Today, the reverse sales represent a large part of the total sales volume of the company.

Since the time of its founding to modern times, Jaeger LeCoultre has never failed in producing excellently manufactured clocks, but with reasonable prices, such as the Memovox and the Futurematic, presenting innovative additions. However, in 1970, as many other watchmakers, Jaeger LeCooultre was found needing financial aid desperately and just like the IWC, Jaeger LeCoultre currently belongs to the Richemont group. Many companies watch that continue manufacturing watches in Switzerland, Jaeger LeCoultre is among the few that still produces its own parts such as dials, boxes, mechanisms, bangles and hands. Definitely gained the reputation for being the watchmaker of the watchmakers. In a move that surely delighted fans to watches, Jaeger LeCoultre celebrated its 175th anniversary packing its spherical tourbillon doble-eje in the back doble-cara. Now, this particular wonder of the watches you can admire not only from above, but also from behind. The sight of the balance that moves continuously is simply captivating and difficult to escape from it.
