Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Ref. Q398847J – Twin-Time Elegance in Stainless Steel

The Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Ref. Q398847J celebrates the iconic 1931 Reverso design with refined dual-time sophistication. Launched in 2025, this stainless steel marvel merges handsome Art Deco lines with practical functionality—perfect for the modern gentleman or frequent traveler.

Case Size

Front Dial – Black Sunray Finish

The front dial shines in deep black sunray lacquer, achieved through multiple layers that radiate under light. It features polished Dauphine hands, applied baton indices, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. A silver-rail minute track adds contrast without muddling the sleek aesthetic.

Reverse Dial – Silver Sunray 24‑Hour Indicator

Movement Performance

Inside is the hand-wound Calibre 854, a high-performance rectangular movement with 160 components, 19 jewels, and a 42‑hour power reserve. Developing in-house, it beats at 21,600 vph and elegantly drives dual-face dials through a single movement. It also incorporates a concealed pusher to adjust the second time zone—clever and discreet.

Straps Wearability

The watch is accompanied by two Casa Fagliano straps: one black calfskin leather, and another black calf-leather with grey canvas. Both are secured with an interchangeable double-folding stainless-steel clasp, allowing easy style swaps for different occasions.
